With 918 purchase access is gained to the VIP programme..and with it (apparently) the right to reserve a 991 GT3 RS build slot.

The twist (at least according to post referenced above) is that such will be ADDITIONAL to overall 991 RS supply to North America...

This might reflect differences PCNA vs PCGB...or it could be wrong....

But getting distinct sense that an RS will be rather difficult to come by..

(last count - source Car (UK) - there were still 200 build slots open for 918 globally)

This is correct....

Yes but what exactly is correct ??

1. 918 RS allocations will be in addition to planned allocations
2. 918 RS allocations will be taken out of planned allocations
3. There are still 200 918 build slots available

Thanks, but could I push my luck on another question ??

Will dealers be confirming RS orders later this year - yes/no.
Will there be any UK deliveries by end of this year - yes/no.

Ok sorry that's 2 questions but couldn't resist !!

This is only my view, I would expect the above in Q1 next year....

Apolo1 - Are you aware of 918 build slots being available in UK?

no accurate info, but if I had to call it I would say a handful, if that left...

I can't claim to have the impeccable sources (at time of writing) that apolo1 has but I believe there still are 918 slots available.

Just call a dealer and find out how quickly they lay out the red carpet.

they may just close the door, and place the remaining balance into other markets, I would if I had confirmed orders..

Well, surely no one in his right mind is going to spank €800k just on the strength of an evo review however good it is.. or so one would hope anyway!

A few weeks ago I had a brief chat with someone in Reading about one and I didn't exactly have the red carpet brought out unfortunately...
