how many gt3 rs?
#31
997.1gt3RS is a good guidance. If I remember correctly they made about 1900?
991rs is a little more usable but demand might be held back because US market have been able to buy previous generation RS. After 996rs demand was high because human always wants what you can't have.
I think demand -1 will be around 2000 cars. Sales was worse than expected in Asia/China so allocations can be added in the US.
I just hope they make some more RHD for the UK market. Those guys never seem to get enough cars.

Yup, I do like well driven/properly broken in cars. Heck if I had the money when he was selling his properly driven 4.0 I would have bought that car too. And that car would have been tracked just like I plan on tracking the .1RS. Not looking for any creme puffs here.

Sounds about right RS is coming to an end and all allocations are pretty much already spoken for

US has more demand and a stronger currency so they are only going to make more for the U.S.

Edit: Never mind. I see what they mean. It gives you this message and you can then go on and build a car. Doesn't do that in the UK or some other countries so not sure what it means?

Look at the 991gt3 production numbers. That will give you some more info. Porsche estimated demand to be 2000 cars and I think that will be very close.

Not a good situation. I know for a fact that Porsche is not happy about having new cars sitting while there are buyers in line. Nothing can be done about used cars. That's a free market! If anyone is dumb enough to pay $100k over before production is over. Be my guest.

Yup, I'm going to wait since I think we might get a recession in 2016 and want to see how the supply side plays out. If the market is still $100k over for the car by this time next year when all the cars have been sold then I'll have to re-assess till then I'll focus on having fun with what I have. The Cayman S should be done in late Jan and that'll be the first time I'll ever driven a fully build race car.

they thought about building more, but it is not so easy. the tools and the hole production is plant to build round about 2000 units. if there will be 2500 the tolarances are not certain. it will cost too much and also the production line is full with other cars with more profit.
