Any idea typically how far in advance that type of news would drop? 👀

Typically we won’t know until the configurator updates before MY2025 builds are accepted in the system… IIRC April/May?
It’ll be when buildable allocations are distributed to dealers.

Dammit, they need more colors! Nothing like an extremely rare meeting of two unique cars…in the exact same spec. lol

Anyone ordering with red stitching, if you've got the VIN yet, would you mind PMing me? I need a favour. Don't need to give me the VIN.

“a lot” is relative… but this car deserves a color that pops and from the standard palette GR and SB are the two that pops out more and they are beautiful colors. PTS seems very limited and pricey … I was going to go Oslo, but honestly I think GR is a killer color with all the black carbon elements … at the end that’s the color that I feel fits the best the spirit of this SRS.

Oslo is a gorgeous color, but IMO, it does not pop in person as much as it does in photos (esp with saturation turned up a bit). It is quite understated and reserved as far as PTS blues go.

GR, on the other hand, is always singing.

It's funny how our viewpoints can vary. My current toy is a very bright Napier Green and it suits the car. By comparison, even with the ducts and scoops and vanes the SRS is quite understated to me and I wanted an elegant "timeless" colour. I also wanted a metallic, so I went Gentian. Would love a PTS green in the Oak / PRG / Jet palette, but PTS is still not confirmed way down south.

Mind you, I did look long and hard at Guards Red and not that my opinion matters, but for what it's worth I reckon you have made a great choice!

it’s funny indeed… below is my OG Spyder… very aligned with the vibe you are getting from the SRS…

they will co-exist in my garage… I’m a sucker for the Spyders 😬

Well I just hit "Change Freeze Point" ...again, Haha!

I did the stupid mistake of changing my paint color at V210... order system threw an error and my schedule completely disappeared. Had second thoughts and changed it back the next morning... system accepted my revert order instantly. I guess Porsche also agreed my change was a mistake. My indecisiveness cost me a week delay from the previous schedule. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Oh well... lesson learned.
