All headlights in the GT3 will feature the 4 point Daytime Running Lights, does not matter which of the 4 headlights you option (including no option).

Is it true that the Bixenon is a lot more lightweight than the PDSL?
Again, big thanks for a fantastic thread

Yes, but if it's on the build sheet and a "rare unicorn" option the car is always "worth more"

Standard procedure when rebuilding calipers back in the pre 991 disposable calipers era.

Chao, thanks so much for taking the time to share with us.

Do you know Porsche' internal projections of the percent of orders for manual vs. PDK?

Thanks.

Let me help you out

Canadian dealers won't have their allocations notified till mid May, might even slip to June.

Porsche still got like 9 or so models to roll out this year and that wasn't on the list last time I checked. Unless things have changed in the past month.

Hmm, let's see:

2 new cars, GT2RS and a Exclusive car at Goodwood in July

1 variant of the Panamera Sports Turismo later this year

2-3 variants of the brand new Cayenne towards end of the year

Think 1 more specialty car from GT department

What else am I missing?

All new Cayenne launching end of year?

Haven't seen pics of mules (although I'm not really looking); I suppose it is that time in the product cycle though.

Personally I prefer the well used "burgundy" and "patina" caliper option.

Only cars that are enjoyed at pace are able to attain this level of exclusivity.

I will say that the 991 calipers stay surprisingly bright!
