I just picked mine up yesterday - I do not live in the U.K, but its a RHD.

Carrara white exterior, with Red top and Red leather interior. I didn't spec it personally, and took what the dealer had specified. I was extremely lucky to come across one available so late (end of May), just before it arrived in country. Only 5 for my country.

The red interior with the brushed aluminum is truly stunning. You do not feel like you are in a slaughter house as some have suggested you might - I would highly recommend this interior, regardless of the exterior color.

Thanks, I know it’s basically a GTS with some badges, but like the chap mentioned above the Ali trim bits really lift the car and the inside feels a special place. Brilliant driving cars.

[flat6ajg]

Good news we’re you first in line at your opc ?

[EEnBEE]

The dealer who I’ve ordered my (backup in case I don’t get a 25) GTS is telling me that all dealers including them have had their allocation of 25s. That spooked me at first. However when pressed he indicated that they had received only one allocation and whether they get a second allocated is not guaranteed. He said dealers had formed queues of deposits and no-one was sure how many would be supplied in the end.

I explained that my understanding is that uk was getting 100 across the 40ish dealers, so that all were guaranteed 2 and that some would get 3. He didn’t support that position, but neither did he say it was wrong. Maybe a wind up? I’ll have to ring my 25 dealer tomorrow.

Does anyone on here know the facts?

This Porsche buying experience is so painful and ambiguous. Not knowing when your car is going to be built is one thing in these difficult times, but not knowing if you’re going to get one at all after you’ve signed an order is quite another. There has to be a better way.

God knows what the actual truth is. My opc guaranteed me that I’m number one and will get the 1st b25 that they receive. It’s coming September apparently

All B25’ s should have had the spec locked down by now I would have thought.

Cheers. Mine isn’t locked down yet. Like the pic. I’m wondering if the black hood roof will look better with the black windscreen frame ?

[Shiverman]

I’ve just been advised today that I need to give a final spec by Monday.

I was 3rd in my OPC queue and they are quoting me a September car.

Happy and impressed but now the spec dilemma starts…… I was white, black hood, manual with black interior and neodyme stitch.

Today I’m PDK, GT silver with red hood and red interior to keep the B25 theme.

It’s going to be a fraught weekend!

If I go black interior I’ll have 3 P cars with back interior and contrast stitch. But can I live with red??
First world problems 😂

Good call - I hadn’t picked up on that before. Has anyone not spec’d GT silver with red?

In the USA I think that is the only way you can spec it.

I’ve only just spotted it. I’d. Still go red interior but now maybe black hood ? Not sure

3rd ? I’m supposed to be first at my opc but still no lockdown date.

I was told in January they’d been told by HO they could have a 3rd car in a second batch and allocated it to me (never dealt with them before either!).

TBH I didn’t think I’d get the car given delays etc. But today was told final spec Monday and then no more changes.

They’re getting their first car in a few weeks apparently.
