Any more info on whether the GPF will or will not be fitted? Or, will they potentially go for the same set up as the Speedster with ITB's?

Thank you - I did read that. However how accurate is it likely to be and if that is the case does it point towards ITB's and loss of the rear silencers? In reality - Porsche are the only people who know the truth and until the 1st cars start arriving it's all speculation.

This was my first spec (but with black magnesium) before... I went back to LG! One thing for almost certain: there might be many LG, but not so many with GPF!
Do you have a pic? You can build it on Porsche.de.....

hard part was colour choice changed my mind at least 3 times
So may we ask which colours and which colours you went for?! It is always exciting to be in a position to spec, purchase and drive one of these special cars!
Wheel colour?

Mine is CP08 end of July (production complete). I’m resisting tinkering with the spec just in case the date moves. Delivery early September - happy days.

Does anyone have any more info on homologation with GPF? As far as I know it's yet to be completed.

I have been offered a new GT3.2 RS with W/Pack UK (C16) spec by a private owner,when it arrives in July with only delivery mileage on it. It is to a high spec, so what is it worth ??
UK(C16) - could well be a Euro import UK spec car. July delivery to a UK OPC would be a challenge in my mind.

There are 3 listed in the classifieds - 1 of those is LHD. None have the mag wheels or the CF steering wheel.

The thought of a 3 month wait and £10k to replace a damaged wheel was enough to put me off Mags
Congratulations - you got one then?

From the text below there is clearly the option to turn the wick up to compensate for any GPF restrictions, ITB's or remap - only time will tell spin

But the GT3 RS has benefited from the delay and shares so much of the suspension, material and aerodynamic enhancements of its sister, it would only be a mild generalisation to call it a normally aspirated GT2 RS. It also has a little more power than the GT3, whose 4-litre powertrain it shares: thanks to better breathing it’s homologated 20bhp higher at 513bhp, though in truth Porsche says its real, representative output is at least 523bhp.

Who has been given earliest build date ?
What normally happens if you have July build date do they transport cars over there August shut down ?or are cars left until they return ?
I would expect the cars to leave the factory prior to shut down - hence arrive UK some time in August. I have a completion date end of July.

Quick question - given the previous supply issues with the CF steering wheel - is everyone with a WP order expecting the right steering wheel on delivery?

Time will tell I guess when the 1st cars start to get delivered.

Who's 1st, I'm mid to late August completion?

I'm also August build and expect delivery late September or early October..I've owned some nice cars however this RS is the one i'm most looking forward to..
As mine is a black WP and i intend to sometimes use it on track i've reluctantly decided to have it fully wrapped..I'm having it done either with Topaz Bristol or alternatively Litchfield's new liquid wrap..I had a quote from Litchfield today for a full body wrap which was £4K..The only car i've ever wrapped was my GT3 which was only £1.5K for a front end and doors so i'm now having second thoughts..
The thought of my car being dismantled for a liquid wrap is not something I’m particularity keen on. I’m going track pack, predominately to protect the CF bonnet more than anything else.
