Thanks again CamsPorsche and Loess. Do you happen to have the Touring builds split out in a separate like you did on the previous update?

No, I haven't completed inputting in all of the MSRP's for each car....still at least 100 cars to enter.

Working on it now...coincidentally an acquaintance of mine mentioned his Touring spec GBM car was just produced...yup found it!

Thanks again for putting this all together Cam and Loess. My biggest interest is actually the general production numbers, it seems like PAG is rushing to make as many GT3s as possible as we speak so the numbers will prove or dispel that.

I don't see that at all...the monthly production has been reducing each month since September. Automobile Magazine just published this interesting article in which they state 992 production will be next fall if October 2018 is when North America will begin to see Carrera and Carrera S models (deliveries expected Feb 2019):

Consider that the factory will have its summer shutdown and re-tooling required. I think GT3 production will be lower than previous generations.

I wonder what was the cause/s for the drop in production from Nov to Dec and Dec to Jan? Was it them beginning to build GT2RSs for Europe?

CamsPorsche

Might be that they are simply producing more ROW GT3's than cars destined for North America. My buddy in Dubai said he's seen more appear in recent weeks from the factory so there's a real possibility that indeed ROW demand is strong. Loess predicts that GT2RS production will begin February/March so that will take some capacity away from the GT3...

Let's see what the number is like for February.

Is this for all 911s? Or just GT3's?

Until the field is filled in, I imagine it is using the value $0.00 to average in with the rest

Good point, I keep forgetting that Porsche doesn't just build GT3 cars for North America. haha At the pace of things, looks like we'll end up around 3,000 cars in the US if they really do stop production at 12/31/18.

Uhhhh! September allocation with GBM as #1 choice. The Porsche gods kick me in the nuts again.

One possibility is the end-of-year CAFE (corporate Average Fuel Economy) calculation. They can build many more gas guzzling GT3 models IF they have sold enough econo-boxes so that the fleet average fuel numbers adhere to the CAFE limits.
