Very cool, hey. Enjoy it. Hopefully not too much rain. Think mine is on the Dunlop tyres so I'll be keen to see what they're like.

It's certainly not a direct comparison but the 992 I had for a month was on Dunlops and they were very good.

You're not wrong. I'm going to get mine tomorrow now. Let's hope the rain disappears for the afternoon! Very exciting.

Having the same thoughts too but I will probably just take it when it comes. As of this morning still in Sheerness with the dealer trying to get confirmtion of when it will head to Reading to be PDI'ed then transferred to Guildford for collection ... end of the week looking V unlikely now!

Does anyone know is the Arctic Grey GT4 RS is still on display at PEC Silverstone?

My spec locks next week and even though my gut is telling me to go with the safe option of crayon, I keep contemplating changing to Arctic Grey as it will be a rare colour if production ends at some point in the near future.

I’ve found in pictures it looks great in some light, although in others it looks light blue which I am unsure of. Hence why it would be ideal to see the colour in person.

It was there a fortnight ago. Give them a call. Hopefully they will have cleaned some of my drool off it, but it will still be there. Seriously nice looking little car, made me wish!

Email from my OPC this morning re my questioning around the PDLS+ delete...

'Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday, but we had some issues with the Porsche System, the great news is this morning, the system started to work, and we have swapped the standard light package to part number XEW which is the black PDLS xenon’s as requested.'


Do the PDLS & PDLS+ have the same appearance?

I also got confirmation that PDLS is still available and my order hasn’t reverted back to the base xenon’s.

PDLS and PDLS+ look very similar. They both have the 4 dots and black inside.

Two very different looks IMO.

The four dots on Xenon PDLS are narrow and surround the single cone of Xenon light.



LED PDLS+ has 3 lighting elements and the 4 dots are not actually dots but are narrow LED pieces at the very edge of the unit.

Xenon PDLS also has a smoked lens, LED PDLS+ is totally clear.

The LED PDLS+ unit is very complex:

Nice comparison. Thanks.

I’d prefer the + but it’s no longer available. So PDLS will have to do. Had it on the last GT4 and they looked good and worked fine for me.

Has anyone heard of any GT4 allocations beyond the end of this year yet?

Obviously the rumours are that these last few slots at the end of the year will be the last GT4 production slots.

Or is it still too early to tell? When do OPC’s get their 2023 allocations?

I'm genuinely wondering if I'll get a car - I put my deposit down in May and I guess it's highly unlikely I'll get an allocation before the end of the year. The OPC did warn me that putting a deposit down doesn't guarantee a slot.

I can't see why they would stop making them though, unless they stop producing all Cayman/Boxster models? I thought the EV replacement was still some way off - I haven't seen much in the press about them or pics of the test mules?

Arctic grey was absolutely stunning. Would take it everyday over crayon. You wouldn’t be disappointed.

I was at Silverstone for another reason last weekend, and popped in to the PEC to see if they had any arctic grey cars. The answer was "non" and the arctic grey GT4RS is not on display. As you drive out there is a Porsche parking lot and it was parked up there and you could peer through the fence at it. Big thumbup for me and it's staying on my config!
