when you make too many special cars, then nothing is special.

you know that in asia, the wealthy dont like to eat $$$ food, eat off the street vendors and die from hep A happily.

Where in Asia? Wealthy Taiwanese don't do that AFAIK.

Coz folks are actually being offered cars in our market...

Right on. There's a limit to how much PAG can push their "Michelin Star" power...

At this moment we're limited to the production capacity available at Zuffenhausen. If they can squeeze out another 400 build slots you know they'll milk that for a $$$ model...

CJ - any word when 1st US allocations will be distributed?

J9277655 03-13-2018 02:23 AM

It is a VIP allocation, but I did receive my V200 status today which I would imagine means that dealer allocations and builds are only moments away. July completion with Sept 7th delivery.

^ put it on lufthansa so i can drive it sooner.

In the past, have allocations to peons been distributed shortly after 918 VIP’S placed their orders? You indicate moments away. I hope you’re right.

Us mere mortals are hoping and praying for the MSRP RS scraps. haha

It's a good question and I dont recall. One thing I did find strange was in the past, when a "limited" / GT car was offered via email to the 918 program, allocations were given immediately thereafter. In this instance, the email notification and the allocation were nearly a month apart.

For whatever it's worth....

If you go by 991.1 RS production, and assume around 200 VIP cars, then June, July and the first part of September production will already be taken up for North America.

A few 918 VIP's received their allocations over the weekend, with the overwhelming majority receiving theirs yesterday. These are real allocations with real commission numbers, not just letters or promises.

Hmm, this sounds like minnows like myself may have a long wait to hear from our dealer.:(

Minnows, peons, pheasants, and poverty buyers please form an allocation line in front of the Porsche firing squad.

SG7 03-13-2018 03:21 PM

I just put a deposit on my allocation today. I'm in the GCC market. I believe my OPC only has 15 allocations and it was really just a case of first come first serve.

Speaking of, I wanted to go for Miami Blue but was advised against it as it clashes with the Weissach package & would be a pain in the case of resale. What colours are you all going for? I'm now tied between Lizard Green & GT Silver Metallic.
