Default With the new models up I wonder when the new GTS will show up

Will be interesting when the new GTS comes out. I have heard maybe a couple years, but not sure.

Couple of years sounds about right. The GTS has historically been an end of life model.

Yes, I noticed many models are now gone including the Targa!

I'm guessing the real Turbo should show up at the end of the year, and available for sale in early 2017. Then the GTS maybe 6 months after, say in mid 2017. I don't think it's years away. I do agree that the GTS is usually made available at the end of the lifecycle.

I definitely missed the boat on the NA 991.1 GTS.

What is Porsche going to call the turbo if everything is turbo?

You can order a 991.1 GTS until the end of October, for sure.

Porsche life cycle has always been:

1) Base and S come out first
2) 4 and 4S next
3) Turbos and GT3's
4) Targa and GTS

Then repeat.

I ordered mine near two months ago and got a December allocation. There was a list I believe the dealer said with 2 guys wanting a GTS build. But they weren't sure they could fill them even at that time. I know every dealer is different. And they are out there I am sure
