Congrats to those with allocations! I haven't heard either way and I'm not reaching for my phone at the moment because my SA knows I'm here and he'll let me know if he can do it for me. I'm not reaching for my phone to call him in a rush because I'm a bit disappointed in the missing outlaw details but also I'm a bit curious in the new upcoming Porsche Electric cars. And, I've never owned a Ferrari, and these prices are really climbing into that category so that's why I'm not picking up the phone and getting all willful about it... I have a lot going on like everyone else here I'm sure. I love the video and think they did a great job with that (every car should come with a copy on a numbered thumbdrive) but what about a configurator?

I can't add this at the price, and I don't have an allocation, but if I did, and could, I would, it is still a beautiful automobile. The elements that took it over the top vs other speedsters like the 997 for me were the wheels, the center gas cap, and the driver and passenger side mirrors, all were lost in the final offering. I stick by my previous post and hope that the 718 Spyder has the NA six w/manual. From the pics I have seen if its in the $115-120K range nicely appointed that's the drop top deal of a lifetime.

If your SA works at Walters/Riverside, you'll definitely be getting a call with a Speedster allocation but the only question will be whether the ADM that they'll be asking for will be north or south of $100k over. haha

Congrats on the allocations. Have any Canadians received anything? I am told that I’ll have to wait for the May 7 go live date to discuss the possibility of an allocation.

U.S. 918 VIPs have until May 1 to decide if they want one.

None of the “outlaw” decorations had a chance of making it to production for a host of regulatory, liability, and cost reasons. People were similarly disappointed that the production Boxster had almost no detail content from the 93 Detroit concept. Hope springs eternal in the face of experience.

Someone needs to mill up a nice mirror replacement replica same as the concept mirrors, do a quick cut and shut option on the fuel till point to centre and maybe bbs or someone come out with a fuch wheel.....A red heritage option would have been nice also long the lines of red 356 ....

Seems like such a wasted opportunity to create a bit of visual uniqueness on the heritage option.

I was thinking the same. This would be a huge market. I’d see it working on a Carrera t and a spyder also.

Great shots of the clamshell and interior. I’ll take one in non-heritage.

I know they are compensating for the lack of wing, but this is taking the deployable flap a bit far.
