On a similar note, they have ended 2021 production of the Taycan Cross Tourismo....

If yours isn’t on its way it will be a 2022 model.
Not sure that is absolute.. My XT goes into build July for August delivery..

I am aware P cancelled some orders which luckily mine was not one of them.

British racing green PTS looks pretty stunning with gold accents.

If i get a PTS slot and that's a big IF, this is my perfect spec. It looks absolutely stunning with the wheels, black calipers and exterior pack matching perfectly. The man has good taste.

Interesting - that colour combination does nothing for me, but why should we all like the same thing?! Having said that, I’d be happy to own a 992 GT3 in any just about colour combination!

On the subject of green, I’m liking this colour, black olive

I guess it would match my wellies, but I can think of numerous other PTS colours I’d prefer!

I'm really wavering over seat choice, the LWBS of the RS were great, had folding buckets on a previous GT3 which were also very good with the added benefit of access to behind the seats, now considering the 18 ways as only intending to track the car occasionally, had them on TTS and they were very comfortable with easy access. Who's going for what ? Not interested in flippers spec.

I was hoping that the folding buckets would appear on the 2022 cars as it makes a massive difference when accessing the rear. However, if not, I will be ordering the standard buckets. no question (assuming I get an allocation!), as they’re an intrinsic part of the GT3 experience IMO, regardless of whether the car is tracked or not - I found the folding buckets supremely comfortable on long journeys.

Having said that, I think how comfortable the buckets seats are depends on your size and shape, as adjustment is limited, so for some people the 18-way seats will be a better option.

I very much hope the folding buckets come back on the options list. The LWBs are much wider and would require mores substantial changes to the padding to be properly snug. Rear access is, of course, another plus of the folding buckets, I'd value

I think the wheels make the colour pop, am not a great fan of decals , but even the Porsche logo in gold just gives the green another uplift.Yo wouldn't go wrong with that combo, that's for sure.
Whats the score if you want the black gloss trim instead of chrome as in the pic, I think its included in an option pack .

Anyone had any news on deliveries in the UK?

I heard my car was completed last week so fingers crossed it lands in the next week.

I was told it was at Emden. So… not too far. But we also know that even late 2019 and before COVID, some cars were there about to board and it could take weeks.

I’ve been told that the car is at Ebden, leaving on Friday for the Uk, maybe with my OPC 2 weeks after departure.
I gather that my OPC will only deliver 4 GT3’s this year.
