FWIW, I suspect that those that took delivery probably will have their engines replaced and driving their cars before my engine is produced. My car was built on Jan. 28th. and sitting in PDI. I am in the back of the line.
No we are Sept/Oct delivery.

My dealer called me yesterday and said my car IS a 2014 had a 2014 VIN and it will be completed as a 2014. There was an update to the Porsche system that now says it should be at the dealer early June. Mine was at V270 on February 14th and has not moved since.

All other cars the dealer has for production are 2015's and he said they were July Delivery. So maybe the Porsche system is like the engine on the GT3 = Defective!!

See the following that dealers received today:

Please be aware that model year 2014 911 GT3 that had not entered production have been swapped to model year 2015 allocations.


Effected MY2014 GT3 will have been cancelled (VX99) in PVMS and a new MY2015 allocation in September or October has been provided.


For specific questions regarding effected vehicles, please contact your Regional Manager.

I will speaking with my dealer today. I will inform him I will not cancel my 2014 yet but will depend on Tim Quunn's next letter to us due this Friday. I told them I want an allocation for a 2015.

The silence by Porsche in treating its best customers is defining!!!!

this in my view proves they are more concerned about soccer mom's selling them station wagons or Porsche do you call them Sport SUV's.

So this drastically reduces the 2014 production numbers. I wonder how many they'll make for 2015? Crazy situation!

The benefit I may have is that I will have my GT3 this summer without ever it having the old engine it in. However the "stigmatism" of all 2014's will be the engine was replaced.

There really is no way of telling what the stigma will be. It could be as you say or it could be the golden child- the limited run that were not replacements. Either way I tend to keep my cars for many years. 10 years from now nobody will care......assuming it hasn't burst into flames!

I'm in the same boat, and I'm thinking it's a really good position - you get a 2014 (more limited than originally planned), delivered with the correct and matching NEW engine. There's really no downside. OH....and you won't have to wait 10 years. NOBODY remembers things that long anymore.
In 6 months, after we've taken delivery.....this will all be a big nothing. Provided the cars don't explode/implode.
When we finally HAVE OUR CARS...think of all time we'll spend driving them instead of posting here....

Wouldn't expect much from Tim Quinn. He's already demonstrated his incompetence. "Effected" vs. "affected" - whatever...

Called my sales manager this am after reading post from Clocked. Below are relevant dates:

Order was locked 02-06-14.
Vehicle scheduled (originally) for production 03-14-14.
Since the fires, production date moved to 04-18-14.

My vehicle status is currently V260. Was told this am that my vehicle does have a VIN. My plan is for ED the week following Le Mans (still not 100% sure that's going to happen). I'm glad I didn't resist the recommendation that my car be scheduled for production in March (with plans to pick up at factory in June) just in case there were any glitches along the way. Who would have guessed...

So turned my GT3 in.
But dealer required me to order some other Porsche, so am configuring a Boxster.
Those of you who got Boxster loaners, any hints on god/bad options?
And got a voucher with a credit of $10.000 towards a 991 Gen 2 GT3
