Spoke to my dealer today about a GT3 and he wouldn't take a deposit on it. It's too late. He's got a long list of deposits already. More than they will get cars. This is UK.

That car is is almost totally camouflaged and ready to launch! I know its an outside chance but it wouldn't shock me to hear its going to be launched at LA.

I reckon slightly higher. Plus a bit more inclined. The front, which I didn't like to start with, is growing on me. That is always the way!!

^Yeah, I noticed that about the wing too. Plus it has the .1 doors with .1 door handle. Weird test car combining the front of .2 and rest of .1??

I think it looks better in black because those front hood scoop things are in black too. I think with a lighter colour those would become more prominent.

Getting back to the number of cars, the last time anyone spoke about this AP stated that their shop could only handle 2500 GT cars per year. There has been no additional disclosure but I would not be surprised if that capacity has been increased. PAG is making too much money to turn those extra $$$ away. I would argue, however, that they will be careful in the production numbers. If they go haywire, these cars will begin to lose some of their
"exotic" stature and prices will definitely soften. I would not expect PAG to produce, no where near, as many as the market demands. My theory could go down the drain if VAG requires ramping up production as much as possible to cover dieselgate liabilities. I think that would be nearsighted but a dollar is a dollar. I don't think it would bode well for them down the line.

This argument is not new in the industry remember that just recently Ferrari canned Luca di Montezemolo when he refused to amp up production as Fiat required.

Agree Macca. I am not a fan of those dull black scoop add-ons. Why not just make the opening the right size?? I am sure someone will have a cool CF piece to replace it with

Also hate those scoop add-ons, although on my .2 GT3, I'd rather just remove the scoop and get a larger grill piece to cover the entire opening, ala 991.1 GT3.

UK will be one more time the crazy mark-up place. No doubt.
