So it sounds like most north american dealers are getting “2-3”…. for a one year run will there be at least two issues of allcoations?

Where did you get that information from? That seems really low. I'd expect at least the same as the number of gt4rs over one year, and isn't that well over 1500?

Just anecdotal from what I’ve read here (and local dealers near me) for the first round. Aren’t there almost 200 dealers?

That seems too low and short.

Someone recently posted that 1300 GT4RSs have been built/delivered for the US..less than a full MY in.

Osnabrucke is expanding 718 production to relieve capacity issues at Zuff.

PAG has come on record and stated current ICE 718 will be produced for “about” 2 years after EV follow-on release.

Not numbered, I’m thinking 2000+ for the US market.

All just a guess and doubtful we’ll hear anything more specific out of PAG. Like we saw with the GT4/Spyder they’ll stop with very little notice.

Order demand is in. I received an email with “congratulations and thanks for your order” email from Porsche. Got excited till my SA told me I don’t have an actual order/allocation yet …

Haven’t seen anywhere that suggests production count, my dealer told me orders for 718s are done this is the last run?

I have driven plenty PDK. I have a paddle race car, prefer manual for the street. But different strokes for different folks!

I am mr manual, but there’s very few cars I’ve enjoyed more ripping through the countryside more than my 15 458 Spider … I expect a similar experience from the SRS.

A car is about the entire experience, not just a gearbox.

No argument except to add, that with a manual transmission it would be epic!

So put it in manual mode and stomp on the dead pedal when you pull the paddle.
