Lord_Driftalot:
Does anyone know when the first GT3 should be delivered to customers in Europe (Germany or Austria)?
Is it correct that it'll be beginning of october (same time as for the 991 TT/TTS)?
This is actually the weirdest thing I ever encountered: Normally, Porsche seems to set a certain date and this is when cars are allowed to be delivered to customers.
All I have so far is a delivery embargo for the 991 Turbo S (Oct. 5th) but even this one doesn't seem to be fixed.
Also: The 991 Turbo doesn't seem to make it to customers before November or even December, which is kind of weird.
Another weird thing: I heard that GT3 production starts end of July and first (ordered, dealers or customers) cars go to dealers end of August. Now I just heard that there will be a delivery embargo until after the IAA in Frankfurt (ends September 22nd...I think). A short time later, another source told me that first GT3 customer cars may be delivered early September.
As you can see: Pretty weird.
Right now, my 991 Turbo S production(!) is planned for end of September.
Now take the new 991 Carrera S Anniversary Edition: Some dates have changed here too (I haven't asked but apparently there are some changes going on).
Then, there was a 991 Turbo S guy on a US Porsche forum who claimed that he got a FIXED production date in October, he named the precise date. This is impossible since fixed dates haven't been set yet. My 991 Turbo S allocation will be fixed on July 3rd (after that, I cannot change the order) or so and this is when I may found out the precise production date (still end of September though...I assume).
Which brings me to the next weird thing: If my 991 Turbo S will be produced end of September, why can't I change the options (like color or whatever) after July 3rd. This would actually suggest that the car will be produced in August and not September.
I may have the chance to find out more about the GT3 and Turbo S production start mid of July or so.
The latest rumor actually indicates that the GT3 production starts end of July. So why would first customer cars go do dealers in September?
Actually, I think that the Porsche dealers have all the information they need to inform customers but I don't know why they keep them hidden or don't share them. Weird.
