I think you will be looking for a 12 to 18month wait unless anything significantly changes. You may be lucky to fall on an allocation a little bit sooner but this doesnt seem to be the case. Good luck.

I’ve just placed an order for a Cayman GT4 at OPC Guildford and was told probably Q4 but may slip given lots of uncertainty re chips etc. So I’m taking that as meaning Q1 next year.

Did they confirm you have an allocation and signed an order, otherwise you are just expressing a interest with a 5 or 10k deposit down. Make sure you actually have a allocation and build slot otherwise you could
get let down.

It may be a possibility that the 718 gt4 isn’t made in 2023 as that have now realised the gt4 rs model.

Wow, what a coincidence! That is my dream spec too - with aventurine colour matched in the cabin. Link to configurator here... 12k of options, would be up to 16k with the bucket seats but can't have those with the espresso leather...

Jeez, a car couldn’t look more drab. I’d get depressed just walking past that.

If you're walking you may be depressed because you wouldn't be me, who'd be driving past at high speed and dropping a gear/opening the exhaust valves so you could appreciate from your pedestrian vantage point the Boxster GTS.

It would pass you in a flash of deep green, the espresso leather looking like sh!t off a shovel.

Slip of the fingers from me - I've ordered a GTS (just selling me GT4 - though maybe that was my subconscious telling me I should keep the GT4!).

And you're right, it's a deposit with no confirmed allocation. But signal from Guildford was 9-12 months to wait on the GTS for delivery, which I'm assuming will end up being 12-15 months.

Biased as mine is same colour but I don’t think you’d say drab if you walked past it! That interior would be lovely to sit in too.

Driving mine about the cohort that respond most to the car are small boys. Not my target audience of course but it definitely doesn’t shrink into the background. I’ve attached the following pictures for debate!

When you do all that fancy stuff with the exhaust valves I'd think 'knob'.

Espresso leather: yes, looking like st.

My Cayman is now in production, expected Feb. Put deposit down in June, but only became locked in and confirmed mid Dec.

Are you willing to share the spec?

[Rob P]

GT Silver, extended black leather, dual zone climate and cruise.

A great choice. I love my GT silver.

I agree. GT silver for me as well. Got my allocation through yesterday. Need to lock down spec by end of February or sooner. March build. Delivery April/May but I wonder if it could be later.

Interesting - I only had a few days from official allocation to locking in spec in Dec, which must have meant a slot became available ahead of when I was expected, which when I put the deposit down was Q1 2022 or possibly Q2. Not complaining!

Full espresso natural leather is one of the most underrated Porsche options IMHO. I can't wait to get into mine for the first time.

I was annoyed i couldn't spec the buckets with it, but having had a few rides in a friend's 992 GT3, you know what the buckets are a pain in the arse, literally

The last thing I would think of if I waked past that car is "drab", irrespective of colour.

I find that low strung mid-engine roadsters generally are very exciting to look at even when not moving. And to my eyes this particular one is one of the best, in other words the least "drab".

[NorthernSky]

I'm glad you guys like the aesthetic of the Aventurine over Espresso! I wonder if Porsche would send me one as a reward for coming up with this combination?

There is one joker who doesn't seem to like it, his reply did make me spray my espresso out of my mouth all over the keyboard with laughter, so well done, dude...

Each to their own, I picked up my Python Green one yesterday. The brightest car I have ever owned! I like it though. Nice to have a change.
