Whole Lotta random information going on around here.... who knows what's what these days. Even the dealers are in the dark. The only reliable information is once you receive a commission # and sign that build sheet.

Both my SA and SM at my dealer are customers of mine. I'm in contact with them about once a month for different reasons other than P cars. Both say GT4RS allocations are done for them and that Porsche is moving on. However, there are Rennlisters that want a different outcome, so they post what they'd like to see happen rather than what many folks are experiencing trying to find an allocation. My advice, GT4RSs will never be cheaper than they are right now. If you want one, pay your ADM (or take the equivalent losses in depreciation on the 4 Macans you need to buy to get higher on the list). At some point in the near future we'll have to go back to all these posts and call out those that were overly-obnoxious while getting it wrong. Results matter.

it's just common sense they wouldn't mass produce regardless of being numbered or not.

Its honestly commom sense. They have to keep the lines running at peak efficiency amd the platform for the 4RS and parts needed to build likely create a lower overall profit point. Plus it's such a unique car Porsche always wanted to make it special for all those that craved a GT3 motor in a 718 Platform.
it's just common sense they wouldn't mass produce regardless of being numbered or not.

So what is Porsche going to build if not the 4RS? They cancelled the GT4 and Spyder this year already. Are they ONLY going to build Spyder RSs at that plant now? Seems like excessive capacity for a model that's so compromised. I don't think there will be equal number of buyers for it as there were for the 4RS.

When did common sense and Porsche learn to co-exist. I am of the camp they will keep building the GT4RS until they shut down 718 production. Also do you really expect a dealer to tell you the truth about allocations. It's in their best interest to keep the hype going of limited availability. Peter
In the late 1980's I invented a product called colored gauge faces, they were metal panels that came in different colors that laid over the VDO gauges and you could turn your stock black gauge faces to white, red, tan, etc. Mine were different to the stickers that were available at the time, laser cut dies at a time when that was very high tech. I supplied them to a catalog company called Performance Products, which is still around in a much smaller form, but was absolutely huge for the Porsche community at the time. It was my first attempt into manufacturing (was in my early 20s) and the Porsche world in general. One thing I noticed is that even back then there was a lot of inheritance money in the Porsche community. You can infer from that what you will but I'd say common sense has a better chance of developing in those folks that were forced to start from zero or near zero.

Dealers don’t know what Porsche doesn’t tell them. They may decide to make more 4RS, as they did the GT3.
