Exclamation GT4 allocations are out, RS allocations up next!

Those stealerships and speculators/flippers asking for $100k+ MSRP better sell those allocations/cars FAST because more RS allocations are coming soon.

Dont worry plenty of stupid people with f-u money to burn that $100k over. They will not be discounting these any time soon.

Yup, especially since Porsche is a capitalist profit maximizing company. They know what is selling and they need $$$ for their parent company's little problem.

Yeah, at least it's a good thing that I have to work for every dollar that I have. I'm feeling good about getting an RS allocation at MSRP...either a .1RS or a .2RS. I know PAG/VW want my US dollars.

Definitely another round of gt4 allocations out last few days. I don't think there's any correlation, but I'd be willing to bet more RS allocations will come also.

981 Cayman/Cayman S sales down and GT4s selling like hot cakes....solution = shift production from Cayman to GT4. 991s sales down and GT3s & RSs selling like hot cakes...solution = shift production from 991s to GT3s & RSs.

Or wait, maybe the RS engine, front fenders, and roof contain unobtainium so they can't build anymore...

They are struggling with seats, but hopefully that wouldn't stop it. Just got an allocation for a GT4, would trade the GT3 and transfer the GT4 allocation and get the RS...

I know for a fact that several dealers are getting more GT4 allocations; haven't heard anything on RS, but i agree; it's coming. Why would they let dealers make all that profit due to demand and limited supply? they have an obligation to shareholders to make more.

Yup, I'd be pissed if I was a stakeholder PAG/VW. Btw, why are they limiting LWB seats for GT4s and Spyders recently? They are basically done building GT3s so to me that's a tell that they are reserving thoseLWB seats for more upcoming RS allocations. Just saying...

GT4 has a better margin % than the RS - if I'm a VW shareholder, I don't care what they do as it is meaningless even pre the current problems. I would rather them expand the Macan production line to produce another 50,000 units...

If you have a source on this, I'd like to read/know more. Not doubting, just interested.
