Locked mine in today after a month of changes and CXX type options of which none I went with due to cost. Shame too because custom seats, stickers, etc are cool but between that and PCCB obviously at that pint in the build, you are now in GT3 territory.

 

Locked mine in today as well! It was very helpful reading the 'why and why nots' on options : ) Here are my notes for those future builds:

*Navigation option - do not like Porsche's native navigation and will not use track app/chrono package/ Porsche connect sub services, etc. (got my AiM system for that). Feel Apple Car Play w /Siri does it all and more + the car already comes standard with Sirius XM. Everybody, save yourself an extra $2300+!

*Blacked out headlights - didn't like you couldn't option the car with JUST the blacked out headlights, but now you're forced to have the headlight washers...ugh. Not liking those standard 718 silvery bug eyes.

*Color - was on the fence with color for awhile (Guards Red vs. GT Silver), but decided GT Silver was more special given the history of mid-engine Porsches being GT Silver (Carrera GT, 918, etc.).

*Sport Chrono / Watch- did not option it for the above reason, but more so that it tends to be reflective against the windshield in varying conditions (Chrono Housing is unlike GT3 versions with binnacle cover atop of dial.)


Dealer offered MSRP (no mark-up!!!)

 

Well done! Very close to my build, so you have some taste 😁

 

Miami Blue will look awesome!

 

Neurotic- congrats, MB will look sweet. where'd you get an allocation? Live near your town and no luck yet despite trying for over 18 months.. this slow trickle of allocations is a total fun vacuum.

 

I finalized my spec with my dealer on Saturday. I was told it would lock in a week or two, and should be delivered some time in May.

Chalk, platinum wheels, bucket seats, red stitching and a bunch of other stuff.

Spyder configuration

 

Nice build, where are you, thinking of deliveries...

 

I'm a little north of Boston, but am buying from Porsche of Nashua (New Hampshire).

 

Ahhh yes, east coast, much, much closer to the port of entry then I am, mine should hit port on May 1st but still has to come across to the west coast.

I personally wouldn’t get sofa seats and power folding mirrors on a GT4, but it’s not my car. I do like the new blue. Should look nice.

 

It’s funny I say that, because I like full leather in my track cars. I make no sense. Lol.

 

Ha! 😂
I just can't justify almost $6 grand for two seats. The power mirrors are for clearance in my garage. They don't change the physical feature of the mirror, do they?

 

I’m not sure if they do in the 718. In the 991 they did. For example, in the GTS you wouldn’t get the sport design mirror if you chose the folding mirrors.

 

I don't see a difference in the configurator but that could be misleading
