By brown I take it you mean the natural leather option in Espresso? I was able to get the Espresso/Cognac combination. My car finished production November 24th and I'm still waiting on it...
Yes Espresso - Espresso/Cognac is no longer available either. You are getting Aventurine and Espresso - Nice. I have to decide soon - delivery would be June.

Can you send me your config - just to see which options you have taken ?
I assume the heated carbon steering is less desirable because of the lesser grip ?
No matter what, it will not be as grippy as leather. I have no idea why/how Porsche got into adding stuff like that into a sports car. Reminds me of my old Lexus (and MY GOD - that wheel was always cold in the winter and burning hot in the summer - I hope I never have to experience that again).

Correct, cutoff was something like Nov 24th for production to finish. Yours might be the last one produced with it. I really wanted that leather!

I think July is the end of production - at least for the 4.0 GTS. It will be illegal in the EU due to emissions (from what I read).

Few ending slots opening up. For whatever reason, I don't think the Boxster is being made from mid-January until late March. Nobody seems to have a build occurring then.

There was a rumor on that - and it is possibly true, and I didn't want to get ventilated seats on my 992 because of that - but it was going to cost MORE not to have it than to have it. So I got it and
1. Seat feels just fine to me. Doesn't feel hard at all
2. The ventilation, at least in the 992, is wonderful.

My build code is PRZDA514 but I don't think options no longer available will show up. My "big ticket" items are the natural leather option and Burmester.
Picked up my car on Monday night. She is beautiful! Now its off to Moe's shop to do the paint correction/PPF/Tint/ceramic coating. Looks like I got a bit more waiting to do!
Wow, really nice looking! Do you mind sharing your production start and end date, left Emden date. Also, what amount of PPF you're getting the what full cost you are paying for all that? Congrats!!

Here is the timeline for the production and left Emdem.

Here is mine. Just my luck, nobody claims to have seen anything quite like this and it just happens to be my first Porsche. For Steps 6 & 7, I got both emails at the same time on January 28th, but look at the dates that's listed lol. Hold onto your butts!
Timeline is determined not when you "order"...but rather when the allocation (build) date is.
I went V200 on an abandoned allocation for a 2021 Spyder on 8/28, car exited production on 9/23 and was sitting in Houston on 10/16
oh no i know, just bad use of terminology on my part. My car entered production beginning of October 2022 and exited production about a few days later just for it to sit at Emden for about a month before hopping on a ship which then took another month and then sat at PECLA for about 3 weeks before i picked it up in Jan.
