It is no secret when it comes to getting an allocation for a rare, limited-edition supercar, it isn’t just a matter of walking into a dealership with a suitcase full of money, chances are you won’t even be able to buy the car because you aren’t ‘on the list’ at that certain automaker, you have to have an established relationship with the manufacturer, which usually means you’ll have been a client for a while now and have a good standing with the local dealership, which translates into ‘having bought several new cars already’ before you will even be considered to get a position on the list for a special model.
This is true for just about every make out there, you can buy a standard Porsche 911, Ferrari entry-level, or a Lamborghini base model if you have enough money or good credit, but you won’t be able to get your hands on a limited-edition model from either of those makes, without reverting to paying a massive premium to obtain a contract from someone who has one on order, and even then it can happen that the factory actually gets in the way by asking clients to sign a contract that states you are not allowed to sell the car within a few years of taking delivery of it.
And when it comes to Porsche, the story is somewhat the same, as explained by Chris in the latest VINwiki video:
