Has Porsche designated different MYs for different countries in the past? Nissan called the 2008 GTR a 2009 for the U.S.-market which is why U.S. GTRs are always a MY ahead of ROW.

keep in mind, the factory usually closes in august for a month, in the US I believe you can only call a car one model year for 18 mos,

lots a speculation on numbers, if you knew how many carbon roofs were ordered from supplier, you could determine how many cars are going to be built, i believe there will be more than usual to fulfill 918 buyers and the rest

Rumor is 500-600 RS for US only, Isn't that in line with 7.2rs production? Guessing 1200-1500 total world wide production. Sounds like if you want one you will get one?
I don't care to much if it is MY2015 or 2016.

you think 600 cars for the US with a production which begins in April and ends in July (the Porsche factory is closed the month of August), it has been roughly the same number of manufacturing more than a year or more 991 GT3 (600 us 600 so for other countries or more ...) 1200 cars in a manufacturing short time ... I think rather to 600 cars worldwide ... No, it seems more logical to me as making between 4 and 5 months) in any event there longer geneva is the soon

This is the word from PCNA. Heard that US got confirmation on 500rs but requested another 100? Maybe someone can chime in that has more up to date numbers?

i also been told by PCNA that new Targa GTS is going to be a 2016 model.

it is going to be somewhat limited in production numbers too.

I heard 600 RS. I thought 200 more were requested; I could be mistaken or the info is bad. Heard Porsche's response was good, just not the requested amount. Heard this about two months ago right after a big Porsche dealer event in Vegas.

This is just my guess, but I think 600rs for the US market should cover demand? I mean, it's still a pretty niche car! 800 doesn't sound likely? But would be nice to go to the dealer and get 20k of sticker instead of the other way around!!! 😃😃😃😃 dreaming!!!

Could be, but not sure: For the 991 GT3, the official info from Porsche came out the evening before the Geneva press day ...
