I don't think anyone has mentioned yet, but 992.2 GT3 will be introduced in Chinese market this time. The 992.1 GT3 was not available in China.

It is possible that allocations will be harder to get compared to 992.1 because PAG is supplying Chinese market now.

You're saying China didn't get any .1 GT3s? Not that I don't believe you, but that's very hard to believe.

Yes, China didn't get any .1 GT3s. Porsche China does not list any GT3 or GT3 RS on their configurator: https://www.porsche.com/china/en/

Also, the 992.1 GT3 RS was only available as a limited non-street legal track car from motorsport department: https://www.porsche.com/china/en/abo...=china&lang=en

.1 was not officially introduced to china but it can be imported thru non official channels. .2 is gonna be sold officially tho. But china’s retaliation on European cars can make the gt3 more expensive due to punitive taxes. Porsche will churn out more .2 than .1 for sure as the gt3 is cash cow. So i dont think it will be harder to get in other markets.

Dealers usually ask for more and they get less - at least for this car. Is there any other way to start manufacturing a mass market complicated machine on a global base?

At the end of the day PAG is exchanging info with the dealers in order to sync production (supply) with demand. And simply this process does not start on the 18th.

If you want to take it a step further there is also an internal configurator where dealers configure internally the cars. This also does not “activate” on the launch date.

This is of course how I imagine that it works
Yeah that production slots are given is one thing and dealers could promise these to their customers but it's not an official order nor a confirmation as this is only possible with the sos as it was assured to me.
The rest is dealer own handling with their customers. Sometimes even additional slots pop up where I refused it as at same time I got the wp info on the .2. But on the other side the design changes done to the rear end with the porsche lettering and the gts front end gives me some shivers and I m afraid the .2 touring front end looks wouldn't be that nice as the . 1. Particular with the cheap full digital display, cheap start button etc pp.

For those that have been asking about colour, the new possible addition is oak green neo as a new “standard” colour.

I will confirm this once more next week.

The neo is an odd color (better than nothing though). They made oak green metallic more “green” and less “pale”. Probably a bad explanation but just my thoughts

I got a message from my dealer yesterday asking if I’d like a .2 GT3 allocation. They confirmed Oct 18 reveal. FYI dealer is in Europe.

Did they specify winged or touring or either?

Why in the Hell would they introduce this car in China? Makes no sense to me.

I agree, it's more saturated green, less subtle and not very Oak Green to my eyes! :-)
