I try, it is all part of the excitement and dream that these cars evoke, to be behind the wheel tearing up your favorite canyon roads in a car that you personally spec'd.

The actual debut would be earlier than FOS.
Week 17 is the last week of April (the week of April 23rd). The Sport Classic debuted April 28th last year.
FOS would be the public event debut which is July 13-16 this year.

IMHO, the RSR will happen way faster than the GT4 RS, rollout wise. Example, allocations distributed and production started in July... right at public debut. I think they will be focusing production more.

You configured a car that doesn't exist? How does one go about that?

Are you talking configuration with an actual configurator complete with renderings, or just an on paper "I want this colour, bucket seats and PCCB" so they know roughly where to start once it is actually released? Can you provide any kind of proof? Not doubting that some people have early access to certain things and dealer experiences vary wildly between countries but if you are enough of a VIP to have access to configure an RS Spyder this early, you should have already received your 4RS 6 months ago.

Ok... so Allocations in Germany, configurations happening in Asia... does that mean a debut is sooner rather than later?
Another Porsche sold out way before it's debut!

My SM said no problem on Racing Yellow, WP, CXX Bonnet Stripe, Full Leather, NC 5 lug, etc…

Surprised more aren’t reporting same.

GooDy,
Out of curiosity how did you build your Spyder RS?

I went ahead and chose the MT option, with 5-lug wheels. Boom. Suck it, haters!

Oh, I nearly forgot: I got the CXX "front hood and fender vents/ducts" delete option as well.

A few folks in the 4RS Deliveries and Production thread are saying 2 spyder variants inbound: one pdk (SRS?) and one MT (R?).
