4.0 GTS build slots ?

Not correct Adrian. Not sure where you heard that from. The work around that porsche 'may' have would be to make the speed limit display and/or cruise as standard. Of course this will probably mean a price increase but it is what it is I suppose. Any unsold cars on site at the dealership must have a 'speed limiter' or 'speed display' retrofitted by July 2024.
An article I read also stated that although the limiter/display must be fitted, it doesn't necessarily need to be activated.

In the words of my OPC they are ‘managing expectations’ on build slots for the GTS which in short means you may not get one. If you’re willing to take the risk fair enough. Failing that it may be worth having a look at other options that are available ‘as new’. They may be your best bet on getting one.
Chaps,
At the back end of last year my tame salesman at Hatfield said that the Cayman GTS is on run-out supply now, with production finishing around May 2024, but I’m dubious that’s the case given that: a) the Porsche salesforce IMO never seems to be any better informed than we are; and b) the 718’s EV replacement isn’t due until some time next year [optimistic perhaps given the delays to the introduction of the Macan EV?] and Porsche have indicated that - as with the Macan - the ICE 718 initially will be produced in parallel with the electric cars. While Porsche can continue to make money from the 718 they will do so, even if it requires some tweaks to satisfy regulatory conformance. Of course it doesn’t mean that all variants will be produced.
Apparently the electric cars will be built alongside the 992s at Stuttgart, but since Cayman production is concentrated at Osnabrück my guess is that all the 718-series cars will continue to be built there, but who knows?
Just my tuppence worth of course.

Thanks for correction. I am waiting a build slot so let’s see what happens
be mad to buy new then to your spec imo , I just got a GTS £17k off RRP ! for a demo add in dealer margin, you buy new you loose £27k in 3 months.
