I'm sure that your SE is right. There are usually deals to be had on the tail end of the current model when the new model is on the horizon.

However I really struggled to get a build slot from Jan this year , yes I could have got a GTS or T but nearly everything else was built to order.

Any update on your build completion date, spook?

Saw my SE today and mine's moved forward, by one day! Now 19th March is showing on the screen.

I suppose the 992 is simply a heavily updated 991 as is he usual thing with the 911 ie 964/993, 996/997 and now the 991/992 twins, updated interior and a front and rear update. If you ask me the 991.1 to 991.2 drive train update was arguably a much more significant change.

I agree. Naturally aspirated to turbocharged = seismic change.

The next BIG change will be the introduction of a hybrid 911.

Not sure how much room there is for batteries in the current 991/992 chassis remembering it was developed ten years ago when hybrid wasn't on the 911s horizon. Might have to wait until the next full new model before getting a proper hybrid

I think that's the key - there won't be the usual deals because there is no supply. Be interesting to see what cars are produced after the factory shutdown - will it be any 991.2 normal variants, just Turbos, just GTs, just specials (e.g. Speedster), nothing...I guess it won't be too long before we find out.
Current Porsches: 991.2 GT3 RS
Previous Porsches: Macan x4 (one of each), Panamera x2, 996x2, 997x2, Cayenne S, Boxster S, Cayman S x2, Boxster Spyder, 991.1 Turbo S, 991.2 GT3 (manual), 718 Cayman GTS (PDK)
Others: way too many...
