GT2 RS Storm is Brewing
Has to be. There are 100-150 running the streets in Europe right now. And 135 being loaded on boats to the USA. They get delivered FEB 5th!!!
Which version of the suspension is correct, the parts catalog of the interview? The Porsche website says solid connection between body and frame, LSA rear, enhanced hub carriers with macpherson-type struts. I would be surprised if it weren't a production equivalent car that did the 7:18. I am hopeful you are receiving what you expected.
Wow, this is very interesting. I am really curious to hear your findings.
I also noted there is no clear mention on the Porsche.com GT2 RS product demo.
It states the following:
"ride height, camber, toe angle and also the stabilizers on the chassis can be adjusted on the front and rear axles and therefore adapted to the required driving behavior"
Well is it adjustable like a standard car or with spherical bearings? Hmmmm....

Could someone chime in here and explain better? To my understanding, what Prueninger said in the interview is NOT what is coming on the car. Or so I understand it. What I want to know is the difference explained somewhat.
Link to interview?

Video:
The quote you are looking for is here, starting at 10:49 "... so the suspension is not identical to the GT3 RS..." and "... rose-jointed..." at 11:20.

At the event, everyone will have bought their car already. Car must be paid for or financing arranged or whatever before delivery event.
I will live......
this is from Edmunds review of the 2011 GT2 RS
While the suspension configuration is similar to that of the GT3 RS, many of the control arms and links now have Heim joints for precise control. Meanwhile the rear springs have linear rates rather than progressive, and they also carry tiny helper springs to maintain some loading in the suspension on full rebound (a typical motorsport application).
from Road & Track:
In the handling department, ball-joints are now on duty at all connection points—the front toe links being the only exception—allowing the suspension components to better maintain their geometry under load. More suspension rigidity also means that the RS can fully exploit its Michelin Pilot Sport Cup N1 spec (front) and N2 spec (rear) tires, and generate a Porsche-claimed 1.5g of lateral grip. Through Germany’s Black Forest, the car feels right a home, with precise steering feel and confidence-inspiring rear grip, even in the wet. And despite the firmer springs coupled to adjustable dampers, the ride is never choppy and feels quite compliant.
I think you will have one of the most exceptional Porsches ever made
