So, if an order for a GT3 was not submitted by October 10, then any available spots that Dealerships have essentially will go unfilled?

I wonder how many build spots that would be?

What will be the final MY 2015 numbers? It's an extremely short production run for 2015's.

I've just emailed my SA to ask. Surprisingly, I got a prompt reply to say 'not yet but should be soon'.

My understanding is that once you have a commission number, then your order has been accepted by the Porsche system and will be built. Until you have that, nothing is certain. I have heard that the 10/10 cutoff is not a hard date and that some orders are still going into the system, so I wouldn't freak out just yet.

Many dealers seem to have ordered cars themselves with their allocations and are just dragging their feet on agreeing to allocate and customize them for specific customers until they play the field a bit first. There are some shady communications going on to customers with a few of these, in my opinion.

Did they spit out a commission number right then?

Yeah, I would be on that dealer first thing Monday and planning alternatives right now. I was there when my order went in and the system literally spit back a commission number within a minute or so of the order going in.

It was at the end of the day, so I didn't pressure the dealer. I should know tomorrow and will let you guys know.

I had him put it in as an ED because he didn't have an open allocation. He said he had an allocation coming at the end of the month, but I wanted to get it in and an ED over rides allocations so he said.

What's an ED? .....no ED jokes please😄! I was under the impression that if the dealer didn't have an allocation, he could not finalize your order and get s commission number.

These allocations are said to count as extra, over and above the number that the dealership was usually set to receive. It might be a way a dealer can obtain an additional car. However, ED is limited in availability also, and it sounds like the ED calendar has filled up quickly in recent past.

^What he said.

I guess what I'm saying is that if I really wanted the car, and my preferred dealer did not have an open allocation right now, I would find a dealer that did and finalize the deal now. Not a diss on the preferred dealer--just a sound business decision, since there may or may not be another round of allocations.

Same news here in Dubai.

Sales advisor said that last production month would be December 2014. They are NOT getting any more allocations other than what they already have now in the system which amounts to around 2 more GT3's being ordered if a customer wants one in the next week maximum.

Then those would go as well if they don't get filled up

seems the RS is around the corner now

GT3s are continuing to be produced in 2015 calendar year. At least here in EU.
Information confirmed last week.
