My dealer told me it was due to the model year change where they always put their prices up by 2%. Assume that’s the base cost. The cars are unlikely to be delivered in the current model year.

A 'normal' inflation adjustment of (say 2%) is probably not unreasonable (albeit still c. £3k), although you'd have thought that Porsche would have already factored this in to the base price quoted at the launch, so everyone pays the same.

However, there was mention elsewhere of a £10k increase which would sting somewhat more!

Stunning motor - congrats on the allocation.

I personally dislike the wheel pinstripe and would love to see it on silver wheels, but as pointed out above just getting an allocation gives anyone in such a fortunate position carte blanche to do whatever TF they want!!

Never known of this before seems quite bizarre tbh.

Having said that P can change the price anytime they like as per the conditions of sale on the order sheet.

Congrats on the allocation btw the car looks great in Guards like my GT4 although like others have commented the black wheels detract imo.

I think the price is getting carried away with the letters customers were given prior to a no deal Brexit quoting tarrifs.No way will there be an increase from Porsche and why would they after giving a price on launch.

Ha ha that’s mad, not seen that for a long time but while I was configuring the GT3 I did think of the FQ !! ????

I sold it to a guy in Bath who then sold it to another guy who lives in my town who was apparently doing a full restoration on it. That was a few years ago now, wonder if I'll ever see it around haha.

Fair play, will be worth a few quid now. Crazy what’s happened to the prices !!

So here it is with silver wheels, I really like the silver apart from the straight on side shot, I’ll try black wheels with no pin stripe tomorrow

Are satin platinum no longer available. Prefer them to silver with Guards.

No, you can get ‘DarkSilver’ which I think is similar?

Now we're talking. Perfect spec with FOC GR paint and GR brakes with these new Gold rims.

Satin black on my Guards Red GT3. I think it works well with the black lower lip, wing end plates and black PDLS headlights. I think black wheels would be great with the CF roof.

Congratulations on the allocation, it seems there will be very few this year. I'm hoping for one next year.

Yes dark silver looks like the new name for satin platinum going off that shot.

On an Agate car with Carbon roof, do you think DarkSilver or Black would be best?
