Default Have they stopped making Tourings?
i read on another thread that no more touring allocations are available. Is this true? Can someone confirm? A buddy of mine has an allocation and was considering a touring but I mentioned it might not be possible to get one.

appreciate the insight.

I have not heard that. Certainly there are a lot of locked touring allocations from now through November or December (mine is November and locked due to PTS).

I don't think so.

Touring is just an option on the GT3, it’s not a separate allocation like for an RS. Haven’t seen any mention of this option becoming no longer available.

I have a October lock, nov build allocation (that I’m selling) and my sales agent confirms it can be PDK, manual, or touring.

I am curious to find out what percentage of GT3s are TOURING models.... my Salesman tried to talking me into the winged GT3 said no one would want a GT car without the wing... and mine is the only touring of the 4 allocations they will receive .. mine Is the second but they have all been configured..... I am guessing it will be about 20% of GT3s.total swag but I guess there will be info available after production is finished....

I asked my sales guy and he said only a couple of people picked the Touring option, most people (75%+) got the regular GT3 with the wing. 20% Tourings might be in the ballpark.

My store has seen:

Black wing
Carmine wing
Carmine touring
Miami wing
Pts wing
Black touring
Tbd (customer waffling)

And we have sold another couple GT3's with wings. To me it seems like 75% of the manual transmission cars are Tourings.

A lot of cars were dealer/ flipper spec and 60% of those (for sale nationwide at least) have been white, chalk, Black).

So you're saying the majority of winged GT3s are PDKs? That is very interesting.

Porshce stopped making everything to update the factory. Might be that they have said they don't want to deal with orders till the factory is complete, but if they're still making GT3's that are not spec-locked then they're still making GT3T's.

GT3 production is done, and therefore so is the optional Touring package. See sticky at top of the page for US production details.
