992 GT3 Touring

[Relic]

This was supposed to launch sometime in May. Anyone heard anything?

Might be delayed given all the issues with semi-conductors.

I was at the OPC this morning and asked,
It seems uncertainty is more certain than news....

Possibly an October announcement, but be prepared to wait!!

So I have no idea

[CloudStuff]

We'll be onto 992.2 before any potential deliveries would arrive!

Yes maybe Touring will be a .2 option

I think a Touring will just be a winged car, without the wing. If that sounds stupid, look at the configurator - it looks like you could just unscrew the wing and hey presto, you have a touring!

Yes but it is not about the wing but the Badge it this "investors " market ..... as far as I can see

Agree. Here's a picture of the old one to keep us all happy in the meantime....

I’m pleased to say I’ll be investing in many laps of the Ring in mine when it arrives

I’m not sure about that...I think it’s the car a lot of people want because it’s a more useable car on a daily basis. Because they don’t want the attention a wing brings. I specced my 991.2 GT3 as a CS with a Wing in Lava Orange so the antithesis of going”under the radar”...I wanted the full GT3 experience and I love the car for what it is. I would use it more if it didn’t have a cage in the back and wasn’t bright orange as there are times when those things make a difference....but I have other cars so it’s not a problem.

Looking at the back of your car, it seems like you are missing the wing on your Touring

[Relic]

Anyone on here got a confirmed build slot as yet?

I’m liking this one.

Whole lotta want going on for these….

Just for argument’s sake, as a first time Pork buyer, what would be the realistic chance of bagging a build slot? And how could that chance be improved assuming it’s slimmer than a racing snake’s todger…?

[hunter 66]

Yes , again for the really special clients only , which is totally reasonable as they spend their money and are good clients . Again no place for me but happy accept that , as have only bought GT products in the past . Happy to be privileged to be able to drive my RS daily and race Porsche in international race events , so not too bothered . But I like the progress that Porsche always makes , and this is how the 911 concept survives .

With no more build slots for 2021 and I suspect most good customers at OPCs after a Touring (I reckon they will have declined an early 2021 slot for this reason) I'm pretty sure you've got virtually zero chance of getting an allocation for a car specced to your liking.

GT3 allocations are always in high demand and anyone new to the marque is unlikely to just walk into a dealership and get one.

You need a previous relationship or be someone special - TV celebrity, successful influencer etc.

On the continent Tourings will only be delivered in 2022. That was indicated by my OPC rep. Not sure how much PTS will push this out further but I am not in a rush

On the Porsche UK website, despite the same power output, the GT3 is quoted as 3.4s (0-62mph) and 198mph, whereas the GT3 Touring is 3.9s (0-62mph) and 199mph. The top speed difference makes sense, the 0-62mph does not!

Both versions are identical. The Manual is 3.9s and 199mph and the pdk is 3.4s and 198mph.

I think that will be because the GT3 standard equipment is PDK whereas the Touring is manual.
