It literally makes no sense for them to be done. They are halfway through allocations for production months for MY 24.

Well. They will make a lot more money on each GT3rs and ST for sure vs the GT4rs. And SRS will easily offset the GT4rs numbers....

If we know there's going to be a MY 24, it would indeed be strange to not have any allocations in 2024! I really doubt that they're done.

there are MY24 4RS in market Link

those allocations were given out earlier in the year and produced from Aug. the question is whether there will be more coming or will they be MY25 if there are more to come.

Yeah 2024 has been out there for what four or five months? At least the allocations have been. But seems like there's been a pause on allocations for the last 3 months. I could be wrong on the exact dates. But I don't think there's been any new allocations since the summer. Allegedly new
​​​allocations were coming out in October but it sounds like that's been pushed out to November. That's on all new GT allocations. For example ST's in America. So we'll see if new GT4 RS allocations come out in the next couple of weeks. But September and October's been quiet.

I believe that dealer had a couple non PTS pool allocations for 2024 (as I bought one last month). I’m also hearing that 4RS allocations are done, there will be a few 2024s from the pool but Spyder’s will be the bulk of 2024 for the 718 RS’s.

We’ll have to see.

That is interesting.
But does he mean no more 4RS allocations in 2023 or in 2024 or even none at all anymore?
Thanks for clarifying.

I think it means the dealer thinks no more ever. But this wasn’t something they told me just to inform me. I asked for the build sheet for the used one they have for sale, and they said they were told no more 4RS allocations.

But earlier this year, they told me no more GT3 allocations… then several months later they got me one. I think most dealers are deliberately kept in the dark by Porsche.

They are all ****ed is what it is. The rates/yields being as high as they are means very bad news for cars in general - particularly these extremely superfluous ones like $250,000 gt porsche with a wing. Free money is gone. Now your $300,000 loan actually is a $365,000 loan. You are paying a 20% premium to borrow and yes I know real men use cash to buy a gt car but SO MANY i guess werent as so lol.

There are planned cars, and then there those that become available because they exceeded expectation in some way (eg supplier worked an extra shift). It’s not always a conspiracy.

Not a conspiracy, but when you say no more, and then there are more, it’s misleadingly, I think intentionally.

What’s the farthest out build date currently allocated for a MY24 that someone has?

OK, I have an update. Had a long face to face chat with my GM today. He thinks it's likely that more 4RS allocations are coming, some maybe at the same time as SRS. He doesn't know how many or when. I'm not guaranteed to get an allocation because there are other customers as well-positioned as me, which is a bummer, but I appreciate his honesty. We shall see.

You could have just stopped at above.
