An OPC have told me it now exists on their systems. There will be 991 cars worlwide, and in the UK will cost approx £175k.

How many 997.2 GT3 4.0 were there - I think about 600 world wide is this right ?

Cheers

My OPC told me it is NOT yet on their System but they have been told how many cars they will get. I have also been quoted there will be 991 cars only, with about 950 actually going into the dealer network. Price wise they expect the car to cost about 220k € although they have no definitive info on pricing. The best news by far was that I will get one

that is actually quite a lot of cars - I read it would be more like 600 (weren't there only like 250 Sport Classic?). Then again a lot fewer than GT3RS.

Congrats on getting one - am sure it will be awesome - the 991 to own if rumours are accurate

Interesting. Reached out to my OPC on the continent and they claimed to have no information at all on the 991R and its allocation...

Andrew Frankel reports in Autocar that the 991R could be a regular model and not limited if not to pricey I might be interested!

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting comments by him regarding the 911R likely to be a permanent addition to the 911 lineup. I don't know how close he is to Porsche so difficult to determine how accurate his comments are but would be strange for him to be so specific if he didn't have any inside knowledge

Andrew Frankel is one of the few motoring journos that I respect ,longtime 911 fan as well so hope there is some truth in those comments but we shall know in a couple of weeks

I'm going to Genva on the 4th so hope to see it and have a good look round it.

Andrew Frankel's article seems to suggest that the car will be unveiled at Geneva 2017, not this year.

He also talks about things that were reported in Autocar "in June this year". So launch might still be at Geneva this year

[hunter 66]

Another team R for GT 3 ( Pro-am ) racing ....as for road cars there will be so few that not all OPCs will get one ...

I can't see Porsche releasing a vehicle based on a 991.1 in 2017.

Plus I've not seen anybody else suggesting that the R is going to be a standard model, rather than a VERY limited run. Not sure this is the best piece of journalism!

[hunter 66]

Spoke to my dealer today they get 1 and obviously taken , so expect to be shown soon ..great

[Nimerino]

Someone (a user that goes by the handle Metzeger) posted these on Rennlist a couple of hours ago.




Another forum member went all CSI on them and found this writing on the tach:


Looks like it's coming, and I for one am more excited than I thought I'd be, even though I'm not in the market for it. This thing might be genuinely special.

[hondansx]

Sounds good but given the owner of my OPC took 2 GT4s from his own customers then i can't see anyone getting an opportunity if it is a single 911R per dealer!
