I have been scrolling through the forums looking for an answer, some people say they have all been spoken for, saw someone say they they might extend production until September 2016... Not sure if anyone has any real clue? I have seen some people suggest that Asia cars are now being re-allocated to the US market. I apologize in advance if this thread is repetitive and I am just beating a dead horse, but I thought I'd just ask

This is an interesting thought as I was at the Range Rover dealership the other week and they had maybe 20 brand new Range Rovers in stock for delivery, last year in LA county dealers were still charging over MSRP for those desperate enough to buy one! The dealer told me dealers in the US are receiving all these cars that Land Rover had intended for China.

I was talking to my P-dealer the other day, he said that it is looking optimistic and that he believes that Porsche will allocate more RS's to some dealers soon. I have a good relationship with this dealer, have bought cars from them for years and received their only 2016 GT3 back in August(pic attached.)

Back in April/May when there were some talk on RL about a possibility of a '16 GT3, which many doubted, I went to my dealer and inquired. They informed me Porsche wanted a $10,000 deposit to show serious interest, and without a doubt a week later my order was picked up and I was given an allocation. Let's see if by some miracle something similar will happen with a RS allocation

That "Porsche wanted a $10,000 deposit" line was B.S., btw. I bought my '16 with a normal $500 deposit.

FWIW, One was just gotten at MSRP here in the Midwest...

Everyone has a different answer/opinion/agenda when it comes to this. My opinion is that no one outside of the production managers at Porsche knows this for certain and they can change if they want. I could see them building 2016 cars in July, August, and September but I'm not sure they will. I believe they are moving their focus to the 991.2 cars. Anyone who says they won't leave money on the table is not thinking that they would have to increase line production to do this. The factory isn't sitting idle when they aren't building RS's. If you can't increase the number of cars your building easily and have to choose between building a 991.2 Turbo S or an RS, which is it going to be? I believe the Turbo S is easier to manage and build and has a greater profit margin.

Many people said they weren't building more GT3's last year but that was a different time and situation. The RS was delayed and the GT3 production time was able to be extended without impacting other production schedules. If anything, I can believe that they will shift some production out of countries that have less demand so there may be more allocations but I don't think these will be new ones.

While I say this, if you want one, have your dealer show Porsche you are a serious buyer not a flipper. It can't hurt to try and I believe Porsche looks at order demands seriously for these cars. It's the people with $500 refundable deposits at 6 dealers that make this hard to gauge. All just my opinion.

What is the latest known production date for an RS? Latest I know of is June 2016.

Mine was first week of May but I dropped back to V170 when I added some CXX stuff.

I see no reason for Porsche to stop production when demand is still there.

Head out and put down a deposit at your dealer and tell him you are serious about buying@ MSRP. Really helps them to figure out demand. Good luck.

Mine is June production, latest I have heard as well.

Are all 4 cars yours? Whats in there?

I'm 7 at a big dealer in the Northeast, I think 4 spots have been allocated so I'm hoping there are 3 more coming from somewhere

I think they will make more. But if someone get on waiting list now it will be too late. There are many people on waiting list already.

My dealer stopped taking orders long time ago. And they have over 20 solid deposits without allocations. They got over 20 allocations till next May production.

mrsullivan

This.
No more .1 RS allocations.
Someone finding one or buying one doesn't mean it's a new allocation. There are many out there already and more coming. But not because they're new allocations. Production ends in June.

Superman32

They said they might get few more. Maybe that is for Canada? Also Porsche China cancelled all the allocations there are around 50. Those may re allocated to NA and Euro

silverrules

Me think no more and the reason is last round had June build. After June we will see MY 17's not 16's. Yes/no?

I got a phone call from my dealer tonight!

Will get mine in July :-P
