Almost straight away.

I'm just wondering out loud why they haven't sold , surely if all the punters whose deposits were returned by the OPC's were serious buyers rather than speculators they would have sold by now ?

Are they priced to high ?

Wrong time of year ?

Just wondering ...

£20k over list is the problem, I suspect.

My opinion is that the GT3 is an enthusiasts car rather than a Premiership Footballers posing machine hence may not fetch the "overs" that something like a 458 at launch or the forthcoming Huracan may (not to say that those are not awesome performance machines).

They both look nice but maybe the specs are not what people want? If you're going to pay overs for a GT3 wouldn't you want clubsport, bucket seats, nav, and lots of toys?

From what everyone's saying about the new car and having been too slow off the mark myself the car is worth a premium ... But not £20k ... £5 to £10 k and I would be first on the list . Looking at the spec of the Romans car not sure it has the right seats either which may discount it for many

Presumably if it's advertised at £20k premium then they accept £10-15k premium?

I am standing next to a black Clubsport which will be advertised on PH classifieds any day soon. Bigger spec, better value than the other 2 for sale.

Apolo will be along in a minute to pump up the market. They are DEFINITELY SEVEN, yes SEVEN times oversold and DEFINITELY reselling at £20k premium. The fact that these two cars are sitting unsold and there's one coming up at a better price is irrelevant. That should be the end of the matter.

The facts are you can still place a deposit, OPCs have not been told when production will end and Porsche have never said. If someone from Porsche mentioned a production number in a conversation so what...it's not a limited edition (although last time I bought into that line BMW just kept taking orders anyway).

If demand was as hot and supply as low as PH forums would have you believe these 2 cars would have sold weeks ago.

Yes, you would have thought that, at "7 times over sold", those two available GT3s would have been snapped up by the literally one thousand two hundred and fifty disappointed customers, wouldn't you?

When you say you can still place a deposit, which OPC if you don't mind me asking? And did they confirm a build slot?

My OPC isn't taking deposits and has a line of people waiting already, so they say, and didn't want my money.

Saw one at the PH Breakfast. They are huge. In comparison to the older stuff literally looked as big as a 747 but with 2 seats instead of 400. Older pork is going to carry on flying with monster size 911s coming out of Stuttgart. They look average too. They can build in all the faux character they want enthusiasts will still go and buy 996 GT3s or 964,993 RS instead or build their own bitsas. Felt a tad embarrassed telling my OPC wasn't bothered about having a look around one when offered. Not sure what all the fuss is about when you can have a964/993/996/997 GT3/RS for similar money if you're into older stuff which challenges you as a driver or Challenge Stradale, Scuderia, 458 Italia, Performante if you fancy an Italian Stallion - i'd have all of the aforementioned alternatives over a 991. rIght off to have a few. Happy New Year everyone!

Last I spoke to someone in OPC Guildford I think they were still open to the idea of taking deposits 2-3 ish weeks ago.
