Spyder718

PTS Spyder and GT4 were almost impossible to get. I tried in 2021. GT3 (865 PTS to date) and GT4RS (271 PTS to date) were definitely prioritized.
I have the MY'21 Spyder numbers and color breakdown and they are 99% identical. I have no reason to believe his data not to be correct.

Great info! Will be superb if there is number for ROW

I guess I got lucky when I got my 2022 GT4 in Arrow Blue.

Super Stroby

Same for me, 22' Black Olive. I have been bouncing around the idea of possibly letting it go. With less than 100 of PTS cars it seems to me I should be counting my lucky stars. I'm 99% sure the only other BO GT4 is in Scotland.

Just curious if you are able to see how many have 18-ways/non-LWBS with PCCBs?

I'll echo all the thanks here, love seeing data like this. Actually surprised there are so many more Shark Blues when compared to Miami Blue.

Some people asked about Manual vs PDK -
No accurate numbers, but in 2022 about

• 38% of all Spyders where PDK
• 46% of all GT4s where PDK

No reason to believe other MY are different

MY20 — 100% manual.

Lucifer

I mean when PDK was actually an option from the start, obviously

Noted; I added it as all are not aware.

I know it is a long shot, but if somehow someone knows how to get a commission number out of a VIN that would be amazing, hit me with a PN

Is this your car? Add it to the portal in Porsche.com and generate a Monroney (which will have commission number).

So MY21 and prior, "paint to sample" as we know it was basically called custom color and technically wasn't offered as an "official" build option on the configurator. It was more of a secret menu like how In N Out has a secret menu. You basically had to know about it to order it.

I guess Porsche finally figured out how popular it was and how much money they could make from it so they ended up officially offering it through the configurator and actually called it Paint to Sample because basically everybody was already calling the custom color program Paint to Sample. So the available colors to choose from is whatever is basically already available. If you brought, say a purse in and said I want you to match the color of this purse, that is called Paint to Sample Plus and is very expensive because Porsche charges you for the feasibility study.

The other thing to PTS is the ordering process is a little more transparent today whereas when it was called Custom Color and was an off-the-menu-kind-of-option, it seemed that many SA didn't know anything about it and really didn't care for it because it basically added more wait time for a car to be delivered and therefore delayed them getting paid. Also, before it became an official option on the configurator, it seemed like getting approved for your custom color selection almost felt like hitting the lotto because there was so much unknown with the process. Nobody knew how many custom color slots were available or really even which colors were available.

@Lucifer do you happen to have the number for GT3’s? I see more GT3s than 718 Spyder or GT4, just wondering if the 718 GT cars are more rare?
