They are so nice and call and chat and no pressure at all to buy just building a good relationship with a future customer. I totally agree with free market and this free market isn't good my wallet so I must go find the next best deal that I feel is of value.
Not surprised. Was told by a good friend looking for a 992 GT3 they could get him one @ MSRP in 18 month but expected him to trade in his 991 GT3 right now. He told'em .......

Well, if you are correct in the total number, that would be pretty amazing and no one should be worried about dealers selling spec cars because with 9000 production volume, there would be lots filled with them.

The ONLY reason to even remotely entertain paying a REASONABLE ADM on a a car like this, is so you get an open allocation that you can build yourself. I would never pay a penny over MSRP for a car that the dealer specs. Especially a Porsche GT car. What the actual ****. If I'm paying this kind of money for a car, it needs to be EXACTLY how I want it. Not spec'd to some gaudy high hell by a dude in a suit.

Have y'all seen how some dealers spec cars? A lot of ugly color combos and options nobody wants. But they include because it's an easy way to get the sticker price up higher.

I was told something similar about the 2022 GT4RS allocations by an SA in my area. But he thought that meant that there wouldn't be anymore GT4RS's after that.

I thought the scuttlebutt a ways back (with all of the other accurate info) was an estimated worldwide production of 2000-2200. That would be consistent with the 200 production for MY22 and about 600 for MY23 and a few for MY24.

To be honest I don't think a lot of SA's are really reading into the full story. They hear 'we're only getting 1 car next year', then they extrapolate that into, 'they're not making the GT4RS' for more than one MY. 2000 total for the US market seems like a reasonable guess, but who knows with the supply chain situation.

I have heard it's going to be quite limited, think hundreds of cars in the country.

For the entire run? I'll take the over on that bet.

Approx 5 k worldwide.

A third to US. Similar to 2016 GT4 numbers.

That assumes no major supply chain or COVID issues ...

Is this an informed belief or an estimate based on prior production?

Yes. Keep the post number in mind.

I hope for more as I'd like one, but let's see where the chips fall.

It’s going to be hilarious if the regular 718 GT4 turns out to be more rare than the RS variant. Have we even broken 2000 total US 718 GT4s yet?

I'll say I'm excited for a potential GT4RS allocation, but I'm looking at the GT3 configurator again and having some second thoughts. When you consider adding in PTS (and resultant WP) in to the GT4RS in order to get more reasonable colors, you're essentially at the price of a pretty reasonable GT3.

Of course, you have to get a GT4RS/GT3 allocation.

Almost as if they planned it that way!
