Should I buy the new 991 R and put it in storage and sell it after a few years with a huuuugggeee profit?

Only 991 will be produced.

Only 991 will be produced.

Could be a good investment, some people will wreck them beyond repair so it only gets more exclusive by the years. 991 made though, would've liked if they just made 500. What is a few years to you? Looking at the Sport Classic, in six years it's a good 100k more expensive now than it was new but they made only 250 (right?) of them.

At least 5 years. But I think that it will only become more expensive when the 911 991 R is sold out and Porsche fans, collectors are looking for a 991 R. >>> Supply and demand.


EDIT; Porsche 911 991 R is sold out according a post on a youtube clip.

 

[Stotty]

Car was sold out before it was even announced officially.

I've seen cars already advertised for €600+

 

[kikie]

I wonder why it is still possible to "build your own" Porsche 991 Ron the official Porsche website if the 991 R is already sold out.

Doesn't make any sense to have a car configurator that you can't buy anymore just to cocktease. The 991 R is on the official website and has it's own special dedicated website. That is cockteasing enough. Not the 991 R configurator.

 

[VXR]

You might get lucky and they have cancelled orders, so the option is still there for those who wish to speculate.

The last corner in Tsukuba always irritated me in Gran Turismo. Real life looks just as pants-soiling.

Only 991 will be produced.

With the current crop of GT models, you need only a year at most. RS models are commanding over $330,000.

I wonder why it is still possible to "build your own" Porsche 991 Ron the official Porsche website if the 991 R is already sold out.

For the same reason the RS is on there; it's more of an ability to see what it's available with. The code it assigns each build or print option is there afterwards to take to a dealership so they can see what you want.

If you really wanted a 911R, the dealership would have an order sheet & options document for the car.

If someone wants to build (car configurator) his/her own 991 on the Belgian Porsche website, the GT3 RS is not available.

What about a standard 991? Will a Carrera Coupé (S or not) or a C4 keep it's value? Probably not but you never know.

 

[McLaren]

For your region, it's been removed already. For us, it's still listed.

For anything below a Turbo, I wouldn't expect it to since the Carrera is the most popular 911 after all. I could see the Targa potentially holding value, but only after some years have passed. The Turbo itself doesn't normally seem to warrant a lot of demand.

I wonder why.


Ok, thanks for the help.

 

[FT-1]

For some 991.2 models, there is no replacement for displacement. The revised GT3 RS has been spied, expecting to pack a 4.2 litre n/a flat-six engine.

 

[SPhilli911]

Good, I never really liked the central exhaust thing they started doing with the 997 on. 4.2 liter, over 500 horsepower though, man I am amazed how much they are squeezing out of that platform. Stick a manual in this and people are going to go nuts.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I'm smelling a conspiracy here. I hope it's just me.


Last year, RUF has released the RGT 4.2, equipped with the NA 4.2 liter flat six generating 540 horsepower. Then that engine is also available to fit in a classic 911 bodyshell in the recently-released SCR 4.2.

Is Porsche secretly contracting RUF for testing that engine unit? I think this may be more than just selling bodyshells...

 

[ProjectWHaT]

In one of Matt Farah's podcasts, they were talking about Porsche engines and how Porsche has said that they won't go above 4.0 because they deem it won't be reliable. If the 4.2 is the same as the RUF's, then that'll be quite an accomplishment for both RUF and Porsche.

They forgot how since EA didn't help code the website...

Porsche has said a lot of things that they've ended up falling back on. So, I'm sure they'll have found reliability somewhere and thus go forth if the 4.2 is a reality.

 

[Stotty]

The car above is a 991 GT2RS mule, not the gen 2 991RS.

I remember something similar being said by one of Porsche's own a few years ago. It might've been Preuninger himself, even. Basically, the flat-six couldn't reliably be enlarged past 4.0L.

Of course, that was the old Mezger. I wonder if the new block is a different situation. Or hey, maybe with the slightly larger 991 body, they can go for a smaller per-cylinder displacement, and bump it up to a flat-8. C'mon, Porsche.

Can't afford a 911 GT3 RS? I guess a Lego version will do.

I love the central exhaust.. I mean..

 

[SPhilli911]

That does look good. I don't exactly hate the central exhaust, just prefer the exhaust off to the sides. In any case, I don't think they will be ditching the central exhaust on the GT3, rumor is that test car above is the GT2.

1st review I've seen of the 991R, plus a video of Catchpole doing 200mph on the Autobahn.

And that's yours truly in the passenger seat. Feels even quicker in the car than it looks on video...

Disappointed that nobody in the video comments has asked about our "satnav" sellotaped to the dashboard
