Short story...A great group of cycling friends (And Porsche fans) decided last year to coordinate a couples Euro trip including cycling and Porsche’s. 8 couples agreed to order new Pcars and coordinate Euro delivery. This was scheduled for this past May, well of course the Euro trip did not happen and we have agreed again to try to do this once we get a vaccine. In the meanwhile a number of us kept our orders including myself and my wife’s new Spyder arrived this past week. Delivery is scheduled for next week.

Doing my best to break in the GT4 as soon as possible! The most frustrating part is having to shift at ~4,500 RPM, right when the valves open up and the engine comes alive!

4 hour drive in the mountains this sunny afternoon:

Just went V200 on November MB build. Have time to edit seats, first time ever went with Sofas and not LWB. Plan to drive it a lot, so hoping this is the right choice for me....I have a race car, so purely long trips planned for the Spyder....

All of these pics confirm to me MB is epic on any 718....thanks for all the posts.

Just put deposit on November build for GT4 in MB. Am concerned the color will be gone.... but dealer says MB is still a 2021 color because it's on the configurator? I'll be very sad if I have to switch the color as I love MB.

once your order is V250 you are good to go, if MB was no longer available for Nov build the order would not make it past V200... if that

Connected with a local car photographer/YouTuber for a photo shoot with the GT4 this past weekend; only a couple of teasers as he works through the photos, but very happy with the results so far. He does car photography tips including photo editing (as well as some car reviews) on his YouTube channel if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCarCreative/videos

Photos from The Car Creative, mine pale in comparison to his shots haha:

This looks very similar to the spec I currently have built. Did you go yellow stitching? Any interior shots?
