GT2RS delivery times

[AndrewD]

Just interested to hear if anybody is experiencing delays and what the reasons given for these are?

My car has slipped twice by at least 8 weeks from 19 Mar to 23 May, was originally the Ti cage and now it seems a combination of that and the Cxx options.

Not looking to kick off a first world problems kind of thread, just looking to pool information from other folks to see if there is a common picture. There are lots of rumours so maybe we can between us try and work out what is going on.

I wouldn't worry about it Andrew at least you're one of the lucky few who's getting one. I'm looking forward to a review from someone that didn't rate the Speciale

I struggle with some of the newer cars today. Took an F12 for a spin and 720s and tbh both a bit flat. I'm going to try a Speciale soon.

Thanks. I'm not worried, and I have heard a lot about mag wheels or Ti cage or whatever. I'm just trying to see what other people are being told.

I'm sure the car will be mega.

I liked the Speciale. I cancelled my order because I was asked to pay extra for an early pre shutdown car, which I did. Then I was told my expensively-optioned car, which supposedly went into build in May, had mysteriously slipped to later in the year.

Thanks chaps.

The supply chain is clearly complex but the lack of information isn't helpful. I think PAG delegates the choice of how much information is shared with the local importer, in this case PCGB. My CGT is at Reading for its major service, so when I go see it in bits for a geek-out, I'll be sure to see if I can have a moment with Alexander Pollich.

I've seen photos of the helmet bag which looks cool but not heard of any UK customers getting one?

Can't wait for the car! How are yours?

For reference, my 3RS was showing a 1 month delay last week and was due to finish at factory 3rd June. Today it is showing at Emden and more or less back on track to my original dates.

They seem to be getting a bit of a backlog there and have a lot of GT cars to build. In hindsight i'm glad I took the 3RS when I did and didn't hold out for a WP car and a gamble on a second batch of cars. If they are still building 2RS's and this batch of 3RS's into Q3 I cant see them having the time to build more batches of 3RS

They will definately be building more 3RS, starting apparently in Feb 19 with WP and also a particulate filter.

Back on topic I just heard my car has exited the factory and is awaiting transport to port. Go figure, but I'm certainly not complaining!!
