Just speculation, but MY19 .2 GT3 will have new filter and slightly revised pricing. Cutover is just later than normal due to no need for the 6c compliance until after Sept. Every single car VW, Audi and Porsche produces needs the compliant filtration so been well planned for.

Not that I am aware of.
It is going to be crazy because I would imagine that it would operate similar to those on diesels, so works off of the computer and sensors to let it know when to go into regen to burn off the materials from the particulate filter, definitely going to add weight and might be a nightmare for those that use aftermarket exhausts. The turbo engine route sounds so much better now.

25hp gain
with particulate filter...
i much rather just turbo or hybrid.

You know, I'm just going to assume that the info about the cars comes out right before the Geneva car show in March.

Maybe, but I'm guessing it will be an active system, if so then the ecu would require a tune to clear any cel's and compensate for the missing filter. These particulate filters have to clean themselves somehow to last, on diesels they go into regen and the filter heats up tp 1500 degrees +-(through the computer and the fuel delivery) to burn the soot/particles off of the filter, so if this is the case it would all be done through the computer/sensors. So by removing the filter and then re-tuning, warranty issues come into play. This could be a real mess. Maybe they will go with a passive system requiring the particulate filter to be cleaned at oil change cycles at the dealership.
I am wondering why they couldn't add a second set of Cat's instead to meet emission requirements.
Thanks VW

Hello fellow Rennlisters,
just my little contribution to try and get back on topic ...
My Porsche Center here in Switzerland tells me the following:
Allocation they got for GT3 RS MK1: 33
Allocation they have received from AMAG for GT3 RS MK2: 6 (six)
Allocation they got confirmed for GT2 RS : 8 plus potentially another 2 if production will be extended.
Just a few data points for your evaluation.
Cheers

Well based on those allocation numbers I may be stuck with my “salmon”.

Whatever the number of US cars made the first time around and how hard it was to get an allocation I know I was #5 on my dealers list for a good year and a half before I got my car and it was the last one they got . I'm not sure how many others were on the waiting list behind me when I got it , but the sales manager just told me he has 13 on the list for the .2 RS . Seems like more guys will come up short this time than last time .

Bullseye. As a co-Viper owner, I certainly hope you get the Porsche you want. In as much as we all like the Porsche model we want to acquire, the downside of this is just as many others have stated, the demand will not outstrip the supply. Thus, buying the Porsches you want with a particular dealer establishes that "relationship." Why of course because you are a returning customer.
