Pork Chops Posted 20February, 2017 Report Share Posted 20February, 2017 Pork Chops once you've gone black on black you don't go back. Or something like that?Maybe I should try it then . I did see a BoB 991 Targa the other day and it did melt my heart a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSR Garage Posted 20February, 2017 Report Share Posted 20February, 2017 You're probably right, as a rabid car enthusiast I struggle to see that side of it. Would explain why late model 911s only seem to come in 1 of 3 colours.Back to the topic of the thread, on rennlist they're saying between 5000 and 6500 of these were made!! No wonder Porsche is being coy on delivery numbers. Wonder how many made it out here?I have been told,in lots of 40s X 3 = 120? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 21February, 2017 Report Share Posted 21February, 2017 This car being PTS will hurt it less when they start to drop IMO. Even if Miami is not your colour, it sets it apart from the others. GLWS to your mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperson Posted 21February, 2017 Report Share Posted 21February, 2017 I overheard the local Dealer Principal here in Brisbane say he had 21 deposits for the upcoming next gen GT3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 25February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 25February, 2017 More digging into numbers. Seems around 1600 were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 25February, 2017 Report Share Posted 25February, 2017 Really? The talk on rennlist is now firming at 5500 to 6500 made. They certainly seem way more common than the 997 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 26February, 2017 Report Share Posted 26February, 2017 Per this circa 3500 world wide (NA usually 40% of sales), if correct not as many as thought:http://pcnalocator.com/production-991-1-gt3-rs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 24March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 24March, 2017 Asked One who Knows and the information is that others who said around 5000 GT3RS's were right. Interesting twist from the same guy who is senior Porsche sales. He says that the picky Porsche buyer is not necessarily turned on by Carrera's Carrera S's but looking for something unique now that Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren et al have their shit together and that those buyers are crossing the floor and stumping for something "special". Not necessarily rare, just special. Im guessing the days of 1500-2000 special run models are pretty much over unless it's an emasculated model run out sticker kit job like the 911R. ??Sort of like what Holden did with the G Pak Torana back in the day but with less daring colours ....

sleazius Posted 24March, 2017 Report Share Posted 24March, 2017 It's still a very rare car. RHD typically <10% of production. On top of that we still can't import even if we wanted to, so 140 cars total. Yes it's double both of the 997 versions but it's still crazy thin on the ground here.They're going to drop back in the short term because the flippers don't want to get stuck with them, but long term they'll go up. Too rare and too desirable not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
