Porsche has had customer commitments for all 500 units of its 911 GT2 RS model being built.
The German sports car brand said that in the US alone, Porsche has pre-sold 133 911 GT2 RS cars, all of which will be delivered to owners in February 2011.
The model made its worldwide debut less than two months ago at the Moscow Auto Show.
In late September, preliminary results showed that Porsche ended its financial year with turnover growth of 17.9% to EUR7.79bn on unit sales up 8.8% to 81,850.
At the time, outgoing chairman Michael Macht said he expects more growth following the launch of the 911 Speedster and Carrera GTS. The Cayenne remained Porsche’s best selling line at 29,855 units, down 12.9% due partly to the spring model changeover.
Overall sales of the 911 “were negatively affected by the continuing difficult economic conditions facing the sports-car market,” Porsche said, explaining the 27.4% fall to 19,663 units. Boxster sales dipped 10.8% to 11,717 units.
