They are then building the Cup S (440hp) for FIA-GT3 and national series, will be deliverd in April, some 10 cars or more?
And then the 08 version of the RSR EVO, like 10-15 cars there too?
Now thats 3 new models and a crapload of cars that needs to be built and deliverd in April at latest. Add to that the RS Spyders and the they have some serious overtime to do.
Porsche builds this season around 260 GT3 Cups cars for the national Cups and the Supercup. Production started in autumn last year, the ones for Australian Carrera Cup for example have been shipped in early December.

The RSR´s are currently under construction, first customers expect their cars within the next week. Porsche plans about 35 `08 spec cars. Most of the customers Spyder´s were already built in November and early December.

But production of the GT3 Cup race cars and the RSR / RS Spyders take place in different units. So they will have some overtime, but not as much as you would think.
