I'm just saying that declaring that there will not be 2019 model year cars doesn't necessarily mean they're making any less of them than they always intended. Right?

Right. So generally, half of those built in 2016 would normally have been 2017 model year cars right? And those cars build in November/December weren't delivered to customers until early 2017.

I can confirm the 991.2 GT3 RS will be announced in February. I am getting the first one my dealer gets as they could not allocate me a 991.2 GT3.
I have to spec it in February I was told.
They were not able to tell me the specs yet. Either they don’t know or will not or not allowed to. Delivery June/July.
seems right with a short production cycle with the 992 coming.

i currently have a GT4 as a track car and 991.2C2S Cab as my daily driver. i just can't see myself using the new RS as a daily driver or as a track car. for me it would be a lot of $$$ tied up in a weekend car, but man it would be an epic car.

Not necessarily true. When the Cayman R came out in Apr 11 it was classified a MY12 and that was with regular Caymans still being built as MY11s. Since Euro6 comes in Sept this may just be a way for PAG to continue production for ROW/US, not including EURO, to meet demand and to skirt the regulatory regs. Remember that MY is mainly a US thing and NOT ROW.

I also find it interesting that GT3s are being delivered earlier in many cases than expected. The same happened for the end of the .1 GT3 and .1 RS, both of which had healthy production volumes. If all of this is true, I expect the production ratio of GT:non-GT cars in Stuttgart will be quite high for the entirety of CY2018.

Are you leaping from the term "one model year" to infer only one production year (or less) for those cars?
The 918 was, I believe, labeled one model year (2015) but was produced over 21 months.
Think it can happen again?
Maybe a Porsche head fake goin on. To keep the prices up. They need it, I think.

If you look at my previous posts, I have suggested time and time again that 991.2 GT3 may come to an end at the year of 2018 as evident by news from magazines and also some member's production date of a MY2018 car as late as December 2018.
Well, I just got an email from my dealer that they have officially received word from PCNA today that all MY 2019 GT3 and GT2RS will now be MY2018 because, wait for it..... "MY2019 will not be offered for these models"!
Hate to say I told you so, but go get whatever you can get your hands on right now! I am never selling my GT3! LOL!

The good news is, if this is true, those of us who have summer builds that were possibly going to be MY 2019 cars have just avoided the potential model year price increase.
