Default Anybody going to the event at Bev Hills Porsche??

Drove by this morning and the showroom was empty.

drove by just now and there was one car... in the middle of the showroom... covered in a silk cover prepped for a reveal.

shape looked like it had a spoiler in the rear. Maybe 718 GT4 but seemed too big. Anybody get the invite? I hate to get hopes up but certainly had me wondering if it was a 992 turbo under there.

It may just be a 992 S model. With cars now available, a lot of dealers seem to be doing 992 introduction events.

I was planning to go, but got called in to work all this week instead. On the plus side my 992 C2S should be ready to drive when I get back.

Post some pictures if you go...

LA Auto Show starts this weekend...no doubt some kind of pre-reveal party, but I would have expected those to be down at the PEC these days...

False alarm: just a Carrera. They must have had the spoiler up under the cover when I drove by. Strange do do this a full year after the reveal when there are already 992s all over the streets here (saw 3 on the road today)

It's not strange to do it when dealer's have cars in inventory. It's been a very low key launch and folks may not be aware that cars are available.
Sadly, in 2019, the majority of people walking into Porsche dealerships want buy an SUV.

My dealership is having the same thing tomorrow (with a 60's theme dress code ) - and they've already been moving 992s as well.

Some times they do this for customers when they deliver their car. A personal reveal?

I think it is more of a launch party than a reveal. Especially given the fact you could see their inventory months before they “unveil” it.

It was their 992 launch party. It was rescheduled from an earlier date because of the wildfires.
