the car will be available to order now. Here is how Porsche stated it;

"ZUFFENHAUSEN, Germany – Porsche’s Motorsport division has raised performance potential of the 911 GT3 RS in a mid-life facelift for the existing 991-series model, which underpins the German automaker’s extensive GT-based motorsport activities.

Available to order now prior to a public debut at next month’s Geneva motor show, the ’18 model receives an added 20 hp from a lightly modified version of Porsche Motorsport’s race-bred 4.0L 6-cyl. engine, increasing its reserves to 513 hp at 8,250 rpm."

Yet, to my knowledge no dealer in NA has received any allocations. How can you order if no allocations are available. Additionally, most of us believed that the model would be a 2019 but the bulletin states it will be a 2018.

The only possible explanation is the bulletin is directed to only European countries but if that is the case it should have stated that. Porsche needs to be clearer as to when we will have an opportunity to order the car. PCNA owes us that much.

Nick, I am going down today to put in my V70 order demand. This is usually how I do this and it works every time.

Nick

Not sure I understand. Your dealer places an order without an allocation? By doing so, is he indicating you're getting an allocation?

silverrules

They put in your demand order V70 and once they get the allocation they will assign it to your V70. Good luck.

I doubt many dealers follow this practice. I believe they wait for allocations assigned to them with an understanding all of them are spoken for. With GT cars, PAG and PCNA know all the allocations will be filled. There is no need for dealers to demonstrate they have the customers to buy the GT cars.

As we all know, it is smoke and mirrors until the dealer gets the allocation and we get the commission number.

We are inputting v70's and encouraging customers to experiment to make sure they know the options

The 918 VIP's have until 2 March to decide if they want a 3RS. After that, more info will be out for the normal customers.

Nick

You're a highly regarded dealership. If a dealer is getting a limited number of allocation,why would they lead many customers to believe they will get an allocation by inputting V70 information? For an example, if you anticipate 6 RS allocations, why have 20 clients input V70 data? I am not criticizing the practice but trying to understand the logic. In my twisted mind, I think it's a sales technique getting the client into the door and possible sale of other models.

Well to his defense he never said how many he was inputting....."v70's" could mean 2 or 20.....
