FLAT 6!

holy crap. In my half asleep state I didn’t even notice I wrote that. You’re the hero I need, not the one I deserve.

Porsche is no fool and is amazing at marketing, I bet after a few years of the electric Cayman they will do some kind of NA/Turbo variant.

Does anyone actually have a source for the claim that GTS allocations are gone for MY23 and that there won’t be production for MY24? Because all the automotive magazines have articles about the MY24 vehicle and I’ve seen no indication so far that either statement is true.

I’m looking actively for an allocation, but everything I’ve heard—from dealers—is that additional allocations will be available in Q2 for Q3 delivery.

also the guy saying allocations are gone for the “NA V6” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the source given it’s a flat 6…

The flat 6 comment was an honest typo mistake.. While there is no official source.. every dealer you talk to is out of allocations for new 718 GT4s or Spyder's.. Obviously nothing is confirmed but I think at the end of the day it comes down to this.. if you want a car and have the means to get one, there are a lot of good CPO options. If your own spec and newer MY is important enough to risk not getting one then wait it out. It's no secret the Cayman is going all electric, the timeline is less certain but Porsche has been very vocal about that..

Prices will go up and down but even if you can get an allocation now there is no guarantee production will continue into 2024 when that car would be built..

explicitly references MY2024, and Porsche typically switches to the next calendar year in September, which strongly suggests to me production of the base, S, and likely GTS will continue through September.

the 4.0 flat 6 has emissions certificates through 2026 IIRC

What does this "Weissach RS" badge mean on a GT4?

It’s their test track: https://carbuzz.com/news/weissach-is...tional-package

But what exactly is it doing on a GT4? Isn’t that package reserved for the RS?

dub

Yes. I appreciate the info...but what I was looking for was as the package applies to the GT4.

From your link: "To date, you could only order a Weissach Package for the 911 GT3 RS, GT2 RS, and the 918 Spyder. "

Obviously the GT4RS is included now.....but I haven't seen anything about this on a GT4.

I'm sure either someone grabbed a photo from the wrong set, or the prior owner had a warped sense of humor.

Or, probably less likely, manufacturing error led to the wrong trim piece used.

I think someone messed up the listing and dropped that photo in. Dealership listing has no mention of it.

”used” with 7 miles?

dub

You can see it pretty clear in two other interior photos though....

absame

good point! You got me then!

Looks like someone put the drink holder cover from an RS in the car. It's clearly not an RS.
