Worth a watch just for the noise the engine makes 
all I know so far is a freeze date of 20th June, July build and delivery to dealer 18th August.
Obviously they are keen to point out no guarantees.
I can't remember if we've discussed here but I've heard of freeze dates being randomly pulled forward (as well as back) and its caused issues with late spec adjustments not being accepted. Don't go to the wire with final changes, imho.

Is it confirmed that crayon is the same as chalk? I just changed my 911TTS order from chalk with espresso to carrera white with black/Bordeaux because most of the pics I've seen of chalk, mostly on the panamera, have a very beige hue to it. But in this video, I'm starting to see the magic of crayon (and hopefully its chalk)WassyUSA said:

I really want to have the balls to go yellow if I can't get PTS !

Crayon is Chalk or vice versa. I'd agree with the beige hue....I saw a Panamera earlier this week in Crayon and I don't think that video is a good representation of it. If it actually looked like that I'd be tempted.
Also agree with the lairy car/lairy colour sentiments ! I really want to have the balls to go yellow if I can't get PTS !
That's my point. If it looked like this, I'd switch back to chalk. But I have yet to see one that looks like that in pictures at least. Also agree with the lairy car/lairy colour sentiments ! I really want to have the balls to go yellow if I can't get PTS !

My OPC sales contact has said similar ....he's advised that late spec changes close to lock down can cause build dates to be pushed back. In the case of a GT3 where there are a lot less production slots to play with you can imagine that instead of delaying they just refuse. Obviously they are keen to point out no guarantees.

Hi Wassy, I've ordered a 718 CS in Crayon/Chalk, I only got to see the colour sample at my dealership and it looked very much like this when I took the sample outside : https://www.autogespot.co.uk/porsche-991-turbo-s-m...Inside the dealership it looked very grey which I liked too, it's gonna be a colour that varies greatly from day to night and overcast to sunny.
Cheers

Pictures of pretty much every PTS 911 R or GT3 RS and more yo could wish to find. If you have a look at Rennlist there are threads literally 100's of pages long about PTS cars...there's a bloke who posts on there called Eduardo who knows more about it than most OPC's.
Apaprently OPC's have a list but you aren't allowed to have a copy of it at least that seems to be the rule in the US. I believe Mayfair, Hatfield, Solihull and the PEC are supposed to have sample of PTS colours. At the PEC there's a separate "Exclusive area" apparently. http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/ex...
Congrats on the October allocation...if you can get PTS go for it!!!!!! Does sound like OPC's have had a new allocation of build slots in the last few days.

Now, I am liking the Light Green, if I get a PTS slot that's my choice.https://www.instagram.com/ptsrs/?hl=en

I promised myself Viper Green ; having been told PTS could cause a delay of 3 -4 months means I have shied off . Miami Blue for me!
