Configurator lists Door Pulls and Seat Belts in Lizard Green and Just Seat Belts in Deep Sea Blue (Besides Shark Blue).
Is that a hint that Lizard/Python Green and a new Blue Color will be introduced soon?

I seriously doubt they've gotten anything but a "sure we'll get you one" handshake.

I don't think so. The Deep Sea Blue seat blue is to match the newly introduced matching stitching color. My guess for the lizard and python is to match the "upgraded" stitching options.

What upgraded stitching options? On the GT4 you could do that ( I have full LG on the interior) but on the 4RS is not on the configurator.
Of course you could always go CXX.....I think those colors are in there in case someone wants to put some color on the interior besides Arctic Grey and Deep Sea Blue.

I feel like this is quite plausible. They probably do have some sort of agreement with the dealer to get a GT4RS, even if that dealer has no real production allocations yet. Fabspeed buys a lot of Porsches for R&D. Just in the past year, they have gotten a 718 GT4, a 911 Turbo S, and just recently a GT3. It's very plausible that they are getting them all at MSRP if they have an ongoing arrangement to trade the cars back into the dealer when they are done with their R&D...

Well, if they buy a bunch, they know what an “allocation” is, and they ain’t got one of them yet…

If they have a build order submitted with a verbal commit for first available allocation, I think most would not be knocking them. However, that’s not what they are saying and why it looks like more “puffing,” at best.

Its on the internet, so it must be true

Although "John" has likely purchased every GT variant for over a decade I'm sure he'll be right after the 918 execs, unless he purchased one of those as well... Time will tell..

That gives some context - they have that dealers first allocation, not an actual v200 confirmed allocation in how I’m reading it.

thuggo

I mean not how I read it:

"Yes, We do have our allocation!
The delivery date is currently slated for early summer 2022."

I could care less who laughs. I am trying to help people get the lowest price. Evidence of actual pricing has helped me negotiate in the past.
On my wifes new SUV I bought it for 81% of MSRP 6 weeks after manufacture with 10 miles on odo and one tiny scratch. I did have to show email proof of a nearly identical vehicle, VIN and price offer, to help me get this deal. When it was in an accident and a total loss the insurance paid us $400 more than I paid new, and at the time of the accident it was 21 months old with 20000 miles.
On the 718 GT4 release CA dealers were asking/getting? 20K over MSRP in the beginning. But to my understanding this became MSRP after about a month, at least outside CA.
AP said the GT4RS production will run for 2 to 2.5 years and that everyone who wants one will likely be able to get one, so how long does ADM last especially with typically optioned MSRP pricing close to the 992 GT3 base MSRP.
On my new Cayman R I bought it for 95.5% of the MSRP.
I admit getting MSRP on a GT4RS will be tough at least in the beginning.

I really want one of these,,, at MSRP

probably will have to wait 5 years for that sadly with the way things are going

Couldn't care less. Couldn't. If you COULD care less, well then...

Since 1954 apparently both informally mean the same.

Never thought signal yellow would look bad on a Porsche.
