Mine is still a bit short out of break in but I have done a little under 300 miles on a single day. 80% highway. The ride is Ok as long as the roads are in good condition. Sound on the interior is also Ok specially with valves closed and keeping rev under 4k.
One thing I ty to do when doing long highway drives during the break-in period is to change gears manually and every 15-20 minutes use 1 or 2 lower gears to vary the rpms and keep it there for another 10 minutes. Long highway drives at less than 3-4k all the time is not ideal for a break in.

Logged into trackyourdream today and found a pleasant surprise, car finished production yesterday and is on its way to Emden, originally production was supposed to finish 2/17. Hopefully it won't be stuck in port forever but at least its out of production hell, from 9/13/22 to 2/1/23.

Yes, high RPM at highway speeds is the one thing I would say Porsche decided track over street for the 4RS. I would have been very simple to have an overdrive gear which would have reduced RPMS for over 3,000 to down to a bit over 2,000 - and made the sound better. Everyday street driving is no problem in the 4RS, but highway driving is not ideal.

Wow that sounds fun! suggestion would be to get it PPF'd before the road trip to protect that baby! Have a great time breaking it in!....

For how long is GT4RS planned for production?
Will it still be in production in 2024?

I think May and June Lock date will be MY24, and as far as I know, none of them are V200 yet.

Interesting.. maybe that's why my 4RS lock date got pulled in from early May to Mid April (as its a MY23).

Any idea if PCCB would be available for April lock date? Are there any MY24 allocations for 4RS yet?

That's probably reasonable. I think you may have one of the last MY23's.

I think PCCB will be available for MY24, and there are no MY24's yet until the configurator and porsche decide to switch over, which I think will be mid March.

GT cars for the year have already been assigned to dealers, but those allocations for MY24 won't be active until they switch years to "assign" them to a client.

I like that's the only thing that is guaranteed. Shareholders to answer to after all.

Doesn’t look like we made it on the Glovis Century. TYD still says we are at Emden port and ETA just got pushed back to 3/24. I swear this app is just playing with my heart at this point.

Hoping for a miracle… until then, patience patience!
