New GT4RS - Page 1 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

Just curious to see if anybody has an official confirmed order in place for a new GT4RS and if so is there any estimated build slot time / delivery time

Most people who will be getting the first cars would have submitted spec and had confirmation by now. My understanding is that first cars will be delivered around March/April, with second cars going into production around April/May. A few dealers will possibly get a 3rd car but that isnt certain yet!

If the first two cars per OPC are getting produced by the end of Q2 next year, and the production run is a couple of years, then surely they're getting more than two cars!

I spoke to my local OPC about this on behalf of a friend a couple of weeks ago, as my own latest was just arriving. They had one car allocated for launch, but thought they may only get one more allocated for year 2. They felt the "not limited in numbers" announcement might have been a bit misleading, because they are not in a position to take an order (which might mean they have someone very much lined up for car 2) The friend that I asked on behalf of lives in another part of the country. He called his nearest OPC the following weekend, and they claimed not to have any allocation at all, but already have a queue of expressions of interest into double figures. I think they'll be pretty thin on the ground. Liam

Plus fewer cars in theory increases marketing effect, bun fight, number of Taycan orders to get up the list etc. ....

I guess with all the shortages in supply of parts then the more profitable cars will get priority? I guess time will tell! I suppose the GT3 example is the I've to look at - an initial batch then naff all for 6-9 months...

You could be right. Based on what some of the guys are saying in the US first year will be very low and second year will be a lot more! Basing predictions on GT3 though, even 2022 allocations are pretty low. I've heard most opcs will get between 6-10 cars split between winged and touring! Will they be building GT3 into 2023?

Interesting comments , however it looks like nobody on the forum is as yet confirming they have a personal order with a build slot date allocated , this is what I’m curious to know , who if any forum members has got one for definite , lucky them if they are out there 😀

Chap here confirmed he had a PTS allocation! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... Ive seen a coulpe of guys on IG confirm as well, but most seem to be quite about it!

When speaking with my OPC they have only been allocated one car at this time and have know idea if they will get anymore. It a probably a guessing game from them as it is for us at this time considering the car is so new and the supply chain issues.

My OPC has only got 1 car and they don’t know how many they will get but it won’t be many at all

Then maybe another one later in the year.

Yep, pal of mine has a confirmed allocation which is the first and only car his dealer has a build slot for (april/may ‘22 PTS build) which he has had to submit his spec and deposit for. That’s from a Porsche owned dealer. My OPC have been told to expect only 1 car for 2022 and no indication when in 2022 the build slot is, so until they know that they won’t decide which lucky customer gets it. Seems very very low numbers, initially at least. The upside is that it should weed out the flippers.

Like seaworld Orlando, there’ll always be flippers

If I was a flipper I would keep quiet ... Genuine enthusiasts are generally keepers and users of their cars ... And an OPC re-selling it has GDPR to avoid any possible embarrassment ?

I don't know of anyone who's getting one, they seem very hard to come by

I went to speak to my local OPC about 6 months ago. He had three £10K deposits for the 4RS at that stage. Didn’t seem much point adding my name to that list to be honest. Little chance they will even get two cars he suspected

He's so annoyed that he's vowed to never buy another porsche again I think he was a little naive tbh
