"GT3-RSRs and RS Spyders are hand-built, using the same just-in-time production techniques—whereby parts arrive only as needed—now used at Zuffenhausen. “This has resulted in a reduction in manufacturing time of between 30 and 50 percent,” said Philip Morsey, head of motorsport technology and logistics. “An RSR can now be assembled in one long day if required.”

So, why aren't ther more available for sale in the US!:XX every dealer has five deposits on hand for at most three to an individual dealer.

That is close to Gemballas factory, I will take a look next week when I am in Niefern. Here is a poor quality picture that I took in Stuttgart, a whole bunch of suspension sub assemblies getting ready to go over to the factory, there is a little bit of every brake configuration.
