Just wondering where the cars are being built.
Yes, my 2021 Spyder has an S in the origin so Zuffenhausen. Believe some Caymans show Osnabruck...

Mine is on a boat fixing to round the Florida Keys then north- westbound to Houston as I type. Sure hope they stay out of the big rollers from Hurricane Zeta-UGH!

I had always thought that (all) GT cars (certainly 911s thereof) were assembled in Zuffenhasuen...

Not at least for the 718's, we looked at this for the 2020 models and determined that most (if not all) GT4's were assembled in Osnabruck, Spyders in Zuffenhausen.

Most are....Here is what Albrecht Reimold, Member of the Executive Board for Production, said in 2018: "Everything is running to schedule, but I'd like to add something here. Traditionally, Zuffenhausen was all about the Porsche 911. But step by step, we have integrated the 718 model lines into production and we now build all of the two-door sports cars at the main plant again. In order to satisfy the high level of demand, some of the production for the 718 Cayman – overspill production – is carried out at the VW site in Osnabrück."

Appears most GT4s on Autotrader carry S VINs...but not hard to find K-cars:

I wonder what determines which plant?
My Miami Blue GT4 is due to start production this coming Friday.

Ok question from the New guy here. Since I have never Ordered a new one. Do the GTS 4.0 and the GT4 have the same schedule for being built or are they different because one is a GT car?

Are the GTS 4.0 and the GT4 built on the same line? Or are the GT4 built separately. I guess is what I am asking.

All Boxsters are built in Zuffenhausen...some Caymans, including GT4s, are built in Osnabruck as overflow capacity.

You can look at the VINs, S for Zuff and K for Ons

The Osnabruck cars have more HP.
