Spec sounds nice... defo steels if a yellow car.

Yes, mine is due for pickup on the 4th of Jan.
Fantastic - I look forward to the pics smile

By the way, Gentian Blue is the Porsche navy blue option. It's too much like Ford Spirit Blue for me, I see it on ST models everywhere!

I was also Crayon with PCCBs, but I'm switching to full "launch spec" of Racing Yellow with steels and yellow interior.

You'll have to post pics of your Crayon car so I can see what I could have won!
BFH biggrin (Will need to explain this to the Gen Z'ds)

You won't regret launch spec, you'll easily be able to find in in the car park!

.... picking this up next week .....

I'd go PCM delete if I didn't need the reversing camera.
You know you couldn't do that as it adversely affects the value if you sell;)
And the value police wouldn't be happy! Love to see a crayon gt4 in the flesh I bet it looks awesome!

Yep, crayon in the flesh will be great I'm sure. Crazy price for paint though, and they charge even more for it on the GT4 than any other 718 series car - including the Spyder!

There’s no way he’s buying a yellow one. Think of the resale !

Here is a GT4 in Crayon. The owner kindly sent a few other pics onto me too.

I have ordered it with the standard red callipers, however it does look well with black callipers.

Tasty. I'm going LEDs and stock Satin Platinum, exactly as on Porsche's website:

Bit smarter than mine's going to be. You've gone for the leather option pack I think? I'm going carbon, same for the door sills.

Yep, contemplated the painted dash but after owning a yellow GTS with it decided it was too much.

Opted instead for full leather with the trim in leather. Yellow in the car is the stitching plus the belts.

I'm going maximum yellow - I think Juno's Lizard Green GT3RS build must have rubbed off on me! laugh

Looks like you got that from Reading?

Congrats.

What’s it like and what are you planning to do with the car? Any track work?

you got an allocation? that's great - congrats.

didn't you say that they were "fugly" a while back?! i disagree entirely of course and look forward to photos and review.

what kind of hit did you take on your GTS (i assume you had to px)?

one small suggestion for your consideration - black calipers to go with the yellow paint? those red calipers are a bit jarring on anything other than red or non colours such as white/grey/crayon etc

Lol... and that wings are obnoxious, unnecessary poseur bling.
Sure the virtues of the 718 GT4 will now be extolled....

I also agree with you on the black callipers.

Anyway enjoy guys.
