Yes - you may be interested to read the following that I posted on another thread (997 GT3 in Geneva) and which I discovered during a recent visit to an OPC in the UK:
"I was talking to a salesman at a UK OPC today and the guy told me that 997 GT3 Mk2s are available to order. They are expected to be made in smaller numbers even than the Mk1 997 GT3 since PCGB is expecting to import fewer cars into the UK to help keep residual values higher. This OPC has no firm allocation of cars but instead cars are being made to order for customers with an initial deposit of GBP10k.
They are not expecting to have any demo cars so the only way to try them out is to pay for a GT Experience at Porsche Driving Experience Centre Silverstone (which gives a few hours in a 997 GT2 and a 997 GT3 Mk2) at a cost of around GBP400. This OPC said that, if a customer then proceeds to place an order, then the OPC will absorb the cost of the GT Experience ... like I said, that's provided that an order is subsequently placed. Otherwise the GT Experience is at the customer's own cost.
He also said that a European launch event would be expected to take place at Porsche Driving Experience Centre Silverstone and that customers could expect the first cars to be delivered around June 2009. He expects the sales brochures to be available in May.
As yet there are no details about the 997 GT3 RS...
He also said launch dates for the 997 TT Mk2 are still not confirmed..."

I believe they are ment to be introduced as options later on during the life line of MKII, but
not with the very early batch of deliveries. I find it strange that you can't oder them right from
the beginning if they have been tested with the car and have been given the green light.
