Arnoud,
Is the WPOZZZ92ZSS800459 928 in the factory collection? Or is it a myth that Porsche keeps the last one made of a product line. I was just thinking where the last one is.

Thanks
LM

According to the article as per link http://www.curves-magazin.com/Blog/Wolkenatlas WPOZZZ92ZSS800459 was first owned by Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking and these days still owned by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG as part of the Porsche Museum collection.
However: it does not mean it is necessary on display, it might be in storage (as the majority of the Porsche Museum cars are). I'll find out as I plan to visit the Porsche Stuttgart museum during early May, and will ask around then.

Thanks for the info. Nice write up.
I see the frame around the front tag says " Porsche Museum"

Because it was the last US GTS??? PERHAPS! LOL! It was the last one we were ever going to get here, thus it was the last GTS (for our market). Yea, not the VERY LAST...which is why it ended up sitting on the Champion Porsche showroom floor for like 3 YEARS as the guy who ordered it backed out when he found out it was not the VERY, VERY LAST ONE!

Larry, I didn't notice that my post count had been at 9280! To funny!
