Wonder what people think the market/order book will look like when the new GT3 is released late this year?

I suspect the speculator brigade won’t be seen for dust as overs are hopefully a thing of the past and possibly many enthusiasts will not go through as they won’t be in a position to do so. Or will the cars actually be oversubscribed as usual....?

If your business is in Hospo, accomodation or is in someway linked to international visitors and general tourism you are looking at a P&L wipe out this and all of next. This event will change the way we travel well into the future and Island nations like NZ and UK will not see the free movement of folk across the boarders until well after a vaccine has been implimented if indeed an effective one can be found.

Its not just the above busineeses that will suffer and many will fold, its also all the industries that supply those businesses. For example on of my suppliers is already on his knees because the three large hotel chains he supplies bathroom consumerables for has shut its doors until October.

Of course there are many in the finance and IT secord who will be untouched and also some that make very good from this chaos but the effects will have long reach and be felt for at least 18-24 months probably more...

Interesting comments and I agree - this is going to be a long game and also change the way many things are done/people behave for years to come.

Very interesting thread - when hard core Porsche guys are all a bit “meh, don’t think I will bother” it’s a sea change from where things were even very recently.

I think the whole thing about rocking up to work in a brand new bewinged 911 is another real consideration especially in a post lockdown recession world.

While I like the idea in principle of going backwards and getting an air cooled - my old daily driver 993 was hardly a paragon of reliability, so not sure that I seriously want to go back there again! Although such a car is lot less likely to raise eyebrows or comments in the work car park.

Reading this thread Sounds like the Touring will potentially be very popular this time around.

Leaves me wondering about the values of those ones currently advertised - the range is bonkers £150K to £200K.... massive correction coming for many of these cars?

Going back to a pure car question.... how do people think they will divvy up the allocation of Touring V big wing and on the previous touring could you go full Club Sport inside if you wanted (cage and buckets) despite the understated exterior?

Any guesses on base price for the new car?
