Does anyone have any news on when the configurator will be made available?

Also what's the deal with the particle filter? Can it be easily removed to unlock more hp?

Heard today that production could be halved from the planned 1,948. Means that even the big dealers will get one or two max.

That’s not good - do you know why ?

[CitySlicker]

Nothing else out there to corroborate what your dealer said.

IMO 1948 units is far too many for the speedster anyway (unless of course it means that I won’t get one). The 997 was 300? So an increase 650% is excessive

Just 'production issues' caused by emissions could lead to reduced production. I'm hoping he's wrong as I won't get one unless they get 4/5 cars at that OPC.

Cheers - as I said to you before ; fingers crossed.

I'd love one but I doubt it too - but if I get one we can share

Need to see it in the flesh but disappointing it doesn't have turbo flared wheel arches like some speedsters of the past. Used to be an option to have turbo body on your speedster back in the day when anyone could order one. Needs that coke bottle shape IMO

[Fokker]

That's something all new 992's have lost as well. It's too wide at the front.
Good for the dynamics, crap for coke bottle effect lol

I've specced one at £240k. That's £106k more than what I paid for the GT3 Touring. However, given they were all sold before the price was announced, I guess Porsche can charge what they like! I wonder how much would have been too much to put off those people who been given the nod?

Edit: I was not given the nod....

Amazing shot of the Speedster and that dark red looks perfect. I've changed my mind. Love it

It looks like someone's sat on it....

I know someone who paid the deposit on one last week. Was given no choice on spec either. White/silver with heritage pack.
I love it .

Do you mean the OPC basically said we want to sell a heritage pack car only, so you can have one if you're prepared to do that, otherwise we'll find someone else ??
Plus don't forget there's a watch..........

Not a UK opc. But buyer had to have that colour scheme and the h pack.
So he was bemused but you still ain't gonna turn it down now are you!
