This is interesting because the 718s are supposed to be going on for possibly 2 more model years (2025 and 2026), plus the GTS (4.0) is not a limited engine...imo
My guess is as good as everyone else's

Just received a call this morning advising of an allocation for me - delivery June.
This dealer is the one I put a deposit in July 2023.

The GTS 4.0 is already well equipped and adds up fast in Canada with luxury tax on top.
I am debating between Aventurine Green and Silver.
The Aventurine Green looks like Agate Grey depending on sunlight.

I wonder if GTS allocations drops together with 4RS allocations. (Also in Canada)

Any reason why you're not going with Sport Seats Plus? Even the 2-way seem to hold a person better than sofas.

You mean the 18 way Sport Seat Plus, if yes it is because of age. They are harder to get in and out !

Are you sure you arent mistaking them for buckets? None of the sport seats should be hard to get in and out of.

Nice build. I would spend the $750 on PDLS, ditch the $540 for the multi function wheel with Carbon fibre. As others have said - getting in and out of 14 ways vs 18 ways is really no different. ventilated 14 ways are quite hard. my two cents is go for the 18 ways or stick with the 2 way base sport seats!

I've had 14 ways in a 991 and 2 way sport seats in a Cayman GTS. I don't think in/out is any different. I'd suggest 18 ways or 2 way sport seats rather than 14 ways.

Love the color I've had a Arctic CGTS and now have a GT Silver CGTS. As much as I liked the Arctic color, I think GT Silver looks better on the CGTS and shows the lines of the car better. Plus is a cheap option compared to the special colors. I have the same decal delete options but with black calipers.
I'm not a fan of the multi function steering wheel but if you keep it, suggest the carbon shift ****. I opted for the carbon **** but I have GTS interior.

Congrats on the allocation!

Congrats on the allocation, goo to hear they are still dropping. I love the build! The GT Silver without all the badges looks so clean and classic. I was toggling between that and Guards Red which I ended up with. I was scratching my head at how you got to $129K, then I realized it was in loonies. For about the same money, you could go PDK->manual and leather interior->GTS interior, which IMO is more special. But I understand wanting PDK, too.

Got a few pictures from my SA today and tomorrow it's mine! I lucked out and had a fairly quick process beginning to end. I put a deposit down mid-September, October 18 freeze point, December 18 left production, Feb 8 arrived at dealership. The dealership is going to put clear side markers on it before I pick up. They keep them in stock.

thanks for the info I still have time to decide. I would most likely go for the 18way but you are recommending no to ventilation because the seat is firmer ?
