Any chatter on PDK from the OPCs?

I was told not till at least next year, if at all.

I had the opportunity to ask Herr Preuninger this question directly at Goodwood FOS and he told me late 2020. I have also seen some German dealer internal literature with PDK quoted as available to order from Sept 2020

[breadvan]

Thanks both. Happy to wait.

Likewise ! Perhaps brexit will be sorted by then and we won't have to worry about additional 10% import duty !@ On the other hand .........

I posted these previously from German and USA dealer sources, respectively.

So, speccing my car at the moment and coming in around £100k...

What is the view on the white (maybe metallic) with the satin aurum wheels - like here - https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/porsche/718-c...

It is on the German version of the configurator.

Interestingly, it looks like they are dropping Miami Blue from May 2020.

So Lizard Green seat belts are now on the UK configurator, anyone heard if lizard green paint is to be made available

Looks great imo...I’m wondering if should have gone for those now but it’s too late unfortunately...

Also, and I know this is a can of worms, but buckets, PCCB and Club Sport package are key options too (in descending order of importance).

I know that some don't like the Club Sport package - noisy and heavy - but I like the look of it. Allows me to pretend I'm a racing driver...

I think all GT3s/4s should come with club sport as standard.

If you want armchairs, get a GTS!

I made the last minute addition to include the CS pack.

Interesting people are suggesting Q1 arrivals of the next batch of cars, but seems unlikely as my estimated build date (for a first batch allocation) is 25th November with delivery then est. 3 weeks later.

I'm hoping that Miami Blue is indeed discontinued as mine will be therefore a pretty rare spec.

On that note, has anyone with an order for the second allocation actually been given firm details by their OPC yet?

If you want to be able to exploit a GT4’s chassis you need buckets....cornering capabilities are far beyond those of your buttocks ability to stay glued to the seat. They also really add to the driving experience IMHO....makes the car feel special and makes you feel more connected o the car. You’re sitting in rather than on.

So what is everyone’s opinion on Sports Buckets Vs Full 918 Buckets in a Spyder?

[Fish]

I've gone for the folding (sports) buckets as I prefer how they hold me to the 918s.. and you can get heating..

It is person specific. I find the 918s quite uncomfortable under my thighs on long journeys..

[thistimenextyear]

I've just noticed Lizard Green seat belts on the configurator, maybe LG will replace the Miami blue that is supposedly being dropped..

Strange how some second batch orders have been told January delivery when i've been told March, does this sound right?

[m3ruj]

My GT4 was in build last week so I hope delivery date end of this month! GT silver, CS, buckets and aurum!

Looks like our racing yellow build will be with us by the end of the month

Where are you based?

What’s the planned use?

What’s your planned ownership period?
