Just think of the value on them just now? surely scarcity must have made them appreciate?

I'd be cashing in, then getting my name down for the cayman GT4RS...
It wasn't a good enough car in the first place.

There's no GT4RS......

That's the problem. If you want one there are several of the pre-built cars for sale at a reasonable price offering lots of discount on list. Audi UK still refuse to give an official status on the car, so there is a belief in dealers that the order books might open in the UK, they just don't know when. To compound this last week Audi USA opened their order books for the TTRS and there's no limited run.

Hence getting your name down for one...there's widespread chatter of one, and I'm sure i saw a more recent article than the link confirming from porsche that it'll be offered in manual and PDK...

TTRS seems to get a pretty good write-up, but does seem to be confused over what it is...

Ah, i was thinking the prespecced were all taken, and as such, the Porsche phenomenon would kick in...not to the same level as the GT3's and R...but a few K may have been possible if the "i want one now" brigade was about.

However take Doodlebug's point...if the car isn't a legend to start with, the likelihood of a bump in value is low...

Currently, I'm looking at the 911 GTS as my next car...

drove the RS4 for the first time in two weeks today and if I'm honest, i still love it, but there's always something else I want! ha

I've not driven a GTS, gen 1 or 2. Both fantastic cars, so in part comes down to NA vs turbo. New car is quicker of course. I prefer the standard Carrera to the S, the S was very whistley.

I have only driven the gen 2 4S Targa, was on a closed runway, courtesy of Porsche...Noise wasn't there...I'm looking at both at the minute. trying to nail down preferences...buckets vs no buckets, PASM, PDK etc...and NA vs Turbo as the biggie...

Saw this one yesterday in Lava Orange I think. It's a lovely car the GTS, although I'd have one with just the ducktail spoiler.

Won't be many with buckets or manual gearbox in the market. PDK RWD are the most plentiful in gen 1. Gen 2 has much improved infotainment.

This topic has gone a little off track now! ha, if only Audi would give us something to go on... and not the RS5!

I got a mail "inviting" me to be one of the first to order the RS5...think I'll pass, thanks...

I've always loved my Audis and was waiting for the new RS4 but tbh the B9, for some reason, wasn't doing it for me. So I've gone down the 2 car route - a focus for the dogs and a 991.1 2s for everything else, almost went for a GTS but the wife put a stop to it!

predictable response

I'm sure the rear spoiler will be optional

other than than that it looked like a road going touring car .... if a "petrol head" thinks that ridiculous, then he must be Porsha driver ...

Glad I'm predictable.

It's a pimped XE. Going to have to go some to beat the Alfa, assuming it ever makes the production line. Will be up there with the depreciation winners.

I'll stick with my Pork.
