Not new information, but does suggest a difference in sound back to back with the 981 GT4.
If that’s the same Insta vid I’ve seen recently, I’d say it was near on impossible to differentiate ANY of the exhaust sounds, as there were a number of cars idling at the same time.... All adds to the mounting excitement, I guess...!!Not new information, but does suggest a difference in sound back to back with the 981 GT4.
Thanks for indulging me re the GT4 list!
Makes very interesting reading, I have an LOI in and have had for several months, however given a lack of buying history and the general perception being that unless your a serial purchaser you have NO chance I was beginning to question if there was any point in waiting to be told no, and should I just buy something else now.
However, the insight provided around potential criteria and how others who are in a similar position have secured cars actually encourages a glimmer of hope, so perhaps I will wait it out, I am not overly optimistic, but enough so to wait a few months. - Cheers

1. LOI? Means nothing formal, just showing interest.
2. Car formally released (sometimes to dealers in advance by a few days)
3. Car appears on Porsche UK website plus configurator
4. Bun fight ensues for the limited allocations the OPC has
5. OPC asks for deposit and spec via configurator
6. Customer receives confirmed order and paperwork - this is key, no paperwork then no confirmed order
7. Car is built
Usually there's an initial allocation and more appear over time, so it's a continuous process.

In reality nobody knows.
Could be Frankfurt September or Geneva next March.
Agree. I would guess Frankfurt or later this year. I'am pretty sure we won't see anything at Geneva this year which is next week. Don't think think we'll see any physical GT4s until middle/late 2019.Could be Frankfurt September or Geneva next March.

Time frame between steps 2 & 6? (Ball park)
If you're allocated a car in the initial batch? As soon as you've paid your £10k deposit and specced the car. Same day in some instances I guess.Time frame between steps 2 & 6? (Ball park)
If you're waiting for an allocation slot, it can be months. The 981 GT4 allocations were mostly made over a 6 - 9 month period during 2015.
No point launching another car at Geneva 2018 that they can't build until September (due to the factory closure). Well I suppose they could launch and take deposits, but you most likely won't get one until September at the earliest.
FWIW, I can see it being in the summer (Goodwood or Paris). With deliveries at the end of 2018.
I have a racing yellow gt4 with buckets which I have to shift, will look to put that up for sale around Easter time.
