My local OPC has informed me that they have a cancelled order 991 turbo S in the showroom for sale.
They cannot get hold of any more of these until middle of next year- if anyone is interested private message me and I will tell you who to contact.

Saw my first 1 today in Knightsbridge..
Didn't feel the air ducts worked particularly well visually.
Maybe I need to become more accustomed to it.
Car was white..

They have only just arrived mate. The 2 Tonbridge cars arrived around 2 weeks ago.

Judging by past experience, each OPC will carry at least 1 Turbo and 1 Turbo S each as demonstrators.

They need to shift around 150 per year across the network....

What they mean is that they won't need any more stock until the middle of next year. I asked my OPC how long it would take if I ordered one today. Answer: 6-8 weeks

Anyone pushed any of the dealers with the cancelled turbo s cars to see how low are they willing to go for a sale?

Surely OPCs are not discounting the turbo already?

I doubt any dealer will be discounting this model, even at this time of year. Please by all means go out and try, i'd be interested in what response you get. Facts are the model was just launched and dealers got 2013 allocation which they took. Some dealers still have cars and some dont. To add some balance when I spoke to my nearest two dealers (about other things) they told they have sold their allocation and could get one sometime next year. So no, all dealers do not have one as some people like to think.

Anyway why is everyone so obsessed with this car? yes it will depreciate like everything else. It makes me laugh that those same people that belittle the car now, cant wait for it to be in their price range. Facts are the car is excellent and porsche did a good job with it. If its priced too high then whats the big deal? people are buying them.

This place is really odd, people like to spend a lot of time posting about anything bar the actual car (maybe because they havent even driven one). funny old place...............

I thought about changing my GT3 order to a Turbo S a couple of weeks ago as my circumstances have changed slightly and a four seater would have been useful, was offered one for February built to spec with a healthy discount.

In the end decided to stick with the GT3 and buy a run around.

I'm surprised by the "healthy discount". I am what could be described as a good customer with the same OPC for the last 5 years and have bought quite a few new cars with them in that time and I have been given no indication at all that there is any discount to be had on the Turbo S at the moment. How much discount did they offer you?
