Went for launch spec PDK, with a few bits like -20mm Pasm etc. Have to say one of the best handling road cars I have ever owned.

Same. Another August build here after my original May build was cancelled mad
Similar situation. Original car with a June delivery was cancelled by Porsche. Now re-ordered and August delivery with a price increase. Did you also get stung with increased cost?
Yes I did.

And that price increases the premium of 25 over the GTS. The % increase was roughly the same, but the GTS 2022 models get the parking sensors in the std price offsetting the increase. Nothing similar on the 25.
Didn’t realise that. My opc said you ger something on the b25 to sort of explain the price increase ?
I’ll check sure he mentioned parking sensors

Cross checked the standard spec for the new order against original order and there was nothing different other than an extra £1060 for the privilage of having the original order cancelled
Yeah true. I get it to around £1000 more for exactly the same car on my spec

Looks great, love the combo.

I think the silver / red combo will be the desired option in years to come, if looking at it from the value aspect. Taking away values, it would be my pick anyway.
Thanks,
The red works really well with the silver IMO. Done just under 500 miles so far this week, all miles for the fun of driving. Only other car in recent times that I felt like getting up at dawn for few hundred miles drive for the fun of it, was in my 918.
Good to hear. Would you recommend the 20mm pasm ?

Tbf, I have never driven a car without.

Personally if there is a lower -mm PASM option I would always take it as I prefer a more sporty ride. A recent US tester in his video below commented that the -20mm does indeed make a fair bit of difference. Is the -20mm only an option on the 25th? I note that on the stock GTS its only a -10mm option.The big point this car for me is the PDK, it allows you to use so much more of the engine revs a lot more of the time.

Thank you. Yes I think so the 25 edition is 10mm pasm standard. I’m gonna choose it. It’s only about £160
And yes I’m definitely having pdk. Does pdk suit the car perfectly?

Still no dates on mine, it'll shortly be 6 months since the order went in and the allocation was confirmed but I'm in the middle of a house extension at the moment so attention has been focused elsewhere. In the meantime I've adopted a more laid back attitude, if it comes it'll come when it comes.
Same ere. Did want it for may. But September is more likely now.

It's really quiet on that front isn't it - apart from Apolo? I've even been checking the classifieds as I expected to have seen one for sale through Daniel Myers or another dealer by now as well.
Yes mate. Very quiet. Just nothing happening.

I like that, it's got a bit of "John Player Special" about it and I think B25s in black will likely be pretty rare. I'm going to stick with Silver though, black is a nightmare to keep clean.
I’d say about 10 to15 black b25 in the uk at the most

My dealer has asked me if I want my 5k deposit back Boxster25 as no further cars this year (if ever) Also they had 2 cars allocated still have no build date on either car. Same is true on Spyder and GT4.
Think most opc only got a couple of 25 edition cars Only 100 or less ever coming to the uk I think.
