Thanks for the information

 

I can confirm that. I was lucky enough to recently see, albeit briefly, a future Porsche production schedule. It showed the GT3 RS entering production in March and finishing in November. It also showed a bunch of other models including a new 991 T (as I have reported before) and new 221 kw diesel for the Macan S facelift, etc. it was very interesting but that's all I can share at the moment.

 

Whaou! short production for the RS... Its seems limited edition like the 4.0 997
Thanks for the information Chris

 

Although I should add that I was cautioned on the production start for the GT3 RS might be 1-2 months later depending on a couple of issues related to the drive train.

 

Hmm, what are you smoking?

Will production be limited?
"Production is not limited, but we have certain limitations in the daily outcome of how many cars we can build. Although we are open to it we cannot build 10,000, this car it will always be limited by the production capacity we have. We have about 4,000 or the last one and we are curious to see if that repeats, we are ready for that.

Love it when you guys are throwing out ridiculous numbers.

Best one was whoever it was here that said 9000 GT3RS If it was that much than the price will not stay that firm even now. Serious, 9000 GT3RS would be more than the Turbo/Turbo S they made over the same period. For 2016, Porsche made 32,409 911s TOTAL.

There is about 220-ish working days a year at the factory, and they do around 15-20 GT cars a day. The .1 GT3 was in production for about 18 months, rough calculations takes it to around 5000 cars total, but they did lose some time during the recall so ~4000 seems about right. The .1 GT3RS was in production for roughly the same time frame but towards the end it has to share the line with the 911R and so ~5000 GT3RS made.

For the .2 GT3, right now it is the only GT car on the line, but towards the end of the year it will need to share the line with the GT2RS.

 

What do you mean about the drive train issues?

 

He means 4.2 with new 8 speed PDK.

 

ok thanks

 

word.

 

8 speed pdk? really?..was that developed for the turbo cars and now adapted to the NA gt line? guess that will help keep the car in the high rev range where it makes more power.. but is that needed?

i'm still curious if porsche will concede and offer the manual RS.. now THAT would take some marketing double speak and backtracking to explain.

thanks for the info.

 

Really? I totally missed this if true.

 

I forgot what 911 t is. Can you please share?

 

I believe Chris is referring to the touring version.

 

Didn't the MagicBall predict a Sept debut at Frankfurt for the .2 RS?

 

Does anyone know if the 991 T may be a separate model, or just the option package on the GT3?
