just imagine a more aggressive, lower, squatter, wider 50th anniversary with the GT3 front and rear bumpers.





it would actually look fantastic with the chrome windows even with the rear wing.. this remains my all-time favorite porsche picture:

Went to the auto show tonight -

Guys confirmed the 4.0 manual N/A car. September was the month mentioned for production/delivery.

Also heard about the 587 HP pannny with turbos and hybrid - will NOT be a vip status car.

Then of course- more chatter about some truly special car(s) coming down the pipeline (outside of gt2RS)- -absolutely no details - will be a surprise to even the insiders.

What auto show are you referring to?

I thought the Geneva auto show opened one month from today.

Chicago show?

Who was even there to "confirm" those rumors? Klaus? Joe and Andre don't usually go and that's not the type of thing they'd say.

I'm sure they can fit 25 cars or more per day through the factory but it means not everyone can get their car in the first 6 months. They will trickle out at 500 a month or something.
Uh? Then why wasn't it possible to get a late 991 gt3 allocation? Why did they stop making them before allocations were available? Why are they still trading above MSRP, used, while they are driven and are known to have mechanical problems and/or had the engine replaced?

Sorry - I shouldn't have said confirmed. There was talk of 4.0 manual n/a for next car. It sounded likely it is coming. Posted after a few too many drinks.

I guess that's the reason why Porsche is not building 10k Gt3/RS there are just not so many potential Clients out there as it seems on the first glims.

I could have a Build slot for the new GT3 here in UAE but the Dealer expect a deposit by the end of the month. Now how i can make a deposit on a car which i don't know the details? And on the other hand there are those 0km cars still sitting and get dusty.

Its a stupid game and im not sure what to do. With all this, the last N/A the last MT the last whatever its kinda makes me buying again a caterham :-)
hi,
which dealer are you talking about? Nabooda or Ali&sons?
