GT3 RS for sale in VA

just saw that this is for sale. It says only one in the US? Is it a real RS? Somebody's got to snag this thing.

I looked at the RS @ Ferrari of Washington a few weeks ago. Stunning car. I only had a few minutes at lunch so I didn't talk to anyone, but a friend spoke to the dealership (he was somewhat interested in buying it) and it is a real RS. If memory serves me they were talking in the range of $180k or so.

She had a lot of bugs on the center radiator, so she's been test driven a few times too. I wonder how much a set of Dealer tags would cost as an accessory?

How did they make it US legal? I read the RS wasn't supposed to arrive in the States.

195,000 with 1200 miles ? My Gt3 will be almost to that spec for much less. The major parts difference between the RS and the standard GT3 are...lightweight flywheel/clutch and RS suspension. Total parts cost: $8,500. The only thing left to do for me would be the lexan rear window, nose and CF hood....It's won't be an RS....but close enough...

Yessir its a collector's car, rare and quite beautiful! But 0-62 they say is 4.4 sec's i know just a claim, but for a regular Gt3 they've gotten 4.1, how quick is the RS exactly??

it's the same motor i believe as the gt3. 400hp. So it should be just as fast. I think it's just more like a limited edition club sport version.
