I don't think the Chinese market adore GT cars like us in NA. Buyers there will more likely buy an F car or a McLaren because even if they get a GT car not many people will really be able to tell what it is and how expensive it is.

Are they not building RSs in the EU anymore?

Who wants to listen to the OP? We need folks to please continue spreading how 991 GT2RSes GT3 GT3T GT3RSes are limited and deserve ADM and will make money in time and pay for our retirement etc etc.

We should keep this fluff going, so guys with cars can continue flipping their 1-of-5000-something and make money. So boneheads can continue publishing junk on the internet disguised as investment advice and market commentary like they are equity analysts.

Or we can wake up smell the coffee and realize that PAG has turned the GT line into volume product. This is going the way of AMG which now churns out 15k+ cars annually in all shapes. Do the math--we're not that far off when one adds up all the products to which AP's department lends its name.

We are at this weird point where a run of 1,948 is being advertised as "limited". Look back in automotive history, when has a 2,000 run of anything ever been deemed scarce?

Still wanna talk about widening market appeal / developing market absorption?

if you want a rare car in 2018 buy a base carrera

I was a bit shocked when he told me they got 15 3RS and 12 2RS. I thought 2RS was far more limited, given people are willing to pay 100-180K above. Understood the 2RS cycle is twice longer, but the last one was Mezger, stick and 500 units WW a true limited production. Not sure PAG will announce 992 GT2RS 7 years later. I guess it can be much earlier. Why not "meet the demands of our customers"?

I don't fully understand the black box that spelled out the 2700 magic number of .2 3RS. Believe it has something to do with "10-15 GT cars a day max capacity". Unless you are a PAG production manager, how do you know they can't make major improvement in efficiency? The number does not seem to match the anecdotal but real world evidence of dealership allocation. Does your AD receive 1/2 to 1/3 fewer 3RS of Gen2 vs. Gen1?

It's surprising there is this much speculation and discussion on the quantity of a GT car build. This seems like an easy number to quantify to the unit, unless part of the GT allure is the practice of obfuscating numbers.

That is it! The GT cars are not rare collectibles, that's it, they are track cars to track when you have time for that hobby.......

Porsche is in the business of making money and they see a golden opportunity and are cranking out GT cars while the economy is hot and especially as baby boomers are saying why not spend it on something I deserve for working hard before I die or to do something fun with what money they inherited.........

For this section of market (not limited to any brand or class of goods), exclusivity has always been a major part of buyer decision and marketing strategy. Which part is surprising? Nothing to do with how you plan to use the car

Let's be realistic guys.

992 GT cars are N/A as well. Probably better engine. Design wise... controversial. Anyways, too many 991 GT cars and it ain't last of NA 991. I wouldn't bother bubble wraping 991 GT cars. Look at what happened to all those bubble wrapped low mileage 991.1 RS lol.

This is a "value" thread disguised as production numbers.
Who cares if there is 5,000 GT cars or 50,000
Cars. Drive the damn thing

disden

agree, there are likely more GT3s and RSs built then other flavors by far. These are not rare cars, drive them and enjoy them.

Any discussion on PTS, WP, 992 engine is a value thread in disguise. You sir are so politically correct and above all.

Also Manual versus PDK for those that think their Touring or manual GT3 will be appreciating to the level of the anniversary gold 993 Turbo that sold for charity this past weekend at Sotheby's......for over 3 million$...........
