I have no doubt what apolo says is correct as he was told,but I also have no doubt that porsche will change their minds.
Sanity breaks out!

Porsche: Here is a wonderful new limited edition GT3! It's amazing! And there are only 250!

Bloke: Will there be another run of a slightly different and very slightly better GT3 in a bit?

  • Porsche thinks*
Porsche: Umm. No. Never. Unless people buy this GT3 right now, they will essentially be left to drive a boggo Golf from now on.

Bloke: Blimey. We all need to buy one now, then. Phew. Thanks for letting me know.

That car was in the OPC caus I was staring inside it and remarking what a superb spec car it was. I dont own one no. Not that it matters but I have a 997 Turbo and I am a huge fan like many of Porsche and the brand as in your own way I am sure you are too. I just dont see why as others have pointed out you state what is no more than conjecture or opinion as fact - you look like you have had and currently own some cracking cars and as I said previously your opinions are to many probably quite valid but reading this thread yesterday about you saying about the sort of speed you were carrying through corners etc at Silverstone is and I think you know it too a load of BS just like you think Porsche in probably 10 yrs ish of the 991 model will only produce 1 generation of GT3.
I am a big fan of the 991 Turbo S and if you have that too congrats sadly tho to me they have ruined what is usually seen as a special run out model by releasing it so early..IMO they should of just released a Turbo and an X50 model and again left a slightly more exclusive special car as the swan song....
Ps if you want to know what's going on with P have a look on Rennlist....they are about 10mins behind me...

Thread to discuss successor models to the 991 GT3 etc, so we leave this thread to discuss the current car.

again Apolo - I spoke to Andreas personally and unless you are actually moonlighting as him on here he said NOTHING about this being the only std GT3 that Porsche will make in the 991 guise.
I dont read mags and then regurgitate it on forums. Myself and a few others were saying just what Porsche have actually done for years and have been very successful in doing previously. I can only think that with the 991 TTS they annoyed a few GEN2 997 turbo customers by bringing out the S just a short while after the std car came out and bunging a load of options on plus the power hike rather than leaving it right til the end of the 997 production like the 993,996 etc.

You say you have actual direct knowledge but where is it? I take it you mean your word? Judging by how fast you recon you were in the 991 TTS compared to a 12C and then susequently you were mowed over by a chap that was in a radical that had telemetry your word sadly does not constitute direct knowledge here.

My car was completed yesterday but not sure what that actually means in terms of getting it here and readyfor collection. To those who hace received their cars, how long roughly was it from completion to collection. Two weeks sound about right?

Cheers
