I saw it and thought it was a nice touch. Couldn't tell if it was maybe embossed and then painted or just simply painted on. Guessing just simple paint.

It was in one of the videos saying I think 187 mph top speed with roof off and limited with roof on. Similar situation to 987.2 Spyder.

Now will they take all the aero they developed for this car and make a 718 R (w/manual and numbered chassis) in the last model year of the ICE?

Apparently people have heard something about production expectations...? Not sure what I missed. Can someone summarize, please? TIA

NVM, I finally reached the end of the Auto Bild video and heard the story. No limited numbers, build as many as they can. But of course...what does that mean? Who knows.
