Interesting to see that with all the talk of LWB seats, the actual preference for the Spyder is the 18-way. Adjustability and heat matter. If the LWB had a variant with heat and reclining seat back and nothing more extra, I think these would be the top pick

 

Just signed up for VIN Analytics and my GT4 is 115/127; picked up my GT4 in mid July, but was on one of the first few boats out of Emden after the port re-opened in June.

My local dealer has a Guards Red GT4 for sale at the moment (I believe the person who ordered ended up backing out) and definitely arrived at the dealer after mine arrived, but is reporting a sequence of 107/127 as the last few digits of the VIN are lower than mine.
Despite a commission # >4,000 higher than mine, it has an earlier production month and arrived much later than my GT4. I would have thought they would be constructing these cars based on commission number with some variation within a hundred or so, and would have expected this GR GT4 arriving sooner than mine if the sequencing is correct.
I wonder how many are still stuck at port, it would be interesting to see the build timeline sheet on this car to see if it has been sitting at port, possibly because the dealer indicated it is now a stock car and not a customer car once they backed out.

EDIT: Just noticed my dealer also has a GT Silver GT4 for sale that is built in Stuttgart and not in Osnabruck. The sequencing indicates it's 60/127 despite having a production week in July. Sequencing looks to be based on the last three digits only, however the total does take into account both Osnabruck and Stuttgart built GT4s.

 

So they are rare for now, but by 2022 they won’t be................

 

More than 1 out of every 4 carrying PCCBs.... surprising stat. The 44 "standard" interiors make me sad when there are such awesome interior options here. Also wouldn't want to sell a used car with the standard interior.

 

I used to think that full leather is a must in any $100k car but now I see nothing wrong with a tasteful and thoughtful build with a standard interior. The newer standard interiors are actually quite nice.

 

Final numbers for model year 2020 Spyders are 387 cars for USA, 140 for Canada, and 38 for other regions with US-like vehicle regulations (such as Puerto Rico and Saudi Arabia). The final model year 2020 Spyders were completed over the last week.

I’m really enjoying the LWB in the gt4. But if it was the Spyder, heated 18 ways, no question. Night time drive with the top down and the seat warm ....

 

Agree completely. If I had gone with the GT4, which was actually my original plan, I would have spec'd the LWB, but I am so glad I have the heated seats in the Spyder. I have used them more than one might imagine. Top down starts to feel cool once the temps get into the low 60s F. Since I do a lot of spirited mountain driving in the morning, this happens a fair bit.

 

Surprised to see so many porky 18ways chosen by people supposedly obsessed by weigh enough to choose a manual top to save 15lbs. The 2ways and the lwbs fit me perfectly, so for me the 18ways are completely out of consideration.

From our resident data hound & wizard wizee:
https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...l#post16812382
Summary:

• 18-way sport seats plus weigh approximately 127 lbs (63.4 lbs x 2)
• 2-way sport seats plus weigh around 86 lbs (43.2 lbs x 2)
• LWBS weigh around 76 lbs (38 lbs x 2)

 

I doubt anyone chose the Spyder for the manual roof savings. If a power roof was an option on the Spyder, despite more cost and more weight, I suspect a significant majority of folks would buy it.

 

The 18 ways also add power steering column adjustment and some extra wiring harnesses, so that adds even more weight than the seat weight difference.

 

Good point. Didn't know that. Saving 15lb on a power top motor (and accepting to dance circles around the car to open and close the top) then adding multiples of that weight with a bunch of seat, steering column, and roof latch motors makes zero sense to me.
