I find it *REALLY* had to believe his dealer 7 total so far....let alone in one go.....

I mean everyone acts like these are collectible...and i've had a bunch of them, they aren't. Millennials (I'm one of them) will not keep this market going in another 20 years, and Porsche knows that these fossil burners are all but over. These cars are the equivalent of mecum auction of 60's muscle cars from 20 years ago. Porsche doesn't care about keeping anything rare, they are not in the business to make collectibles, they'll pump as many of these out as they can, just watch.
I'm calling BS on this. Everyone I have spoke too had got 1-3 max. None of which have had a 2nd batch of allocations YET.

Welcome to V170 purgatory. All of us with originally early June productions of Caymans/Boxsters have gone or are going to TBD on dates and delivery date pending it seems. Two friends had theirs switch to that this week while mine switched back on 3/3. This isn't just an RS thing but just seems to be 718 June production overall, and there are no answers as to why since this was set by PAG. My guess, and only a guess, is that existing production has now pushed back into June so far that we're now beyond the currently known production event horizon and our new dates are just too far out for them to commit to anything. Remember that Germany slows to a crawl for August break as well.

It's crazy how people get offended that a dealership got 7 lol...What are you worried about?

BH Porsche, Their first round of GT3 I remember they got 20...so 7 really isn't much. No clue on which allocation set this was for them, It was the one from a couple months ago...Maybe Jan. They just got a March batch I know of a gt4 and a few Gts's they got, I would assume they got more RS if they got a normal GT4, but I don't know...I only asked about those 2 models.

7 new allocations?

my dealer allegedly still cannot even build the one i was given (build #3) from their pool of eventual allocations. that seems hard to believe

They're probably selling the ones in front of you for 125k over like BH hahahaha

I think it is in their interest to act like they only have 1 or 2. How else do you get people to pay those massive ADM's?

From the response, I think this was just the first allocation drop.

7 in the first batch is a lot, but it may have been because there are a lot of 918 VIPs there and PCNA was taking care of them first.

Fantastic point. This would make total sense and they don't count as official dealer allocations.

same here. my dealer's gm suspects it'll be released as an MY23 allocation, and that's what the hold up is.

I guess a little better to know it's not just me in that boat right now then... Let's all hope it's soon!

Congrats and thanks for the info. What is your build date? I should check on mine and don’t know if I’m going to be in the first or second batch.

Probably Beverly Hills as they are one of the biggest dealers in the US.
