I heard that they have stopped manufacturing the current GT3 and GT3 RS, and now only make a GT3 RS 4.0..

Great news!

That was tame, CGT. I was expecting better.

Thank you. I was half tempted and anyway, while I hesitated, the landing on the moon was just the right hit, anyway, as far out of the loop as someone might be and worthy of a polite jibe, enthusiasm for the RS is a redeeming quality. I know, I'm getting soft in my old age.

I just wonder - do they really think to get all the same amount of profit from selling those $185K cars so they ceased regular GT3 production?

Or is it a step they take to prepare for upcoming 991 GT3? I just do not see much logic in that, those cars are not really in the same market niche.

I very much doubt they stopped production of the GT3 and RS to facilitate better sales of the 4.0 RS ... the size/duration of the production run is driven by many factors seldom this one ... one reason might be the 50 or so GT3RSes
that were still on dealer lots 2-3 wks ago.

I think the least likely factor that stopped production is preparation for the 991 GT3 which I doubt is anything other than some CAD files in a computer and maybe an engine design/prototype... I doubt there is a mule yet, and even if there was this would not effect the production line.

Zuffenhausen is a JIT manufacturing facility capable of around 150 cars a day ... they are probably just producing more GTS etc ... they dont 'stop' the
production line unless its a holiday or they require to change the tooling on a
particular assemby station, of which only 2 are robots ...

In typical Porsche tradition the "new" C2, C4, C2S, C4S, Targa, Targa4, and TT/Cabriolets all are released prior to a 'GT' car ...hence everyone's prediction
that any 991 GT3 is a 2013/14 model at best ...

I'd say everyone who wanted and could afford a new 997.2 GT3 already has one.

Go figure, but on http://www.porsche.com/usa/ regular gt3 and gt3 rs are even gone from product model list. it looks pretty, well, odd, considering how long 2010 gt3 model was even in production so far.
