Headline from Porsche regarding Geneva Auto Show: A Focus on Motorsport: ..... And, they are saying nothing about the GT4, but it was launched in Geneva in 2015 along side the GT3RS... https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/prod...-rs-10052.html

Will they include the GT4 at this year's show? And, is the Focus on Motorsport going to be truly just one car???

And, from a marketers perspective, it is the perfect way to Debut a GT4 - the "entry level" GT4 along side of the "King 911" GT3RS. The GT4 gets a bump by being associated with the motorsports focused GT3RS, and at the same time takes nothing away from it.

No reason to delay. All the corporate activities of Porsche are focused on electrification of the future Porsche. So, I think there is no reason to delay the launch of what is truly "old school" naturally aspirated, track focused car. Launch it, sell it, make money, and keep old school customers happy. Like me.

Yep, you nailed it. I'm a lot-monkey down at the local Porsche store.

No they can't, not if they didn't get in line in time. The current model allows me to get a GT-whatever as soon as I want one, no matter when I decide I want one, as long as I'm willing to pay market price for it at that time. Others, who may not be willing to pay market price, may wish to subject themselves to the dis-organized, unofficial, no-money-to-secure-your-place, mysterious dealer "list" system, the possible (likely?) results of which we see in this and many other threads detailing people who were on the list and didn't get a car. So the overall system is great -- those who want to take their chances with a "promise" of a place on the list and a car at MSRP can do so and just might get exactly that, and those who want a car, and are willing to pay actual market, can do just that.

It's the same way I buy concert tickets. I'm glad scalpers exist. I think of them as my agents who invest the time and capital to buy my seats for me and hold them till I'm in the mood to actually buy them myself. They perform a great service, including risking buying the tickets and holding them for 3 months. If I do that myself and then decide the day of the concert that I don't want to go, I'm stuck with tickets I don't want.

At an earlier time in my young life I was one of those agents. Now I'm doing my small part to support them. I like the system.

Which brings back my original point. Is the market price too high for you? Shop for something with a smaller price tag .

Just strolled across the Porsche stand here at 7:30AM, its pretty bare. Just a Boxster GTS, Carrera T and an RS under a sheet plus the usual hybrids. If there is a GT4 anywhere they are hiding it well and not sure where they would put it.

The RS and a concept electric cross turismo were introduced and that's all folks.

Well nothing at Geneva, let's hope for a New York reveal.

JCviggen

It will be launched in Europe, obvious place would be Paris after summer but who knows.

Porsche also has a history of debuts at the LA Autoshow in late November. Could happen there as well.
