In Canada they are gone and no longer on the web site/ configurator. Not sure about other countries but I suspect that very few remain available. Maybe someone will back out of an order.

Production is finished and no longer possible to order. I managed to get the last one from Porsche UK and there is definitely none left here. There is a few left in showrooms across Europe. Interestingly there is a few low mileage used ones and they are going for same price as new. In actual fact I came across a low option 2013 model a couple of weeks ago and it sold for same price as I got mine which was of course new - crazy ha!

Not entirely the case bud, couple have just hit OPC's that were given to GT3 owners. My mate just bought one of them.

As an aside, do you live near Hampstead? Seen a Geiser 50th a few times as i leave for work.

When I first talked to the dealer about the 911 50 in June 2013, he told me that there are only four allocations in switzerland and that it will be difficult to get one. When I picked up the car in november, he told me that there where 18 cars sold ant that there is none left.

Not like I'm surprised: There are at least four cars available in various Porsche Centers across the country and its still in the configurator. After one year on the market.

They are still being delivered but as of 4 weeks ago when i approached various OPCs there were no more to be sold by Porsche GB but one OPC managed to find me one. It could well be that Porsche has been drip feeding them to the market which is a well known method for keeping up exclusivity/desirability but apparently now all you see now is deliveries and no more sales.

Actually I am not far from Hampstead (well next to Lord's) but that would not have been me as I have not taken delivery yet.

You can configure but no OPC is going to take the order. Initially US was allocated something like 300 but in the end 599 were delivered so one has to assume that there is a drip feed policy in order to maintain the exclusivity.

I don't think his numbers are accurate, I know Geneva got 6, 4 sold and as of a week ago they had 2 left, a black & a Graphite. So if Geneva took 6, the whole country would have taken at least 40-50 cars no?

Lausanne got 4 initially and a 5th allocation offered in march. One geyser was ordered for the show room under Xmas tree but sold four hours later way before Xmas...
I thought also about 40 for the whole country. Except mine, I never met another one on the road.

I'm not sure about this drip policy. I received mine in November and I was the first in Canada. I was told Canada would get 50 and US (10X population of Canada) would be getting 600. I think your source was not so reliable. I would be surprised if Switzerland was allotted 50 based on population but then again Switzerland might be a more wealthy country than Canada.....hmmmmmm.........those Swiss bankers are a sneaky group. I suspect my Rolex paid for a few as well.

My dealers numbers are noting but fiction, I assume. 40 to 50 for Switzerland sound adequate to me. I'm still waiting to see another one on the road! ;-))
