my guess is lower with likely only one model year for .2 non RS. My guess is about 3500 winged non RS. But it’s a guess.

We already have 1,000+ since Dec....we'll have 2,200-2,500 GT3/Tourings in the US alone.

Talk is Porsche is diverting line capacity to RS and only builds 10-12 GT cars a day total. So subtracting touring and RS is where I landed on the guess. It’s just a guess but I doubt we’ll see 5000 .2 winged non RSs.

Even if we end up with 2200-2500 Gt3s at end of production for USA that’s still a very low number .

I'm guessing something in between 5000~6000 for GT3 Winged and Touring combined. Just like how .1 GT3 was.

Probably same 5000~6000 for .2 RS just like how .1 RS was.

Ascend - .1 had 3 model years, all reports are indicating .2 GT3 non RS will only be MY2018 so the production numbers are likely going to be lower than .1

Agree ^^^. Everyone I've talked to has said significantly fewer .2s than .1s, which makes sense given one production year.

Although we can't track individual builds any more, based on the lowest vin I've seen 174068 and the highest vin 175930, there would be in the order of 1860 cars for North America. If anyone has seen a higher vin let us know.

When you say valid do you mean that they are correctly formatted for possible use or do you know that they have been assigned to actual cars?

WP0AC2A96JS174066 and WP0AC2A98JS175932 are valid vin numbers as well but have cars been built with those? I don't know.

They have been assigned to actual cars. They exist in the PCNA database. VINS are not added to the database until they have been assigned to an actual chassis.

This is different than the NHTSA part 565 submittal that includes a range of possible VINS that might be used by the manufacturer.

So for example this VIN exists in the NHTSA records and shows as a valid VIN - but it does not exist in the PAG database.

WP0AC2A9XJS174040

So here is some inside baseball (football for the EU?) knowledge. Scraper sites like thecarvin.com and all the other useless VIN scraper (decoder) sites grab all the registered NHTSA VINs in order to generate search results. But many of the cars don't actually exist for the VINs so they route you to a listing of a similar vehicle. If the VIN ever does become assigned to a chassis and the VIN gets out there, say in an ad, they will scrape that ad and route you there. Its a cost less waiting game for them. There is a ****z load of garbage out there clogging up the interwebs. If you google the VIN I provided you will see what I mean.

Actually I see you can click on the VIN (which this platform has converted into an ad link) and be taken to some internetbrands ad network trash.
