991 Turbo Release Date?

[pilchardthecat]

Does anyone know the planned launch date for the new Turbo?

[dmcrobin]

In about 2 years time

No announcement, seems to look like orders start in Q4 2012 for Q1 2013 delivery.

Interesting, thanks.

What happened to 996tt used prices when the 997tt came along?

To be fair the purpose of the thread is residuals hoping to get into a 997 this year

Well I think you'll get a good deal whenever you try to purchase. Arguably, if the 991 doesn't take off in sales terms, now might not be a lot worse than in a year's time.

997.2 PDK turbo seems to be holding it's price quite respectably i thought

[pilchardthecat]

I'll be looking at the 997.1 model, first year or two of production.

Also keen on this topic, looking to get into a 7TT ASAP but hopefully in the 30s for an early one. Not bothered about PDK so a first gen mezger isfine by me.

Also as im currently in. 6TT how low can they go do we think? 4 sec to 60, 190s top end - 15k is just too cheap!! Haha i would say that tho

I should imagine Porsche have got a lot of new product to launch over the next couple of years - 991 C4, 981 Boxster, 981 Cayman, 991 GT3, 991 Turbo, not to mention keeping the Panamera and Cayenne fresh.

Think the 993, 996 and 997 Turbos were launched a couple of years after the C2 variants, so I would expect Geneva 2013 would be the soonest, but cars coming through later in that year. Isn't there an expectation that the next Turbo will be positioned closer in price to the 458 and Maclaren?

I was told Q2 2013 by my OPC.

Top Gear mag suggests more 991 variants from March 2012.

Not sure if this includes the Turbo.
