Default 991.2 Release Date?

Some have reported that 991.2 will be announced in March at the Geneva Motor Show or in September at the Frankfurt Show.

So, will we be able to order it soon? I'm curious. Please share if you have any information or guess.

Last year the 2015s were placed on the configurator in mid-late March for builds starting in June.

You would think since the changes will be so dramatic that things might be pushed back...

I doubt they will launch in Geneva, as they are launching the GT4 and GT3RS there, more likely Frankfurt IMO...

I agree. They need to spread the news around!

They need a big release for Frankfurt.

They aren't going to lay it all out in Geneva.

seems more likely but you never know ... although there is no press release suggesting that such may occur in geneva ... which I think is another indication that its not happening there...

Just heard from my dealer, looks like orders will open in October, so figure an August/September launch.


It's going to be a long Spring, Summer and Fall...

I know there's always a tom of discussion, and pros and cons, but the painful thing here is that Hurley Haywood was right - his favorite Porsche is always the next one...

Don't forget, when he said that he worked for the largest Porsche dealer in the solar system!

Weren't a lot of people echoing that sentiment in 1999.
