718 GT4 To Hit The UK Roads
Discussion
Hi,
I’m currently awaiting the delivery of the new 718 GT4, in Ireland.
As much as I am grateful that I was offered one of the first few slots in Ireland, i’m like a spoilt child eagerly awaiting for it... one can only keep Googling photos of it for so long :-)
When I paid the deposit and finalised my order 8-9 weeks ago, Porsche told me that it would likely arrive end of September / start of October, however when I contacted them this week, they still didn’t have any update on a date, so I guess it will be November at best, as usually I received a formal date 2 months out from delivery, on previous Porsche’s.
Has anyone heard when they are expected to arrive in the UK, as like many other things, Ireland are usually a few weeks behind the UK :-)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks guys... sorry, what do you mean 'on sale' date?
Porsche Ireland also said that I would have to register the car when it arrived, and that I couldn't hold back for a January (2020) reg. Doesn't mean much in the UK, but in Ireland, no one would ever buy a new car in the last 4 months of the year... however this car is not one that will particularly depreciate, as soon as it enters 2020.

Can't see the point in delaying. I will take delivery at the earliest opportunity.
Ok, the number plate system in Ireland is very much based on the year, so if you register a 2019 car in December... the car is perceived as a year old a month later (January 2020).It doesn't affect a somewhat 'rare' car as this, but any other car would loose significant value.

Hi oo7ml,
Bought my GT4 in Dublin, my car had a build slot in November 2015 and the car was delivered/registered early January 2016. From what I heard you're in for a great car, am happy for you. I'll be taking mine to Kirkistown this Saturday for a track day with the Porsche Club, coming from Dunlops can't hardly wait to try a new set of Cup 2s

Porsche Dublin have informed me that the car needs to be registered this year... I presume because of slot availability, etc, so i'll just have to respect that.
The 718 GT4 should be a great car BUT there is not much of a difference in a 981 GT4 and 718 GT4, purely because the 981 GT4 has already set such a high benchmark :-)
