The factory closes annually for the entire month of August. My understanding is Porsche retools the factory for the next model year during this closure. This implies 8/1 allocations are for the next year model. This is the best of my knowledge anyway, others may be closer to this question.

That's not true. The "re-tooling" is not as expansive as you would think, especially when there are not model changes (e.g. 991 to 992). My Targa 4 (MY 2022) began production in late July. It finished on August 25, after the 4-week factory shutdown. Plenty of people here beat the clock, and got their '22 models built and shipped before the August vacation. I got my 2022 allocation in April. That's when they started this year. I assume that's when they typically start. With a predicted 6-month gap between order and delivery, that puts you in the early fall, which is when the next year's models start showing up, historically. Mine just arrived, by the way. Delivery is in 4 weeks.
I do recall that the 2022's made their "on-line" debut essentially 4/1/21.
So which model year would folks say I would likely be getting IF an allocation pops for me in Feb?....would it be an end of run 2022 or an as yet to be announced 2023?

Assuming no swaps or bonus allocations occur, it would appear (and my SA says) my next chance is the supposed February 2022 release for the C4S Ive been waiting on since May.

Ha, oh the torture!!....would be a year+ that Id have been waiting only then to start thinking about the "shinier" object of the impending model year changes Id be missing out on.
Certainly blessed to have these as challenges....

To answer the question re "allocations" specifically, dealers receive allocations Quarterly, Nov 1, Feb 1, May 1, Aug 1. Inbetween these dates, they MIGHT also receive additional allocations here and there based on sales volume, etc. This has been confirmed multiple times by multiple reputable dealers.
SA has offered me a C2S feb allocation. I have been waiting for more than 2 months now to get a C2 allocation.
He advised me that they might get more allocations the first week of December.
will wait and see if he gets a C2 or i will go with C2S.
BTW i am in Saudi.

I am not sure about Saudi, but in the States, 2 months would be very, very quick. I also don’t believe that the dealerships have any insight into what allocations they will get, so I would be cautious relying on that promised allocation.

In the Middle East as well and it’s bout 3 months to get an allocation. It’s a fairly controlled market with one dealer so they’re fairly certain of their allocations. Delivery takes another few months so a 5/6 month turnaround.
Targa’s and Cabs are a lot more difficult - they get essentially one allocation a month so 12 cars over the course of the year.

Almost mid December now. North America dealers said they are getting another special allocation (it was quarterly in the past but they are getting one November and December this time). In November most of them didnt get any Base or S model. We are waiting for a base allocation to replace the base 992 I bought while waiting.
Is anyone else waiting to hear from dealer about December 992 allocation? Do you know when will it drop?

is your source reliable?
is this an additional allocation or is it replacing the next quarters?
does this apply to all dealers?

If that turns out to be fake I will take back my deposit and just drive the 992 I already have (albeit not the config I would like since I got it from the lot used)

Hey all,
What would you guys suggest is the best way to get an allocation? I called my dealer and they have a 8 ppl waitlist for a c2s cab. I was just going to call around and find the shortest list for MSRP and pay the refundable deposit and put my name on. How many dealers should I do this at? Any tips on picking dealers or anything else different I should be doing?
thanks

Has anyone received a 992 base or S allocation in December?
I've been waiting for a C2S allocation at my local dealer since May. First on the waiting list now but they have only received one C2S in July and that's been it. Like most other dealers, in November they received GTS, GT3 and TurboS spots, which would make sense since these are all produced on the same chassis apparently? My SA said they receive very little information from PCNA regarding timing of upcoming allocations, but he is thinking next batch will be in February.
