Have dealers now received their Speedster and 3RS allocations for 2019?
I have emailed my dealer but haven’t heard back yet.
I thought they were going to let you know today! I'm very interested to hear what the news is.With your current stable of GT cars if anyone can find out it must be you Brnt Rubber!!! I have emailed my dealer but haven’t heard back yet.

Dealer said cars won’t come to end of Q1 and the 3RSs will likely be delivered after the Speedsters.
So still nothing to confirm that there will be a definite second batch of GT3 RSs..Did your dealer confirm allocations of the Speedster or just speculating..?At least my DP has been professional enough to keep schmuck until he's had an official confirmation from PGB HQ, of which he still has not received..

Nothing 100% but my dealer thinks it is highly likely.At least my DP has been professional enough to keep schmuck until he's had an official confirmation from PGB HQ, of which he still has not received..
Allocations of Speedster have not been allocated yet either but they are coming, likely in Mid Dec or early Jan. again not 100% but very likely.
So the speedster is coming first now? Probably means they have an engine for it that passes the real world emissions requirements then. Seems that they don’t have one for the 3RS so far, hence the stalling on allocations and “coming Monday, oh now it’s December” kind of comments. I mean, if they are coming, why not just allocate them with delivery dates of whatever month in 2019? Their production planning goes out a long way after all. I have ordered new 911s with production slots 8 months away in the past, so what’s the hold up?
The first batch was a total kick and rush with allocations in Feb 2018 and deliveries in April and May 2018 and I believe that was done to get some cars to the U.K. before the factory shutdown and the new emissions regs. If they are making more in 2019, why not just allocate them?

As i've said all along its easier to get the Speedster to pass the WLTP regs as they've said that it'll have the RSs engine..I checked last night and they clearly state that the Speedster will have 500PS which is 20PS less than the RS.The first batch was a total kick and rush with allocations in Feb 2018 and deliveries in April and May 2018 and I believe that was done to get some cars to the U.K. before the factory shutdown and the new emissions regs.

The problem lies with the RS itself as they're still unable to get the full fat 520PS from the engine due to the GPF.

Can you shed some light on the changes to the engine which has caused a drop in power? And more importantly can we remove this? An extra 20PS bonus would be great!The problem lies with the RS itself as they're still unable to get the full fat 520PS from the engine due to the GPF.
