Correct. Actually its 2,318 out of 8980 so roughly 26% of all 911's made for North America in 2018 were GT3's. Surprising hey? RyanTTs stats in the GT3 section confirm this as well.

 

 

CamsPorsche sorry, I'm confused? Porsche publishes USA 911 (all variations) sales for calendar years of '17 and '18 at 8,970 and 9,647 respectively. This represents an increase of 7.5%. Your numbers are 11,447 and 8,980 respectively that equates to a huge 21.6% decline in sales year over year. I'm sure the way you and Porsche are calculating the numbers would vary somewhat but the numbers are so far off that you appear to be comparing apples and oranges. Care to elaborate?

 

I'll take a look on Thursday and I see what you are saying as you are using the press release data correct? I pulled those same numbers from their release:


However, I'm going off build sheets so I'll go through all of the models again to see if I somehow included 2016 data into the 2017's or not. Their 2018 number is 667 more cars then what I have...hmmm.

 

Yup, that's what I was looking at. The delta between your totals and theirs is just to great to be accounted for by "rounding"??

 

LOL they made more GT3s in 2018 than they did any other model in any other year for the.2 ...and yet the dealers and flippers are out here saying its a rare collectors item and warrants a ADM. Madness

 

The downward trends in these numbers say the standard 911 models are dying a slow death.

The only 911 cars Porsche is selling with an upward trend are those with a "GT" included somewhere in their name. And I wonder how long that will last?

 

 

Yup, everyone wants the latest and shiniest toy, thus out with the old and in the new.

Drive safe,

I'm not sure that's the answer. At least for Porsche North America.

Because the downward sales trend of the standard 911's (PNA & non GT cars) began a number of years ago. It could be, therefore, that the problem is more systemic than a simple 992 facelift can solve. What's the problem? Could it be that, today, 99x cars appear to all look alike to the general public? And the general public is unwilling to pay lots of dollars to join a parade of cars that look, essentially, the same? We'll see, I guess.

Footnote: I love mine.

 

991 gt cars will be built simultaneously with the 992 as I understand it for a few months, perhaps til the end of year as before.

 

Any updates on the number of GT2 RS?

 

I feel badly asking but I would love to see an update on this as well. Interested to see what 991.2 builds are still happening. My Canadian Targa GTS should go into production in a few weeks (frustratingly my dealer won’t give me the actual dates).

 

This info IS AVAILABLE to your sales guy. He can print out the info and give it to you.

 

I got a call today from my Porsche dealership. They need to move some cars. They have a rarely used 2019 Porsche 911 GTS for $122K. It's PDK and Guards Red. I told him to find my a 2019 Porsche GT3 Touring for a fair price.
