What logo did you get on it? Looks great! My is also a CGTS that I'm waiting to finish production. My wheels are going to be painted in satin platinum so from these pics, I think that's the only difference on the exterior.

Hopefully they will keep Aventurine Green in 2024 (salesperson told me they will stop including the brown leather).
Supposed to get allocation in Q1 or Q2.

Correct on the natural leather options. They are long gone.

If anyone is following the Heritage Leader, it is at 15 N, 66 W in the Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela. Due to arrive at Cartagena on the 22nd at 06:00. Other ships have taken about 10 days to get from Cartagena to San Diego.

Production just completed on my car with an updated delivery of 1/9/24.
I’m not sure how you guys are finding the ship that has your car on it but if anyone knows I will track it on the maritime site.

Once the car leaves the German port, your salesperson can lookup the ship it's on.

Based on the shipping schedule - educated guess would be the SIEM CICERO. its due into port of Emden November 23.

I just looked at the marine traffic website. Very cool stuff!
Siem Cicero, Lake Taupo, and Siem Confucius are the three carriers that seem to cross the Atlantic in my time frame.
it looks like my car is at the port already so hopefully she gets on the Siem Cicero.

That is my preferred color/wheel combo, even down to the black brake calipers. Been waiting 6 months so far. I'm next up at my dealer for a GTS allocation. I REALLY hope Aventurine Green is still an option when I get my allocation.

Well, two years and 23 days after I put in my order my Boxster GTS 4.0 is now at the dealer, to be picked up tomorrow. I went and took a few pictures last Friday, dirty from a month outside, onboard ship, truck and train, and couldn't get any good angles because she's surrounded by other cars, but here she is!

Colours; Agate Grey Bordeaux/Black interior and Satin Aurum wheels

I absolutely love the Neodyme gold wheels you can get on a GT3, but I'm not sure that the Aurum gold wheels were the right choice, for me. Tomorrow I'll see her with the sliver (18 inch) winter wheels/tires. At worst, I can Plasti-dip the Aurum wheels to some other colour. Pics in clean delivery spec will be forthcoming.

To answer anticipated questions..

1) Came with the old logo.

2) Ordered Oct 30 2021 Locked July 17 2023, delivered tomorrow (Nov 23 2023)

Well after starting production I woke up to this notification! Production started September 1st so let's just say it's been a long journey! Funny enough, just yesterday it was saying December 8th for completion. Looks like I'll get my 2024 in 2024 so a good way to start the new year!

Looks like 718 production could be coming to an end for EU cars due to new safety regulations. I've heard July '24 but haven't seen anything in writing as of yet.

Correct, plenty of posts on here with links to PAG statements and/or EU regulations.

Also will end in certain Asian markets that have adopted the EU standard.

Porsche announced it would continue 718 ICE in parallel with EV for a few years.
Same as they are doing with the Macan.
