Default Lightweight Bucket Supply causing GT3's to be pushed.

e-Mail from my dealer just now. We suspected, At least now we know.


From our rep:

Good morning,

After many questions and further investigation, following is what I discovered.

Due to the lack of availability of the P11 carbon fiber Lightweight Buckets Seats, PAG had to push back 101 December allocation GT3's to January build. PVMS now lists the current estimated completion dates. I will send those dealers with effected vehicles a separate e-mail with commission numbers once received

Wow. At least 101 cars with buckets. Given the discussions around here, I would have thought less. Nice! It's worth the wait!

Porsche must really have one hell of a time keeping track of Production Planning due to all the a la carte optioning.

If mine is pushed back to even past January I'm likely out. Z06 or AMG-GT-S.

NO WAY! Just do what I did, Find a cheap buy back and saddle up. Then just sell or trade. REMEMBER, MONEY IS ONLY SOMETHING YOU NEED IN CASE YOU DON'T DIE TOMORROW!!

The GT3 is the car!

We all have to be patient for the good stuff boys. Some of us waited a yr to get our cars with few months sitting at the port so a month delay here or there is no biggie and I bet they will pull in the schedule later.

Shocked as well! I expected less than 50. I just emailed my dealer to see if my Dec build has been officially moved.

Sorry to hear of people's delays yet again. Just checked with my dealer as I was getting nervous that my car on the line might get delayed - just hit V300 status this morning.

If anyone is in the NE and wants to come check it out when it arrives, you're more than welcome.

Yes, with buckets. Clearly, I was one of the lucky ones - it finished 3 days early.

I received an email yesterday afternoon from my dealer confirming my car finished production (with lightweight buckets) on the scheduled date of Nov. 4th. It's planned to be on a boat next week!

Guess I should count my lucky stars….

Just spoke with Ian at GT# concierge and mine has fixed and will start production within a day or two. I think mine also just made it! I guess i'm lucky!
