Don't forget the 'manuels' figures include Tourings too Richard.
Interesting there are now just 20 winged gen 2s for sale at OPCs.
As expected it appears the flippers went for PDK as there are 15 PDKs but only 5 'manuels' listed for sale of varying spec and price. Looks like we enthusiasts are hanging on to theirs.
Of these 5 cars only 1 is good spec CS but with steels in rather marmite Miami with red stitching, the remaining 4 are either poor spec have steels and or non buckets.
Asking prices remain static between £140k for poor spec non cs car with 11k miles through top £150ks to top £160ks for the proper spec sub 3k miles cars.
Colours: Gt silver 6, Miami 3, Crayon 2, Red 2, White 2, Sapphire 1, Graphite 1, Yellow 1, Black 1, Agate grey 1.

No wonder no one has a clue - need a degree in “how many left” to follow that 
Surprised there are more manuals than PDK’s. - doesn’t feel like that looking at how many for sale - I guess maybe manuals are less likely to be flipped maybe - who knows

GT cars seem in abundance to something like a Boxster GTS, was only 2 for sometime in OPC stock, now they have 3, and JZM have one so 4 in total. Why are BGTS numbers so little compared to any other modern day Porsche?
Not sure - that one at JZM had been there for months , I really like the colour, just not the price JayK12 said:

Could it be due to the fact many were bought to try and make a few £ rather than to be used. Market changing and now these people are happy to more on as the car was never bought to drive unlike the average gts buyer who actually buys the car to use and enjoy. Possibility?

I bought mine for the intention of driving as a weekend car, have looked around and can't find anything else that I think is worth the extra money after a test drive and don't like paying overs. So it's still here, unless a 718 Spyder is allocated then it might still be here.
Or there will be loads for sale in the summer.

My understanding is that for a large scale manufacturer (e.g. Porsche) in GT4 racing the engine in the race car must be the same as the road car. Exceptions can be made but it's rare and only likely for small volume manufacturers.Whatever engine the race car is launched with today is the one the road car will have.

Yes should be interesting. As they told me, it's a 4 litre, strong up to 6k revs.Whatever engine the race car is launched with today is the one the road car will have.
They said they've put a lot of work into it and that it was 'new'. I'd imagine that it'll have a lot of what the 3.8 had but just a few new developments.
I'm in no way expecting it to rev like a GT3 unit but still, should be good and faster than the current car which is a good thing. Not that its slow, it could just do with another 50bhp, which is hopefully what it might get?

Most of the projections have been that if it’s the 4.0, it will have similar rev limit as the 3.8 or maybe chopped to 7500. Just that the curves will all be moved up as a result of the increase in displacement. Gearing will remain the same.
We only have to look at the 4.0 conversions to get a view.
If they do 4.0 + X51 powerkit type work then it will be interesting… will they also increase the rev limit? as they traditionally do with the power kit.
Not long to go before we hear about the power plant.
