A number of guys on Pistonheads (UK board) are hearing a production delay is coming. No information as to why.

I am at Rolex 24 in Daytona and have heard that production of the GT3 now somehow involves the motor sports division. In addition it was suggested that the GT America / Cup production was partially responsible for the delay.

Good friend ran into the PCNA South Regional rep, mentioned a buddy (me) has an allocation but no order window. Rep asked what model. When he heard GT3 he just shook his head, wouldn't comment any further.

A production delay is COMING? Or does it affect cars that are due for production currently?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

One specific case is a locked March build rumored to get moved out to May.

Ugh. My car has already been delayed from an early December build to an end of January build...

Am hoping I don't get pushed yet again.

Yeah. I just threw up a little too.

Thank god my car is finished and on the boat on the way over...otherwise I would start drinking even more...and buy a Scuderia.

I have a Jan 31 completion date. Just sent an email to my Sales rep to see if that has changed. Will post what he tells me.

If the delay is true it could also mean that delivered cars will have recalls to contend with.

Ok, who wants my GT3, Im buying a more reliable Ferrari....UGH.

No keep your Gt3 and just drink more if it gets recalled. My "pioneer" 991's first (of several ) recalls resulted in it being at dealer for two weeks straight. Long story. But I am still a porsche fan, car made up for it once I got the car back. I had a loaner panamera in the mean time.

Maybe, or not....

reidry's post suggests that GT America / Cup production may be partially responsible for the delay. It may simply be a production capacity issue. At this point it's all pure speculation.

I don't know if it is at all comforting, but before my car was built in December, there were widespread rumors of production delays ranging up to a couple of months. My car was actually delivered 11 days earlier than my original tracking schedule predicted.

I ordered my car Nov. 11 and looks like it will be delivered Mid March. Four months is great I think and these rumors were there all along. Porsche make a lot of different cars and they juggle things around like Mike mentioned. As it appears my car will be delivered couple weeks early. Don't worry guys.

I incurred a 5 week delay when I changed my color. This was over a month before the freeze date.

Just heard back from my Sales rep. My car is still showing Jan. 31st completion date. No delays as of yet.
