991 GT2 RS

[Blukoo]

So, who has their name down for one?

What spec/performance do you think it'll be or what do you want?

[996GT2]

Got laughed at when trying to get on the list.

It'll be the same people getting the cars again this time I'd imagine.

[Blukoo]

My dad who registered his interest this morning is either 5th or 6th on the list (which might just be a little too high to actually get one).

He has never ever bought a brand new Porsche from this dealership. He has however been taking his cars there since they opened.

Registered interest with Hatfield back in March this year with an LOI after the GT4 debacle, not sure if it was dismissed or has been accepted.

Sad i know but there you go and its what i was advised at the time by them to do regarding a gt4.2

Are they going to make a 991 GT2 RS then?

Apparently so.

One person I've spoken to who has just bought a GT4 and an unspecified 2016 car to help bump him up the list told me late 2016 for the GT2 RS, however I've only seen 2018 mentioned elsewhere.

[f1ten]

seen people on here saying they tried to order a gt4 a year ago yet a couple of others on here successfully ordered and have taken delivery of a gt4 after only ordering 6 months ago...

not impressed to here this at all... so does this mean dealer favouritism or you need to shop around more or do you actually have to buy another duff model just to get in their good books?! If so I would rather wait for 1 year once gt4s hype has calmed down and they return down to list price.

There have been a few more cars supplied to the UK and some dealers were able to place them with people who were on the list. I don't believe there has been that much favoritism, obviously some but not much..

Forget the letter of interest. If you are serious the dealer will take a full deposit from you. It won't guarantee you a car but it will help a lot more than a letter.

deposits mean nothing, past history is key to getting cars.

don't think this is true either as for someone on pistonheads who has never bought a new Porsche or as far as I know not even a secondhand Porsche from an opc had no trouble getting a gt4,whereas some of the unlucky ones have bought both new and secondhand from an opc !

[lemmingjames]

well ive got my LOI in, if i get allocated one then alls good, if i dont life will go on

Not true for the GT3 so why would it be true for the GT2?

It could be argued that due to the desirability of the 991 GT3 (and its subsequent second hand values) it started all this letter of intent nonsense

pretty much, like i said, OPC Hatfield advised me getting in an LOI early for the next gen GT4 now as i missed out. People had LOI's in before the 3RS was announced.

its a shame its gone down this route but there you go

[throt]

Theres a lot more to it to secure a car than a LOI. Use your imagination guys.

Well I have to say I don't understand how it works, I am on my 8th Porsche and have bought 6 from OPC's, 3 from 1 OPC and I could not get a GT4 and I tried on the day they were released when I heard they were manual, even with a GT3 to trade against.
Don't really know what you should do I am told that LOI does not guarantee a car and that GT cars are allocated by the DP.
So not sure if you should look to buy an Alfa or an Evora 400 or take up the suggestion above.

In the meantime I have a LOI in for a GT4RS probably got more chance of winning the Euro lottery.

With all due respect, as you have a clear and credible OPC relationship however, if you tried on the day it was announced it was already too late. LOI's is the course of action if a drunken bloke down the pub whispers something about maybe there being a GT4 in the distant future.
