I have no idea why on both the 991 GT3/RS people keep on assuming these cars have engine issues.
Yes- I have read all the threads but the only confirmed engine issues were back in 2014. I know there have been a couple engines here and there but where is the smoking gun
My 2014 has been just as worthy as any of my other Porsches. Other than a thermostat replacement there have been no other issues

I don't know the extent of the engine issue, it may be very limited and may not be the cause for the delays. I do know of a recent 2015 engine seizure. This was the second issue for the owner, he had a 2014 that he was advised to stopped driving. He asked for and was granted a buy back on the 2014 and promptly ordered a 2015. After following the Porsche break-in procedures he had the engine seizure on his 2015. Porsche has approved a new engine, but it is not a quick fix.

right AP sentences and PAG logistic excuses calling for a book
i do not think is the engine design but considering a lot of
annoying events related to the assembly they have to review the entire production process
and bingo the quality check failed for sure

LWB OR ENGINE ISSUES.
i said it before 991. it took germans 50 years to get air cooled cars more or less right.... so by 2050 or so... it will be just perfect.
we must be patient.

Just spoke to my dealer and he says that although my car is still at "V200" (originally a December production), production will be delayed owing to a problem in sourcing/producing the LWB. Apparently, this problem with the seats affects the production of GT4's as well as the Spyders and not just limited to GT3's and RS's. The dealer could not advise the extent of the delay.
Anyone else with a similar story or just unlucky me!!

I was at the dealer yesterday looking for a new toy and I was told the issue for the RS is the roof. Because the production of these specialized cars require massive supply coordination with various suppliers, one part can delay everything. First was the buckets and now the roof. Thats what I was told.

Is the production of your car still delayed due to the buckets? I was recently allocated a GT3 and my sales rep thought the LWBs would delay my order by 11 weeks (as that is how much his previous customers was delayed), but found out they only added a 1 day delay to my cars production and will be delivering in December
