[QUOTE="The JC";1375543]Sounds like propoganda to me. I don't care who you are or who at Porsche you've talked to, we won't know for sure until the car is launched.

The comments in this thread and especially Autocar's info are simply interweb speculation at its best. [QUOTE]

Well said.

Please also remember that the new price in Europe for the 991 GT3 will be roughly 150K€..second hand 3.8GT3 are sold here now for roughly 100-105K..so thats why I personally believe that 997 GT3 prices will not change so much - as the new one is considerably more expensive..if the new one was available for 120K€..then it would be a completely different matter..

Lets see - and as you say - lets use common sense ..and .
I agree with you, however, my point was more aimed at the GT3 RS 4.0. One way to keep the market for the 4L car high could be to make one more statement about it being the last of an era. It will already be the last with a Mezger block, well why not make it known that it will also be the last manual GT3. This could keep the price of a 4L constant and keep the 'addict' customers happy.

Like everyone else in this thread, I am speculating.

I understand what you're saying, and while that would be cool if the RS 4.0 became truly the last of an era, I doubt Porsche really cares that much, as they don't make any money themselves on the used market.
