Picked up the R on Saturday, drove it back to Milan from Padova but it was mainly on highway and/or stupid traffic so a bit early to give an honest feedback. I'm in love with the fact I feel much more connected to the car than with the RS. The clutch is a bit light for my taste but the shifter is proper short and the mechanical feel while shifting is sublime. The noise of the single mass flywheel brings back long gone memories of the first GT3 RS, some 12 years ago now! The cabin is now properly noisy...you don't realize it until you make a phone call and you need to shout for other people to hear you! Front end of the car feels more direct and turn in is sharper than the RS. Still running in the engine so can't talk about it but don't expect it to be much different than the RS of course. Really pleased with the spec, great car overall, very happy! Couple of pictures from one of the local young spotters!
Yes, unfortunately they couldn't register the car in time and I spend very little time in Italy so managed to get a Test Plate and will drive with that for few days until I get the real plates! Haha, I think Manu's car actually looks good, it certainly does in person! I thought of it like an homage to the 3.0 RS wearing similar colours back in the 70s! Inspiration Result
Still partial to the silver with dark stripes but this turned out to be a wonderful combination. I'd love to see this and its inspiration cruising the streets.

End of January at the very latest. There are a ton of PTS cars now at the factory, waiting to be completed. I was there last week and I saw 12 PTS cars at Exclusive. Porsche is doing everything they can to get most of the cars out of the factory by December 23, but there will be a few cars left behind after the holidays.

Unotaz, did I miss all the pics of your CXX unicorn machine? Can't wait to see..
There are definitely still RS's and R's coming out of custom tailoring and maybe even some still into 2017 but I don't think there will be any new H (2017) cars produced. I don't think they can build a 2016 into 2017.
There are at least 16 PTS cars for the US right now. Almost all have CXX options. Most of the R's coming out right now have CXX options, and in total over one third.
