Good question, don’t really hear much about how many has been allocated in Canada either.

@Whoopsy , with you contacts do you know of any allocations in canada? No one’s come out to say they’ve got allocations up North.

Yes. Not a VIP myself and I had an offer for one. Several other dealers in my area have 2 each. And they are expensive. A couple dealers are going the “charity” route. Holding an auction this summer for their dealer spec builds, some proceeds or mechanism to benefit charity.

What a bummer. Have they told you you could wait for PCCBs if you want a later delivery or do you just have to take what you can get when you can get it?

Dealer said the same to me. No PCCB's for mine, the options they gave me were either no PCCB's, or pass on my allocation and wait for a later one which still did NOT guaranteed PCCB's. So I just left it with stock brakes.

Mine is scheduled to have a European Delivery in July. But still waiting on words about production delay. And the first round of Canadian allocations has been done back in like mid January.

Guys, it’s happening. Litter Rennlist with all the sarcasm you like, it is what it is. Way it was explained, the bids and fervor over the allocations was, “insane”. So they took their non-VIP allocations off the market, and decided on taking a different road to release them.

Like it or not. It’s the way a number of dealerships have decided to solve a no-win scenario with their clients.

Personally, I’m working to get a ticket. If for nothing else, to see how it all plays out. Maybe I go home with one.

There will be MR versions of every GT product going forward. Since Manthey is majority-owned by Porsche, they are involved from an early stage of development…

Yeah...I know....just surprised if they are actually working on the car already. Looking forward on what they can extract from the 4RS
