Have to share this ... I filled in an expression of interest today to buy a 2018 991.2 GT3 6 M/T. Whilst this is not an allocation, it is a very well placed position in the queue. I am VERY VERY excited. At the same time, and not having read all these threads, I am wondering ...... is the 991.2 6 MT the LAST N/A GT3???

That's also why they mount lower than the 18ways.

I also prefer the manual adjusting for back and forth. Always need the seat as low as possible.

Most of them are around the area of Stuttgart, one even showed up at the university there and some at Nurburgring. Do dealers already have them in stock?


Nurburgring one WITH MANUAL!

I am almost sure all cars belong to Porsche, look at the number plate. If you can see LB, BB or S on cars early in their life cycle, all Porsche owned.

At least from my knowledge they do final testing with pre production cars or first batch, selected employees have the chance to drive these ones and report back their findings. This happens after official announcement of the car. That is the reason you see these cars parked in public without any camouflage anymore. Mercedes puts a small sticker "Werkswagen" on them and also dealer can have them for a short period of time.

I only can speak for Volkswagen, you have to do a dedicated training before they give you the keys....

BMW, Mercedes all they do the same thing.
