the reason Porsche is doing this differently because they can see GT3 variant at 2-2.5 times the actual retail price of the car by limiting production campaign. The only way to counter this corruption is for Sports car enthusiasts to move away from the 911 and go with other comparable sports car brand like corvette, GTR, M4, Lotus, McLaren or Audi R8
Why bother upgrading to a .2 gt3 when it will likely only be very small incremental differences.. If you have one, I'd recommend keeping your 992.1 GT3 unless you like wasting money
I don't think you understand ownership of GT cars my friend. People will definitely be looking to upgrade form the .1 to .2, just like they have with the 997s, 991s and now the 992s. Including myself.
Porsche’s aluminum supplier was flooded. There is not an actual shortage of the metal. FYI, perform an internet search… It is common knowledge, especially amongst anyone whom has ordered a 992 in the last several months.
Only makes sense to go 4.2L, its time to make that engine even more spectacular! 9300 rpm. That’s the latest 911 race car spec if I remember correctly? And If history repeats itself from Porsche. They have had a good run on the 4.0 since 2012. Time for a displacement bump. Last na engine will eventually hit the 10k rpm from Porsche! That would be sweet! We still got a couple more generations (model 994 is next) of N/A engines thanks to the Porsche gods!
Not happening - same engine with tiny HP bump and no torque change. Rev limit the same, Lots of reasons for this. The 992 is a total snooze fest, they had to quicken the rack rate to make it vaguely interesting.
Yes, that’s the engine in the latest 911 GT3 R. That makes sense to me also. I’ve been hoping for this myself. I think there is a chance. You’re right about them sticking with the 4.0 for quite a long time. It’s time for an additional 0.2 liters again, like when they went from the 3.8 to the 4.0. There really isn’t much more to be squeezed out of the 4.0.
Well if Deman was able to bump all the way up to 4.5 liters and producing 560 hp, Porsche is going to do the same but in small increments. Good way to keep the upgrade train going.
Newsflash. Porsche have decided they are going to follow in others footsteps. Eg They are going to up production of all GT cars ( RS included ) and price them higher to stop the flipping. They will have the premiums that have been placed on them for themselves. They will never announce just how many cars of whichever GT range will be built.
No problem. I’ll just tell my local Porsche center to build my GT3 with the RS magnesium wheels, and be sure to spec the carbon fiber roof and carbon fiber interior trim. Problem solved lol.
Is a 25% price increase over the last few years for the 911 model line up justified? Is paying 20k extra to upgrade the ugly base model's rims, interior, paint and front bumper justified for items that cost next to nothing for Porsche to upgrade? Porsche has gone nuts since going public. Don't be fooled on resale either, unless you own a special model you are likely to own that 911 for life if you don't at some point sell it at wholesale.
The manufacturers should have pushed back earlier on the anti-ICE pressure in Europe and the US. Created a monster with prices of European ICE performance cars continuing to exit earth orbit. Now Porsche can use this and the aluminum shortage as fodder to lower availability of GT product. In the US, this means huge ADM's, flipping, and all the gamesmanship your stomach can handle. I am done with this mess. Standing pat with my 992.1 GTS manual for now. As much as I want an NA flat-6 manual 911 GT product, am waving white flag. I would encourage others to stick with CPO and other avenues in the used market, as will I if opportunity presents itself.
I hear what you’re saying. But the 992 Carrera GTS is already quite pricey, especially if you check a lot of options boxes. If yours is low miles, it will still have a lot of value and might not be too much of a stretch to trade in for a 992.1 GT3. I’ve already seen plenty at 5k miles or less going for around $240k on various online platforms. Like the presenter said, 992.1 GT3 prices will only drop further when the 992.2 GT3 is announced and owners start unloading their .1s.
Note for the content publisher: The new Ford Mustang GT's mpg is laughable. This week I chased one in my M4 and could not stop laughing at how much noise the Mustang made while trying to accelerate, sounded like it was ready to blow. It also was no faster than my last series M4 as it was easy to catch the Mustang GT with its peddle to the metal.
Porsche NEEDS to separate GT2 and GT2RS. When the 992 GT3 first came out I already thought the wing was enough but they were crazy enough to put a bigger wing on the GT3RS. If they make a GT2 (non-rs) it'd be perfect. Just like the 997 GT2 and GT2RS.

There was a flood at their only sheet metal supplier, all over the German news outlets. They even made a public statement about how they have to cut sales forecasts because of it.
How is the new 911 selling? Can you get numbers and talk about that. I'm wondering how the public is reacting to the lack luster 992.2 base and hybrid GTS.
I mean yeah, the GT2 will be released in 2026, they’re not going to unveil it anytime soon. The GT3 update will come first as they’re already rolling out the .2 models.
@@inmortal131 the GT3 RS was and still is being mass produced, over 8000 have been built which is way higher than any other previous generation. So yup, they will depreciate heavily once the next gen comes out.
So Porsche makes more $ on GT3's than other cars in their lineup (as well as other 911's) due to the options and customization, and the 911 uses less aluminum than the SUV's and sedans - so why again would they not make more GT3's? This hypothesis doesn't make business sense.
Legally Porsche has a limit on how many performance cars they can make and they need to offset it by selling electric vehicles. They can’t just churn out 10,000 GT3’s without selling 10,000 EVs to offset them. They are high performance cars that have a ton of regulations. That’s why they force you to buy Taycans to get a GT3 RS allocation.
Yes, Porsche is currently facing production issues due to a shortage of aluminum alloys. This shortage stems from a flood at a key European supplier's facility, which disrupted the supply chain. As a result, Porsche has lowered its sales and profitability outlook for 2024, with potential losses of around 10,000 vehicles. This shortage affects aluminum body parts used in all of Porsche's car models, leading to broader production challenges across the company(Automotive Logistics. ). You said: Is there an aluminum shortage in general ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Currently, there isn't a global aluminum shortage; the market is expected to see a surplus in 2024. Several factors, however, influence production and supply. China, which produces a significant share of the world's aluminum, faces potential disruptions due to energy shortages in key regions like Yunnan, which relies on hydropower. This could limit China's production growth. However, China’s imports have been high, driven by demand for green energy initiatives and electric vehicles, keeping its aluminum supply relatively strong. In Europe, aluminum production remains constrained due to high energy prices, with restarts unlikely until 2025. Meanwhile, Russia's aluminum output continues despite sanctions, but many Western buyers are self-sanctioning, causing shifts in supply chains(ING Think )(Metal Trader )(Techopedia ). In short, while production challenges exist in certain regions, the global market remains surplus, with no immediate aluminum shortage expected.
".. Aluminum shortage"?? Ya right.. It's should HERE'S. Why not fierce new 911 buyers to buy 3 or 4 FIRST?? Heh... Could apparatus butt a certified pre-owned..e we just won't be able to soec it... Then again they'll already be well outfitted...
Rear engine cars are stupid. Are 911 rear seats now an option because Porsche wants to know how upset their customers will be if they rotated the engine 180 degrees? The new 911 looks like they took an older 911 and put in a rock tumbler for a couple days, it so f-ing ugly only surpassed in being ugly by the 718.

If the engine remains the same they could improve the gearbox with shorter gearing for better acceleration, something in between gt3 and RS gearing.
