Love it! What region is the car destined for? Ok to be vague, or PM me if you'd prefer—and feel free to ask about roads while you're out here. Might be able to point you to a few!

Spoke with the Exclusive Manufaktur team at PAG, and it sounds like their supplier raised prices on Ascot Brown Leather by a significant %, forcing Exclusive to raise the cost of the leather. This may be compounded when additional leather is added on top of the package.

…while a personal favorite rarely selected remains: U2 GT Silver on Ascot Brown Leather—for maximum CGT vibes.

Great to see the renderings for the new colors! Black actually works better than I'd have guessed. Seems like all 3 of these will be pretty rare, if we're really at the tail-end of Spyder production.

^ Totally agree.

A1 Black ties in with the Black interior elements to really highlight the Ascot Brown and make the bright silver wheels pop—and particularly with the black calipers and monochrome center caps. I'd have a very tough time passing up A1 Black, even if it's a pastime rather than a color, as it may go on to be a bit like the 911-50 in A1 Black: rare and a stunner every time I see one. Same goes for Carrera GTs in Black, even if they're a bit more common as a % of the total produced.

So is Arctic Grey a standard color for the Spyder now? On the configurator it’s not available for the GT4, 4RS or Spyder. Or is this a special exception because it’s available on the lower 718 models?

I see Arctic Grey on the US configurator for the Spyder...

Doh… seeing the render, I was thinking ice grey. My bad.

I wonder what this means for future MY23 Spyder allocations. We kept hearing allocations are all done. Wonder why this news came out now. Maybe a few more Spyder allocations a little later…? One can certainly wish!
