992 GT3 price increase

[peeler]

I’m very fortunate to of been offered a 992 GT3 I went to my local OPC yesterday to build the car which I’m really excited about but I was told that the price is going to go up but they don’t know how much by !! The car is already around £15k more than the fully specced 991.2 so I’m a little confused

Does anyone know how much the increase will be and what’s it based on??

Thanks

I’ve got for the red, I think it looks awesome with the black bits

Thanks for the replies, I’m really happy with the colour combo and I never thought I would of choose GR but with the carbon roof and back end it seems to work perfectly

This is the email regarding the price increase

Thought I recognised the username! You do like red cars.

Ha ha that’s mad, not seen that for a long time but while I was configuring the GT3 I did think of the FQ !! 👍🏼

I sold it to a guy in Bath who then sold it to another guy who lives in my town who was apparently doing a full restoration on it. That was a few years ago now, wonder if I'll ever see it around haha.

Fair play, will be worth a few quid now. Crazy what’s happened to the prices !!

So here it is with silver wheels, I really like the silver apart from the straight on side shot, I’ll try black wheels with no pin stripe tomorrow

Are satin platinum no longer available. Prefer them to silver with Guards.

Just satin black with or without pin stripes, gold and silver

Dug these out, it was very pretty especially in its day

Peeler that is a lovely car , what did you get after that
I have an EVO VI (owned it since new ) . Now also got a GT4 but thinking of selling the VI for a 911

I pretty much stuck with various RS Evo’s over the years, I tried other cars but always went back I loved how raw and capable the Evo’s are. I do trackdays and try to get out to Spa and the ring. I did buy the new GT4 last year as a stepping stone towards a GT3 that was a great car but I never reached the running in miles even though I had it for year !! So I didn’t get to really use it properly or on track

Satin black on my Guards Red GT3. I think it works well with the black lower lip, wing end plates and black PDLS headlights. I think black wheels would be great with the CF roof.

Congratulations on the allocation, it seems there will be very few this year. I'm hoping for one next year.

I really like the gaurds red, there’s a GR GT2 close by and in the flesh it’s absolutely stunning

I’m a sucker for the ‘Murdered out’ black look....

But get others points about the 992 having lots of black plastic, therefore might look better in a brighter colour...

Me and my son had decided we were going black as per the test mule as it looks amazing and with red callipers and a couple of touches I thought we’d cracked it, then we started playing with the configurator and it all changed :-)

I’ve always loved a white GT3 too even more so a RS with the black bits but for some reason I’m not feeling it on the 992 !

Is configuring a 992 GT3 at your local OPC an essential journey? or an essential retailer....

Oh well least it was your local one.

No lockdown here bud, or speed limits for that matter

I’m very lucky to live on the IOM

FFS Holy Thread Jack

This is a thread about the increase in Porsche prices not one about look at the EVO I owned in 1827, you get my point

I do hope that’s a joke coming from you ?! Every thread I read with you on I see 1000 pics of the cars you own even if the thread is about tumble dryers !!

FFS if you're getting one put some effort in, its a GT Car

That looks stunning , I for one really like the 992. I was a huge fan of the 991.1/2 RS in white with the blacks bits but that’s one of the colours I don’t like with the 992

They’re all stunners IMO

But back on topic do you know what increase Porche is adding on to the final price ?? Mines £142k and I’m hearing another 10% which I really hope isn’t the case, is this to do with taxes etc now we’ve left the eu??

Let me warn you, Juno's skin is so thick it makes elephants' look like paper. In fact Juno has more dead skin cells than live ones.

I know him from other forums mate

The spec of the Green car above was £151k ish but I think worth every penny

There are no additional taxes as a result of Brexit on cars

Edited by Juno on Sunday 21st February 23:18

There is going to be additional costs on top of your £151k that’s what the whole thread is about, I posted a screenshot from Porche about this

The watch wasn’t compulsory for me ?! I have the 1st car my OPC is getting

Unless I will be told this at a later date
