Congrats CJ. I'm glad someone on here will get one of these and will post some photos and drive it. Are you going to share your spec? It would be a tough choice between white and black for me.
I wonder how many will pick up the car in Stuttgart and then immediately ship it back home?

No, if a 918 VIP customer passes on their VIP car it goes back to Porsche to reallocate, it doesn't belong to the dealer. We had someone who was going to get a 991 GT3 in the program and they decided not to take it. I thought there was a chance we would get to keep the car, but they came and picked it up.

Does anybody know if this info is correct? I saw some technical info that says the new R's 6 speed is adapted from from the 7 speed trans. The 7 speed trans is a PDK converted to manual. Because gear pairs do not share the same shift rail, ie 1-2, 3-4, etc, they came up with a MEchanically COnverted Shift Actuator (MECOSA) to make the H pattern. Here is shift info for the 7 speed, I assume they are dumping 7th and adjusting the ratios. Gordon

I was playing around with the configurator for fun. Can anyone with answers to these questions about the options list please chime in? Thanks in advance!
1. What is the approach angle and clearance for the R, and is the lift expected to be less/more useful than on the GT3? (Weight penalty notwithstanding)
2. What colour are the default washer nipples? (Black, vs silver?)
3. What colour are the standard headlights? (Silver, like the non-PDLS Bi-xenons on GT3?)
4. The reference to includes smoked auxiliary lights (mentioned when you click the 'info' button on the black PDLS headlights) is ambiguous to me. Does this mean you only get smoked red tail lights (like RS) when you order black PDLS, or are they always this way?
5. Can we order black / RY / LO paint in north america? (These colours are available in some Euro markets, eg. Netherlands configurator.)
6. If you were able to and did order black, would you go with black LWB (vs the awesome brown ones)? Opinions wanted please.
7. Bling question. Does the painted key with pouch come with a brown leather pouch if you spec brown seats? (vs black leather--I believe German configurator might have said black, but no comment on US site)
8. If one were to request ED (+/- side stripes and script), is this dependent on ED slots being available like usual? (It might be a busy time of year if they'll build them all by July.)
9. Any substantive weight reduction with either PDLS vs LED?
10. Anyone have info on PTS being available? I have been told by Exclusive that it is not available as far as they know for the moment. Given the short production timeline, I'd guess the chances are slim. But then again, they said the same about the RS initially.
Thanks again!

Hey Daniel,
What to you reckon your odds are of getting one?
