I am told PTS will not be accepted if you don't order before the end of this month, so I am contemplating it. I am due to drive a 918 in a week or so, and will decide then!

Thanks
I am waiting to see when Signal Yellow will be approved on the PTS for the 918. Someone had already requested the feasibility study. However, I was told that I need to make my decision on PTS before my order is "locked-in", which is months away. I wonder who told you that you needed to order a PTS before the end of this month?

I was told by David Donahue who is running the program. I saw you may be at Thermal, I may see you there?

It's just a question and guess-work regarding final allocations. I hear that as tonight they are down to the last 30 or so slots available for the 918. So they'll have to finalize production details on those 918's yet to be built sooner than later. All good...from PAG & PCNA's perspective! If any of you are still on the fence as to what exterior color to choose, take a chance with an approved PTS hue for the 918 - even if you are one of two or so built in that color! Trust me...it'll be pretty special in any case & you will not regret it!

Saludos,

Saw pictures today of the Acid Green 918, my lord is that a color! Looked pretty unique though, but they told me someone else is now ordering acid green on a Weissach. Shame that there will be more than one.

Anyways I did reserve my spot today, now I need to figure out the colors etc!

Good news for everyone else since you might now consider selling your white cgt.

Me too, saw the pictures of the Acid Green 918 and I have to say, I was impressed with the color. I have seen a regular 991 with acid green and it looked horrible, but on the 918, it looked alright!
