How many OPCs are there in the uk?

34 last count

[Actus Reus]

Was thinking that too - and I count 36, so allowing for PEC to have a car, and maybe a new dealer and a press car, it's about one per OPC. I can't see that.

ETA: or 34. Something like that anyway!

You could be right and Porsche just haven't updated the site: http://www.porsche.com/uk/aboutporsche/n71/

if it's 44 cars, and not a 4 cylinder I reckon this will be a cast-iron investment. My gut tells me more than 44 cars though...

I was told 44 in 2015...not 44 in total. But hey, it's only what the salesman told me. We'll find out in due course.

[Actus Reus]

Nevertheless that's a small allocation - but perhaps it is indeed correct. In which case I can forget it for sure. As you say, we'll see what happens next year.

youve got to love the internet speculation.decided to ring a number of opc i have had dealings over the past 10 years with yesterday and some have maybe one person on a "list" and some have none.also no mention of taking deposits for securing a car or any loose details on the car but also no denial too.as to wether its a limited number remains to be seen!as i said before on another post no porsche employee is going to be loose with their tongue and risk his/her job until embargo date although there may be subtle hints.
either way car or not i have my name down on a few lists and may be 1st or 2nd who actually knows unless you work for said opc!

But if its not a cayman with a healthy na flat 6 engine with a manual or it has naff body styling i am out

I heard only people who have a 918 on order and owned at least 3 x GT3's are allowed one. Also you have to have AP on speed dial and be a non smoker, non drinker with a BMI of under 18.

If thats the case 44 might be enough

Apparently I am number 3 on LOI list, I only did this last Friday. To be fair my dealer is a tiny little town call London so maybe dealers in big Cities have all the LOI's.

I better go as I hear the new Cayenne will be made in a limited run of 250000 I need to get my deposit in now!

If these are made in very small numbers most on here will not see one as they will be snapped up by the VIPs and serial Porsche collectors.

Lets hope they make enough for everyone that wants one.

I was thinking that, can't imagine too many VIP-types scrambling for a Cayman of any description..........

why would I want something with over 100bhp less?, though having said that a close ratio stick shift, 370bhp,? proper Lsd, CCBDs, bucket's......Big point for me is though the rws or lack off......

Although amazing on track the 991 GT3 is pretty numb and un-involving as a road car unless you do silly speeds. I am not saying it isn't an incredible car, but in my eyes it is too capable for road driving. Maybe a manual Cayman GT4 will turn out to be a better bet for road going involvement and fun.
