If everyone could wait, yes. However they have learned how to release allocations to create maximum demand. The .1 RS is a perfect example, by holding back allocations, they created a permanent demand frenzy that carries over to this day, despite a doubling of allocations in the last year of production. Luxury goods marketing is a science- scarcity of demand drives exclusivity. How you create scarcity is the art.

Unfortunately we are all pawns in this game.

Since the Magnesium wheels are available from 2019/02 one could conclude that the model will exist next year too.


Edit: Maybe I'm wrong: Got this from LP997@rennteam.com: "The magnesium wheels are sold like an equipment ( I'm going with weissach pack ) and the wheels ( if I want ) are sold later."

It's a repost of mine from another thread. I'm happy to update it if any of the assumptions have changed.

Where is the 1600 RS number from? Is this for NA? The biggest .1 3RS month for NA was 162 cars in Sept. 2015. June 2015 was around 40 cars.

I believe that GT production is at least 25 per day and could be even closer to 30 when the 2RS, 3RS, and GT3's are all going to be in production. I've seen more than 20 GT3's in one day just for NA. I also believe the plant is producing on Saturdays as well (or it does during parts of the year).

What if Porsche decided to only produce GT cars the second half of the year? With the 992 coming they could stop all other 991 production to allow them to crank out GT cars. Of course I don't know if Motorsport could keep up.

Any possibility of this? If so, could be many GT cars to go around.

Remember, english was less common to be taught in most european schools, while these people were studying, than latin or greek.
Good point about generations - agree.

Yes, it's an estimate from Rennlist.

Also, I have heard from two separate dealer sources that there are no December GT3 builds, the latest GT3 builds are all in November 2018. Possibly to ensure in case of unexpected delays that the these MY 2018 cars will be completed by the end of the calendar year.

If someone has good data to suggest otherwise, let me know.

True. But on the other hand, why do English speakers always presume other people speak or have to speak English ?

they shouldn’t assume.

But English is The universal international language for business, medicine, science, and cinema, so that’s probably why.

These guys are business guys and English is the Lingua Franca for business. Every project I worked on in Europe we worked in English.
