GT4 RS - any information from OPCs?

I had a few OPCs who at least entertained the idea of me ordering a Spyder. But the second hand market also has a lot to offer here, particularly with the 981. Maybe once (and if) the market cools down I'll go down that route..Twinfan said:RSs are usually pretty limited this will be even more so according to rumours.
Spyders aren't exactly easy to get hold of either!
I'm a bit late, but just found out the GT4 RS will be released. Naturally, my first impulse was to get in touch with my OPC (two minutes after finding out about the release) only to be told the standard "due to high demand we are not able to proceed with any orders at this stage".
Has anyone here had the opportunity to be on the list of getting one? If so - any idea on what it will cost, roughly, and if mere mortals can get their hands on one?

I think it is cancelled for 2022.fergusor said:Hopefully it'll be at the Geneva Motor Show next year, booked my flight for it already.
7.04 Ring time with R spec put it's where it needs to be as the 7.12 GT3 time was on normal tyres, R spec is worth 12 seconds at the ring so 7.00 dead for a 991.2 GT3. Keeps every thing in line car and badge wise. RS will be launched March 2022 with a 6.39 ring time, it's already done a 6.41 but they are still finding time and tweaking it to do a sub 6.40. BHP of the GT4 RS, who knows ?, they will give it just enough to place it where it needs to be, but on looks it must have circa 470BHP as it's so bloody fast and a shock it has this 9k reving engine.
On the plus side SHORTER GEARING gets the car out the bends fast,
on the BAD side none of us are getting one :-( and overs will be easy £50k. Expect the RS SPyder soon after. And a Sports ed 992.
