GT3MEZ Posted 10March, 2022 Report Share Posted 10March, 2022 Based on the following, $600k may represent good value in the future! https://www.carscoops.com/2022/03/porsche-reportedly-pausing-production-of-all-models-due-to-war-in-ukraine/?fbclid=IwAR2JqgRTxGjUHpgpdaEbRBPOv4x_Qfe4kgLzob2gysngAcH8cS0nuza25bU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGA Posted 10March, 2022 Report Share Posted 10March, 2022 Looks like I am going to be a victim of the shutdown. My Touring is scheduled to go CP8 shortly after March 17th so I will probably just miss the cut off date. No official word on the exact status of my car from Germany yet but PCM have warned me not to hold my breath. Indeed, if the war drags on, then who knows when production will resume. Sadly, I could be in for a loooong wait. GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 10March, 2022 Report Share Posted 10March, 2022 The issue with Porsche over the last few years has just been the influx of flippers, then covid production delays, now this. Why do I feel like the GT4 RS is going to become unobtanium even for the select few. "Limited chips, should we make GT3 RS with higher margins, or GT4 RS?". It isn't looking good, especially butting up against this 2025 emissions deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having come from the GT Falcon world i can assure you its a problem everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 19March, 2022 Report Share Posted 19March, 2022 I finally got a build slot confirmation last week scheduled for May22 (like that’s going to happen🙄) but the good news was to actually get a build slot. Then interestingly I have had 2 subsequent calls this week from PCB 1st was light weight battery not available 2nd was PCCB not available for your build slot due to Brembo not being able to supply them until August September maybe!! - Then next conversation was if you wanted to still run with Ceramics then we will allocate your May build slot to someone else then as soon as Ceramics becomes available and we have a build slot that aligns we will lock it in. Ah no I’m very happy with the steel brakes and happy to keep the May build slot. From all the information that is circulating if I actually see a car this year It’ll be a bonus. spiller, GTP911, sleazius and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 19March, 2022 Report Share Posted 19March, 2022 Lots of talk on Rennlist that all March production has been canned due to component shortages. That could be US centric but I doubt it.

I saw that it did start at $607k With the last advertised price was $595k. Not $575k It was a quite a low spec car as well, I did a quick build calc which saw it at low $4’s drive away $170-180k profit is not too bad 😳😳💰💰 DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed with my friend at Porsche when the news came out that production for GT3, 718, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and Taycan had already stopped and all others (911) were to stop by EOM. Start stocking up on used 911s! Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they've canned US production because they make less per unit on those than ROW cars. Either way, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great news I had a call late last week from PCB stating that my car had been locked for production I asked if there was any delays in the system they just said there’s been lots of speculation around this 3-4 weeks ago but they have nothing official to tell me at the moment so going by your resuming it seems they have sorted the GT3 production at least So May 29 build slot - fingers crossed 🤞 1 hour ago, DJM said: https://www.whichcar.com.au/events/performance-coty/pcoty-2022-testers-notes-porsche-911-gt3 I can only hope to feel what these differences mean in real life but none the less it shows a real step forward in Aero for the 992GT3 So at 200kph the published down force figures are 997.2 GT3 RS - 60kg 991.2 GT3 - 69kg 991.2 GT3 RS - 144kg 992 GT3 - 144kg at max setting 103kg in STD trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
