Porsche marketing department seems to have its homework as poll showing what they expected.

I agree the resale will be easier (not discussing values) as a wingless GT3 will appeal to a wider range of second hand buyers..

PDK + Wing, this is a GT3 !
Touring is appealing, but too close to a Carrera, and the R is the R and would remain the R, even if the new GT3 engine is better.
PDK because it s a race track focused car, it implies E-diff and the box is so fast !

I voted wing/manual because that's what I'm getting but my order locked before the Touring option was available. I'm not losing any sleep over it but I might've gone Touring if I'd had the choice. I like them both and each has pros and cons for me so it would've been a really tough decision. I'm almost relieved I didn't have to choose. Because I probably would've spec'd touring then gotten a severe case of wing-envy upon delivery.

Oldmxnut, what are you going for? I'm definitely manual, 90% wing but torn as touring really neat. I have till late Nov to stop mucking around, 18 18 Jan build, March delivery Perth

PDK is perfection
The wing is who the GT3 is
Paint to sample is the icing on the cake

Interesting results. Shows how skewed the Rennlist population is. So far, the local dealer has had zero inquiries, zero interest, and zero orders for the touring version.

Im going touring. Few reasons but primarily was an original R candidate before it was all the rage but missed out as not VIP enough, so not a bad consolidation prize. Im Dec build, Feb/Mar delivery ?

Going all Black but with the silver wheels and accents. Not going to put the R stripes on.


EDIT** Flipped to a Chalk with Black accents..

2nd EDIT **.. Flipped back again... stuffed if I know. Keep changing my mind ! . Spend half my time complaining not enough choice, then when there is, spend the other half not being able to make a choice. Lots to be said about buying secondhand as either accepting as is or not !!!!

3rd EDIT** double flipped with a 720 twist and ended up with GT silver. !

So partially to bump this thread and get a few more voters out of interest.

But a question to ponder... if total GT3 numbers are circa 3000 then 20% touring would make it rarer then the R ?

I just speced mine wing manual. My inner 12 year old like wings. To me without the wing it's just another 911.

Not sure if the 3000 number is right, but need to subtract the early builds from the total.

Yep -- Wing and PDK votes include those who were early and didn't have the Touring option. Not that it matters much -- I'm not building my car for others.

If total GT car capacity is around 40/day and there are roughly 225 working days in Germany, that's 9000 GT cars per year. Subtract out GT2RS production and GT3RS production and lets say its 5000-6000 per year. So far we know there's production thru 2018 so that's somewhere around 8000-12000 GT3s worldwide (if you include 2017 production).

Am i missing something?

PDK with wing.
I have a 15 GTS with PDK and just love the sound of the transmission doing instant shifts at RPM. With PDKS and the new 4.0 going to 9K the car will be amazing. If Porsche did a PDK Touring I would think about it, but doesn't seem like a deal; imagine what Suncoast will want for the rear lid with wing!
My sales rep says my car goes to build in November, 18.

Oldmxnut

You might be closer to the number actually, for some reason I had a 3000 world wide build number of GT3's from somewhere. If thats the case, not so rare after all

I would do touring but i know i would miss taking pictures like these
