First press reviews are mid November.

Pre-production model has already been reviewed in the US.

It's on here somewhere!

As an aside, I wonder what Monkey Harris will make of it when he gets to test one particularly in view of the fact that he has just parted with a hugh wedge for his RS4.0

I don't think I'd mind - the 4.0 will be a classic, not gonna lose a lot of cash on that.

Thanks everyone. Anyone got the US review?

Can't be long to go. Customer cars are supposed to be coming through from mid december (17th?). I've just had an invite to see the 991 at an OPC preview function on 7th December.

The initial reviews tend to be carefully orchestrated, as part of the official press launch, at a carefully selected venue.

More interesting, to most people on here, will be the full road tests of UK production cars on UK roads - probably shortly after the December launch. So, right in the middle of winter.

LOSE cash on a 4.0RS? Not a hope in hell.

These are only going one way in my view, and thats up!

Caveat - I may be wrong.

If that's the case, Porsche finance aren't too confident - I think he has a GFMP after 4 years of £80k?

I was surprised to see he got one after only dropping £35k deposit - I guess the big finance package is worth more to them than cash?

Some manufacturers make more money from the finance than the car!!

I agree, but only with your caveat.
