This assumption may not hold true. They are still unsure the impact of the new EU safety rules. Did you know Mclaren in the 11th hour decided that they can't make the new 750S comply with these rules and as such 750S will not be produced for EU market in 2025 and 2026 model years? This just sort of happened and was communicated. North America will get 750S for those 2 model years though. Not saying thats what will happen with GT3RS but simply pointing out these types of rules and logistical issues aren't always perfectly resolved and some stuff do not go according to the plan. If Porsche does decide to build a GT3RS for MY25 in 992.1 chassis and they do decide to sell this car in EU market, they will have to build a brand new bumper and electronics for these new safety systems and they'll have to keep a separate set of US parts and software. It sounds simple but its not really that simple.

Cultural differences definitely influence how engineering is done, and German engineering is among the best in the world. But even then, given how much we Americans love cars and driving, it's surprising that no American manufacturer has been able to make a sports car which truly rivals Porsche.
The Corvette is an iconic American sports car, and I've wanted one for decades. I'm rooting for Team America. The only reason I haven't gotten one for the track is that I've routinely seen Corvettes in the paddock with their hood up, unable to go on track because of mechanical or electrical issues. If they've solved that problem and the car is now as reliable as Porsches (which are not entirely bulletproof!), I'll definitely be interested.

Corvette is a great car at the $90k price point. 911 GT is a great car at the $200k price point.
Just my $0.02... being an American engineer that works with a lot of German and British engineers.

Also, those that had their allocation reallocated to 2025 model will not get a price increase. This information is rock solid.

There you go again. Introducing anxiety about US 3RS allocations. As I pointed out to you in a previous post, EU regulations do not apply to car built to be sold in the US. There will be a 2025 3RS allocations mid June if not sooner. Those who had allocations will be reallocated to 2025 models. Build will begin after the factory returns from their yearly holiday.

Well.... Mine just got pushed back another month. Started production and was supposed to be finished 29Mar and has been stuck post paint since then. It been delayed 2 times already and now the 3rd delay is saying new end or production estimate 25May. Any idea on what is holding these up so bad?

Allocation are out there; you may have to buy a couple of watches, a couple of EVs, a Cayenne, ADM, BBQ, or UTT (Under The Table):
