Did you check the possibility of a European Delivery to have the car registered - all European delivery cars get a plate/registration when driven around - I would call Porsche and the Emmissions Control Authority - might be a possibility that this can work for you....

"Afew years ago, manufacturers decided to fit their cars with smaller turbocharged engines instead of larger naturally aspirated units. This trend was named downsizing, and it was applied to all areas of automotive development.
Smaller engines brought less weight than traditional units, even with the added components for a turbocharger, while fuel economy was improved in theory.
Unfortunately, not all downsized engines were more efficient than their naturally aspirated counterparts. Sure, horsepower was increased, and torque has reached figures that were unattainable for the naturally aspirated units they replaced.
However, fuel economy was only improved for those that drove in an economical manner for each of their trips, and even that proved to be less efficient than some naturally aspirated gasoline engines.
Recently, a study has shown that downsized engines struggle to match real world economy and emissions figures of naturally aspirated units with a bigger capacity."
turbo engine helps manufacters offering more hp without the same investment needed by a naturally aspirated car (less car overall weight, more rpm, more precision in mechanical parts, more exotic metallurgy, etc. )
which translates turbo is just more brand profit that's it

Hello,
I got a call from my SA today informing me that no GT3 will be registred in Germany after 1 sep 2018 due to emission regulations.
I know this is the US forum but wondered if someone could help with the following issue:
I am a German expat living in the UAE. I am planing to buy the car locally and after a few years when I return to Germany, I would like to take my GT3 with me.
As per my SA, I will not be able to register it which does not make sense to me.
Anyone knows how to solve this issue? Or direct me to the right people to contact?
Thank you.
