I think you are right about the place of production. But we will see when the first VIN numbers get discussed.

Hopefully that guy will come back to you once he's 'had his training' and had time to reflect on your questions....?
He promised me that. I just came back from my trip so I will connect with him again and see if he learned anything new. I also did forward some of the questions to AP and the team in Weissach.

FYI, the VIN number of the Geneva Racing Yellow GT4 is WP0ZZZ98ZFK195061, which confirms a Karmann Osnabrück production location.

^ ^ has a GT car ever been built there?
I thought Porsches only built there in the 70s

Aha ... Thanks Eduardo!

Thanks for checking! I was too busy taking pictures and honestly I don't care which factory makes it as long as they make mine. I wish they had more Z-options and PTS though...
