Congrats!
Mine appears to be stuck with a scheduled completion date of 11/06 and no information yet.

Is yours Manual or PDK?
Thanks! I have gone for PDK as it will be used mostly on track.

I agonised for days re. PDK/Manual and ended up going for Manual. Just wondered if Manuals were being built later than PDK but just saw another poster with a manual UK car arrived last week

Its a really tough choice between a Manual and PDK on the new GT3 as both are equally brilliant, just in different ways. If i was getting one i think i'd plump for the Manual this time.
I'm liking this new GT3 every time i read something new on it. Can't wait to get some passenger laps in one of the track days this year.

Do dealers get a certain number of each type, or just a certain numbers of cars in total and the number of PDK-S v manual, driven entirely by customer demand?

I’m really torn between PDK-S and manual (should I obtain an allocation) - enjoyed the PDK on the 991.1, but feel this is likely to be the last opportunity to get a (new) manual GT3, and my use will be predominantly on the road rather than track.

looks like dark colours work better with that front pu, sorry the tangerine car looks ghastly!

It is great IMO, very different to agate. This would be my go to PTS…looks great with black accents. Originally a Lambo colour I think.

Mine is Grigio Telesto Metallic - but currently delayed by a couple of weeks, which is expected for PTS. Should be here mid July

992 GT3 looks great in real life.
Nice to see that they are hitting circuits as well... as per today @ Silverstone.

IMHO dark colours work best on the new 3, given the fussy details. Would usually not have Amethyst on my radar but it looks pretty good

You should have said, I would have taken you out on some PX Laps, I talk to so many people have not got a clue who is who. The cars well run in now, these new ZF dampers are something else after about 500 miles they feel like they have settled down more, lost less harsh and more compliant on B roads now. Getting a good feel for the car also. Its all about front end stability and turn in, along with how much more speed you can carry through the corners and the stability under braking, the car remains so flat and controlled.

Yes indeed - getting excited from reading the positive reviews and also speakking to APOLO who really raves about how hardcore this car feels and sounds - just as a GT3 should be biggrin
