Really appreciate the close ups of the instrument dials and actually out of option colours available, the red does seem clear and will match the crayon exterior and red accent already on the calipers.

Anyone else collected their GT4 or due in this month?

Thanks

Yep you are onto a winner with your spec, and as mentioned I love the contrasting door handles in black. Enjoy!

Mine is due the end of the month. No exact delivery date yet, but OPC suggested it should land in Grimsby 26th.

My PTS PDK GT4 is build complete on 16th June so hopefully hitting the UK shores before the end of this month.
Which boat from Emden do we have to follow on vesselfinder.com nowadays? Used to be MALACCA HIGHWAY?

Exciting times for a few of us! I've still got a couple of months until the car is delivered.. i think I've seen there's WhatsApp group for GT4 but it would be great to get something pencilled in.

Are they actual build slots though, or just prospective orders? I guess the current delays could have pushed planned production dates out but Porsche don't normally allocate build slots >6 months in advance.

Just been told there's a recall to apply new TPMS software, found this out after I booked my car in for some work following the same problem as this chap is having (annoying dash message). This happened to me after using the "racetrack" mode and applying different pressures. I have to wonder if it was intereference from the other cars that's caused the system to fall over itself...

My OPC told me weeks ago they had stopped taking any orders for Spyder or GT4. They get so few slots anyway and production stopping in the not too distant future apparently.

My November 2020 GT4 is subject to a recall for a 'screw securing a front side member' to be retightened due to possibly incorrect torquing at the factory when built. Minor item half hours OPC labour will be dealt with next week when it comes off sorn.
I had this recall pop up on my Porsche Connect app, so booked it in for a few weeks time. Is it a 30 minute job? I also need the dealer to turn on the services for the app, which make sense from a security perspective..

Similar to my experience. Two separate OPCs told me they were no longer taking GT4 orders. I got lucky and fell on a cancelled order.

Production should continue well into 2022, they’ve got to build the gt4rs and rumoured SpyderRS too.

Part of my is shying away from going for pts in case it risks not getting built though... the semi conductor and parts shortages do mean that Porsche may have to change their original plans.

IIRC Porsche don't tend to build the RS variants in parallel to the cooking versions, so they could be coming to the end of current GT4/Spyder production...
