I have to admit when he said he had Auratium approved I almost called my dealer GM and SA, but they know what they are doing and would have told me.

Now I am having second thoughts and want spectra red ....

odd that there are no reds on the list

maybe odd is the wrong way of looking at it
what would be odd is if someone could make any sense of the "custom color" program

It's "custom color" when you pick your color from a secret list and you pay $13k for it. It's just plain old color when you pick it from a list that's out in the open for everyone else to see.

Don't they usually reserve colors for future cars?

There are no reds on the list, I think, because almost no one orders red for PTS. There are so few (with arena seeming to be the most popular), I don’t think porsche thought there would be demand and they only have 50 slots (for now).

I think you will see at least arena on the expanded list. That seems to be the most numerous PTS red (although I like pascha red personally).

The program makes perfect sense to me. Well, at least I understand how it worked before and how it seems to be working. It’s all about rules. Got to love the Germans.

Judging from what many of you have experienced, my chances of getting a PTS allocation now seem slim to none! I was waiting for the expanded list; I'm beginning to think I may have waited too long! If Q2 is already close to full, Q3 would become MY22, after the summer break. Does anyone know if the GT4/Spyder expected to see MY22? The GT production will be maxed out with GT4 RS and 992 GT3. Any insight?

I would be shocked if they have MY22 GT4 and Spyders aside from GT4 RS but with COVID, it's possible that Porsche extends MY21 a little longer than usual or maybe push into MY22. Who knows?

Got an email from PCNA stating that my order has been pushed back a month due to only have a "skeleton crew" in the CXX department.
