Your dealer’s not up to speed then as APOLLO’s car is for real. Not aware of any others, ours is a September build
My Spyder is on the production line now and was due for delivery mid-July. I’ve been told today that it is being built and will then be held at the factory awaiting semi-conductors for the seats and some other parts. Delivery date to me unknown but might be ‘well into September’.

My Boxster25 was September build and is now totally off radar.

I hope yours arrives to schedule but I’d steel yourself for potential delays!!
. My opc said August build for mine. Early sept delivery

Video of the black one for sale now on YouTube. I'm quite tempted to change to black despite the pain I know it'll be to keep clean.

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. frown
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.
A click to keep the spirits up
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 ?

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

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 ??
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.
Thanks. I’ll give my opc a chase.

I’m thinking silver red interior and the black hood. Think it looks better joining the black window frame. After all 90% of the time the roof will be up in the uk sept onwards
What options are you guys paying for ?
I’m pdk. Bose and the silver hoops behind the seats

I've gone with, GT silver, black interior and red hood. Didn't bother with bose as it's not all that great imo. Also haven't bothered with climate control as it's not my daily. Standard A/C is plenty fine for me. Still managed to spec it to £82.5k though.
82.5 ? What else you gone for ? Pdk I take it ?

Sounds brilliant. I’m really looking forward to seeing some delivered cars and maybe some on the road as well.

Are you going to be using yours regularly?

Mine is October delivery so I hope to get a few miles on it before the bad weather sets in.
Yes mate daily driver. Part from van at work. The boxster s I’ve got now drives so good and is really quick 350hp
Handles amazingly
