First UK cars being delivered in March with Tourings in April.

4 seat touring with a titanium exhaust is my choice, assuming I can have back seats.

Car does not enter production until March so highly unlikely to make its way to the U.K. in the same month. And typically, the first batch of cars stay with Porsche for the driving schools and journalist test cars.

The Touring is not announced until May and does not enter production until July.

I am just reiterating what my dealer told me. They said I could have a winged car in March.

chris3963 knows much more about Porsche GT car production than your dealer.

porsche dealers don’t know anything early.

I guess it is possible to get a car from Germany to the U.K. in a couple of weeks but the car would have to be an early March build in order to get to the U.K. by month end. But if the U.K. crashes out of the EU without a deal, then forget about it.

Interestingly,the U.K. allocations have historically been early in the model cycle. For the 991 GT3, U.K. RHD cars were in the early batches. But you know what, I would not take a first build car if I was offered one. I would let them build them for a few months first. Gremlins!

No way. Surely my Porsche dealer would never make things up and lie to me???? Inconceivable

It's why the UK didn't get paint to sample last time.

My dealer said the timeline isn’t known and there are no allocations yet, nothing been released information wise either. They sit on the Porsche dealer board and are very transparent, so if they don’t know then I find it hard to believe another dealer does

I don't think anybody will know anything until the announcement date. Then I am not sure how long after that point that the dealerships will be given allocations. Hopefully right away.

BrntRubber

My dealer already knows his allocation.

subshooter

That is very interesting. An allocation is paired with a production month. Do you know that month for your dealership's allocations?

Im in the UK my dealer said my Touring will be the first they get and will be in April but there will be some winged cars coming in before mine. With corona I assume there might be a slight further delay.

I also asked how easily the wing can be removed as I might go winged to get a car early. 3 pedals and back seats is all i care about. No wing is even better.

I haven't been able to get confirmation on back seats but have asked around.

Here’s a cliche drive-by question, from a relative newbie, for you guys:

I want a 992 PTS gt3 touring, I’d like it by the middle of 2022. I am located in south FL USA with zero history at any Porsche dealer. What chance in hell do I have at getting this done? How do I know I’ve got a live one on the line? In my experience with other makes, and other products (watches), many dealers are quick to take a deposit but few are able to execute.

if you dont play you cant win ... but expect that many dealers *already* have a LONG waitlist for their allocations ...
