Hi - there is currently a stop-sale on buckets for non-GT cars.

Posting here in case anyone has heard when buckets may be coming back.

Must be that they are trying to produce and sale as many GT3 RS as they can, so buckets are being re-routed to the GT3 RS? Maybe?

That's right. It also seems like there are supply chain issues as well. Not clear when buckets will be made available again.

I'm really disappointed. My search for my own new 911 is taking so long.

At least I bought a used one while I wait but sold it when I got this allocation so now I'm back to being without a 911 and waiting without any clear ETA...

That also explains why Porsche has not released any allocations for GT3, they are trying to get allocations for the GT3 RS. I have an order for a GT3, but was told that no allocations for this year or next. They really want that GT3 RS out really bad.

My SA at a very large dealership said they will not be receiving any more GT3 allocations until a year into the 992.2.

They may be getting some surprise GT3 allocations but the production has shifted from GT3 to GT3RS.

My GT3 order locked in January and the LWB Seats and PCCBs were both on constraint. Remaining GT3 allocations for 2023 MY will be in the very low hundreds as production shifts to other 992 end of life models.

The next GT3 for North America will likely be a 2026 MY available for order in late 2025. There are a good number of pre-owned 992 GT3s for sale and prices will continue to correct during the coming months.


992 GT3 -6 Speed - Shark Blue
991.2 GT3 -6 Speed - GT Silver
997.1 GT3 -6 Speed - Carrara White
