My CXX requests went into the mill in July. After very sporadic communications of the form "no news yet" I've received no responses whatsoever since the end of September. I've delayed my production twice already waiting for CXX.

So... good luck to all who think CXX request that are not already approved will be met.

If anyone has had recent (as in the last two weeks) communication from PCNA, please PM me the contact info!

For the GT3, the US dealers had allocations about 3 weeks before the press embargo. The press embargo was about 2 months after the official announcement.

In Australia we will have 100 cars in 2022 and likely about the same in the second batch in 2023. It should be enough to satisfy the demand.

How many 718 GT4s per year? So I can calculate based on what we usually get down here.....

My guess is that allocations drop in Feb/March for the first batch of US cars. From AP's comments it sounds like they will build GT4RSs into the first half of 2024. I'll take a MY23 car thank you very much.

Thats a lot of cars for only 14 dealers in Australia. 7 odd cars per dealer, some dealers are very small so would get less allocations I’d say.

porsche can’t supply GT4 or Spyders, let alone 911s, so perhaps those numbers are a bit optimistic imo.

Love the arctic grey. But that blue is hideous. Doesn't suit both wheels imo..

Surprised that magnesium wheels are not on the options list. Edit: found them. Bumped spec to $193. Estimating 3RS will approach $300k spec'd out.

$166k spec:

Why would you like mg wheels? They crack. The Bbs e28 wheels for 996cup was supposed to be xrayed every year: my mg cup1 for my 964rs is small cracks all over. Mg+o2 is a bad thing.

I wonder what the intake cover looks like in plastic vs carbon. I can only find the carbon one in videos and pics. Hopefully it still looks decent!
Check out the photos of the Clubsport version where you can see the regular rear shelf intake without the carbon. It still looks great.
