Really tempted in to getting one of these beasts (moving from a 458) however Im not too sure if this is a ltd edition run model as there seem to be so many up for sale at the moment (around 50 in the UK). Can you still order one from the factory or are they sold out (coupe). I also can't figure out if all these cars on sale in the UK are being sold above list?

Production of the Perf Coupe ends in Spring, with the launch of the facelift Huracan.

Given the lead times, and some current delays, I think you'll struggle to get a new order for one for much longer, if at all.

Can't order new coupes, in fact a 2019 couple will be pretty rare seeing how not many are been produced. No one has an exact number of how many HP's were produced but looking at the AG financial statements it's safe to assume that the number might be less than the Speciale.

Probably a high mileage or base spec'd HP at that price.

Using howmanyleft as a source, 127 in the UK as of end of June 2018, up from 76 end of March. Given the August shutdown, and a number of delays to September/October cars that I know of, plus introduction of Spyder deliveries, I don't think there will be as big a jump in Q3 and Q4 of the numbers.

Wow if there are 127 in the UK it's alarming to see how many are up for sale (I have counted around 50-53 across various websites)! I think I will wait a little as these may well drop below £200k by the end of this year.

That’s probably half the number of Speciales registered, so while the market might be currently ‘interesting’, long term these will be a reasonable bet imo....

Doesn't quite answer your question but i have one and i absolutely ADORE mine!!! A few months ago the dealer asked if i was open to it being "available" for sale bcos he had people for them. The ones sticking seemed to have suspect specs, eg: no nose lift.

Rumour has it at least 100 more coupes are being pushed into the UK market (maybe to use the current chassis up before new model release next year) and dealer incentives will be possible.

Unlikely to be about using the "current chassis" up. New model is only a facelift so chassis will be the same.

The line will keep producing the same number of Huracan units regardless up until the model change so if they are pushing more into the UK and offering incentives it would suggest weak demand in other markets relative to the UK.

High mileage ! everyone is selling theirs and not using them

Lol, it's not a new model it's a mid-cycle refresh. There's pictures of the refresh floating around, basically a new front/rear and interior upgrades. And allocation in the US for the coupe is non-existent so no idea why they would be dumping a 100 coupes into the the UK market. No idea where you heard such a ridiculous rumor.

Doubt the HP will drop £50k and the car next year is only a refresh, not a brand new model.

You can still order new from some dealers, they won’t be taking orders much longer and I am hoping the prices will firm up like they did with the Speciale when they stopped production.

Speaking to a couple of main dealers the HP’s with the comfort seats are selling quicker than those with the carbon bucket seats due to how uncomfortable they are- Mine has the buckets and they are pretty hard to live with when driving for over 30 minutes.

You can definitely order new coupe or spyder. My dealer asked me yesterday.

There are plenty for sale with lift and adaptive suspension, etc. The main sticking point seems to me that most of them have carbon bucket seats.

Porsche buckets are comfortable though to more of the population!
