Sadly so. Respect, but my only problem with that solution is now, you have a brand new car with an engine swap.

So the car goes from being "Made in Germany" to "Assembled in XYZ."

If I were them, I'd rather offer clients the options of a buy back and re-order the car.

agreed.....it will never feel the same, I personally would like the option of my money back or a new car to start a fresh experience....I'm sure all the cost of this is covered by a product insurance of some kind. this offer would help re build the bridge's that are broken. wonder what happens if the customer isn't happy with the engine swap!

I bet a bunch aren't happy. I bet many walk. This won't be smooth. They have 785 different problems right now.

Maybe Porsche could offer all 785 MY14 GT3 owners new MY15 GT3's as replacements.An extended warranty could be offered as compensation.

Porsche could then offer the MY14's to the secondary market sans engine for $65K to help offset costs.

How does that sound?

Sounds reasonable. So I bet they don't do it. Offering a manual was reasonable. They didn't do it.

There is no way in hell Porsche would sell cars sans engines and soon thereafter have 785 bastardized GT3's running around of their newest sports car. This whole ordeal for Porsche is one big sunk cost.
