Some (e.g., Ford) are even slowing/stopping production. So delayed launches should not surprise anyone, and delayed availability is almost a given.

Also, the way things are going, we will have a shortage of new cars later this year, so do not rush to sell what you have just yet.

I would imagine that affects the RELEASE of the car or at least production of it, however would that also postpone the reveal? Unless they don't want to have too much of a gap between reveal and ramping up to full production.

This, exactly.

That being said I think it looks great

So far, the GT3 is looking like the ugliest 911 since the runny egg yolk.

I have to say if the car looks like that render it is one ugly duckling.

A bit of wrap around the Whale Shark mouth in front will soften that up some perhaps. Maybe there will be an option to paint the Whale Shark Mouth for an additional $2K?

It looks like the 992 GT3 cup car... which I think looks pretty great.

We should know what it really looks like very soon. The wing looks very crude and industrial which works on the race car and maybe of the RS version. I expect a little more restraint and a smoother look in the regular gt3.

This car will be awesome. Everytime they bring one out they always deliver the goods.

I may just wait though and go from my RS to the next RS unless they bring a back seat option which may convince me..

After what I went through with the reveal to order to delivery of my RS6 my expectations about reveals/timelines are now just a shrug of the shoulders. Excited none the less.

I have just been informed that there are production delays due to a slowdown in the parts supply because of c-19. I am a direct recipient of this because I have two cars on order and both have been pushed back two months. As a result, there may be some rolling delays in the release schedule going forward because they want to make sure they get the right spacing between announcement and start of production which is pretty much always two months. But having said that, the Base Taycan was announced right on schedule earlier this week so let’s see what happens next week.
