Porsche’s refusing to allow the dealer to release my CGTS 4.0 because the spec is so amazing they’re afraid everyone is going to order the same and there aren’t enough parts in the supply chain.

Porsche just realized the GT3 software was loaded by mistake and needed to rectify ASAP.

Like Volvo, they are going to introduce a fixed speed limit at 80 mph / 130 kmh.

Turns out that they accidently put the "415hp" engines in the GTSs and the "395hp" engines in the GT4/Spyders. Someone has to answer for this colossal screw up.
