Yes, which is why i included it in the title of the topic. I must admit i was hopeful of getting a RHD car from the EU before i set off looking, but it is now clear that this is not possible. There are a lot of slots out there though if you dont mind LHD.

Won't most people want to track a GT4 and this also be its primary use rather than a daily driver? therefore how much of an issue would be getting a LHD version?

Most circuits run clockwise, so there's a benefit to a RHD car.

I personally have only ever driven a left hand gear change on track, so trying to change gear with my right hand, at speed, around high speed corners, will spoil the experience. I need a RHD car.

Or PDK

Yes, or PDK, but Porsche take that choice away on GT cars now. Its their way or no way.

Since the guy was Porsche Exclusive, did you at least try replying and saying that you wanted a C16 specification car with paint to sample with a non-standard stitching colour and that you did not have faith in Porsche GB to meet your requirements? Making it a Werk 1 order for late delivery might be a way of tempting them to play ball?

Good point, i will try that!!!!

I know it's irrelevant as LHD but had another 2 EU dealers come back this morning with GT4 slots still available for this years allocation, feel pretty gutted that they cannot sell the thing in the EU while the UK is fighting for scraps.

Dont worry, theres rumours of a depression coming so im sure RHD models will come available. It would appear alot of 'owners' are speccing the car for the next owner so im sure if you ask several nicely, theyll spec it for you.

Alternatively, just wait for HappyD to realise the gearing is to long and suspension to firm for his B-road blasts and buy his after 6 months.

Had an email today from Italy asking if I still wanted a car, they have still not sold all their slots. Gutted to hear this when the UK market has turned into carnage.
