I was at a dealer party last night. They confirmed PTS will be available.
For those who want Gulf Blue (I also love that color) why not get it wrapped? You get the bonus of full car protection and if you get tired of the "jelly bean" color you can take it off and your original paint is pristine. To wrap a full car is probably around the cost of PTS.
Of course - you don't end up with a one of a kind car (which can be either a big plus or a big negative at resale if you think you might ever part with it)

There is mixed information currently regarding PTS, one dealer is saying yes it will be available after the first few months of production, another has stated that their rep said no PTS for GT3 RS or GT4. Time will tell...

Hey Guys, I am confused about the smooth leather steering wheel and shifter. No one is spec'ing that one. What is the standard? Alcantara? Thanks!
Also, Euro delivery is listed as free. Has anyone done this through porsche previously? How does it logistically work? Do they have set dates? Is there flexibility in coming out? My schedule would not be very liberal with allowing me to just go for a long trip at a specific date. Thanks!

Currently, my configuration is the leather option as I intend to drive my GT4 mostly on the street and use sunblock almost every day. For wear and tear, the leather is an easier solution.
I can't help on the Euro Delivery question.

I already ordered a GT4 (build date completion (V300) on 9/11) with the following options:
-Guards Red paint
-Wing Supports in Black
-Bi-Xenon Headlights with PDLS (I've since doubted the wisdom of this choice)
-Extended Fuel Tank (why not - I run through a tank of gas in less than a track day and pumps at track are very expensive ($6.50 a gallon)
-Sport Chrono Package including Porsche Track Precision app (I've since had doubts about this one)
-Seat Heating (if I drive the car during the winter)
-Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell (free of Charge)
-Smoking Package (free of charge, gives additional power plug)
-Steering Wheel and Gear Lever in Leather (Alcantara wears out)
-Sports Seats Plus (2 way) (Sport Bucket seats were not available before my 7/16 V250/fixed date)
-Autodimming Mirrors with Integrated Rain Sensor
-Sirius XM Satellite Radio Receiver (for long drives to the track)
-Porsche Communication Management incl. Navigation Module (for finding my way to Summit Point)
I didn't want the expense of replacing $2,000 rotors in PCCB when a rock gets stuck in the calipers, as it did last week at Lime Rock Park in my current Cayman -- luckily I had iron rotors
Hope that helps. I'll let you know if I like this when the car arrives!

ST discs are made with layers of carbon fiber than Brembo's chopped fiber for a stronger and more durable construction than OE.
See our RB/CCM-X rotor presentation on GT-R forum for the difference and recent track test result:

Upgrade your iron rotors to RB/CCM-X rotors (retain your stock calipers & pads):
