Default Euro Delivery GT3

I had the opportunity to pick up my GT3 at the factory in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen .. what an experience.. you have to do that at least one time in your life .. at the moment they are pumping out GT3, GT3RS and GT2RS for the european market like crazy .. every fourth car on the production line was a GT car while we were visiting .. and plenty sitting around waiting to be picked up either by truck or by customers taking delivery at the factory .. what a sight . . some pictures attached .. now the trip begins

Did the factory use double sided tape for the front plate? I’m getting my RS there in September and wasn’t sure if I should bring the tape. Last time they drilled the stupid holes in my Turbo, was awful to watch! Congrats, enjoy!

No holes drilled! In the pre-delivery paperwork you complete, you can check a box for YES drill the holes, or NO don't drill the holes. They used double-sided tape for the front plate on my Euro delivery and should be no issue removing it once the car arrives is the US.

Gorgeous, congratulations.

Did you get a chance to walk the outside of the buildings spanning from the Zuffenhausen square and peek through the windows? We did 2 yrs ago and saw some great special equipment there

You might have seen mine coming across the line! I've done the factory tour before too.... outstanding behind-the-scenes experience.
