I just noticed something: Some cars have headlight washers, and some don't. I thought it might have something to do with whether one selects the standard lights or the LED Headlights with PDLS, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have seen photos of cars with LED Headlights w PDLS and no washers. My spec, due next month, has the LED Headlights w PDLS and the washers. Something else I just noticed: There was no option to select washers in body color, so mine are black (on a white car), which I don't love, but the configurator didn't give me a choice (which I just noticed now).

NA total including MY'24 is around 2350 cars. RoW total including MY'24 is around 4300 cars. That's 6650 GT4RS worldwide. If the production goal of 7000 is true only 350 MY'25 will be produced. That would mean only 125 MY'25 or so for NA.
To me that feels is too low but we'll see...
I'm busy right now but will try to get a color breakdown including MY'24 done in September.
Mine just ticked off both manufacturing process complete and released for transport yesterday.
It’s going to Australia so looking at the shipping schedules, hopefully it’ll get on the ship leaving start of October for a mid November arrival at port.
The My Porsche App has a wide date range of 11th Oct - 24th Dec as I’ve read on this thread that how long it waits at Bremerhaven is a big unknown.
Looks like I might be in luck as according to the Hoegh cargo tracking, my car was released for transport August 20th and due to be loaded onto ship on August 30. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Would be very interested to see if the color distribution has changed much since the last analysis considering the lack of PTS availability.

Curious to hear the experience of others.
Thanks so much.
Had a lengthy discussion about this with my dealer when my build was about to freeze. They assured me (and confirmed with internal contacts at Porsche) that US cars do not have headlight washers regardless of the headlight type.
I've watched several other 4RS come in and have yet to see a washer on any of them. Suppose we'll both see when our cars get here.
