It talks about a slow down due to lack of demand. Not shut down.

I will say it is manufacturer dependent.

If there is a demand, Porsche will keep on producing GT cars. If anything, I am guessing it might be easier to get one if you want one.

COVID caused some people to drop their allocation. Cars are available with no ADM.

title is not accurate
manufacturers adjust production according to demand, which is a normal procedure
demand is slow secondary to economic down turn related to covid
so they have to slow production or otherwise they will end up with a glut of cars
the effect on GT cars , is you will go to a dealer , order a car , get a reasonable discount , and they thank you for your business

No discounts or adm here. Dealers in the GTA showing record days over the last few weeks.

that is transient because of shut down, but overall economies all over the world have been hit hard , so demand will be weaker and the virus spread is still unfortunately in the early stages

I doubt it will impact the production of Porsche's, Zuffenhausen can only produce around 150 cars a day anyway ... I should imagine that they have sufficient if not more demand than that...
