2012 Audi R8 the cheapest one in the country.

Both were fixed and have years of warrant left but they took a resale hit.

AP Interview: 04/23/2013
AP Interview 04/23/2013:
Q: Is there still a connection between the GT3 cars and the race cars?
A: This is a unique point in Porsche, because it is really the same people taking care of the street legal cars and the race cars. We never develop the GT3 street car without the Cup car or RSR in mind, and visa versa. It is one big development project with different branches I would say.
You could consider them the special cars —the GTX cars. These are the cars developed by motorsport and not by the “normal” development centre that we have in Weissach.
Q: What was the challenge for this new 991-gen GT3?
A: This was the absolute biggest GTX project we ever did. Absoluately. New drivetrain including a complete new engine family—it’s not a 991 engine with a hotter cam. We just use the crank case. Everything else is new stuff. I dare say, the distance, the gap is wider now between GT3 and Carrera. There are 700 new parts in that new [GT3] car.
Q: Here’s the question you’re getting a lot: Why PDK only and no manual transmission?
A: The PDK that is so discussed so much—‘Why! How can you do this! Holy Manual and skip it overboard’—I say it’s a shut up and drive.
It’s a crucial period now, people complain, forming strong opinions about something they can’t judge because they didn’t have any opportunity to drive it and judge it realistically. But that will pass as soon as the first journalists come back with their feedback—and I know exactly what this feedback is going to be like.
I experience it too often. With every new RS: ‘Oh no! This colour scheme; Oh no! These decals; How can they do this; Blah blah bloop.’ And everybody bought it nevertheless and is happy.

Here's the worst part of the message I got from Porsche:
"We will be providing you with additional information within the next three weeks."
Sure, why not - what's another few weeks.
Of course, looking on the bright side, that may be a deadline they can actually keep.

Hopefully the next communication will include the date your dealer will be installing your new motor.

In other words, it could be sooner or it could be later.
