Does anyone know what an ā€œorder demand letterā€ is? My dealer is sending this along with my build and my name to Porsche.

Is this to try and get an additional allocation?

They are a very reputable dealer and get high allocations for GT cars , so Iā€™m hoping that they have some pull.

Thank you guys

So apparently, even at $300k msrp, PAG has still underpriced this car by $150k? Unbelievable.
Months ago I suggested a $500k msrp, tongue in cheek. Seems I had hit the nail right on the head.

I bet you'd still get the ADM BS even if they had priced it at $500k MSRP. I'd be willing to bet that less than half of the US allocations were given to good customers for MSRP (excluding VIP customers) which is really sad.

An order demand from your dealer, formally, tells Porsche you want the car. The the formal order code is V070. The accumulated customer codes 070 gives Porsche an idea of how many cars they should plan on producing. Unfortunately, your name is not attached to a produced car. Rather, Porsche gives your dealer a certain number (without names) of cars and lets the dealer decide who gets one.
The decision making algorithm used by the dealer to hand out cars to their customers varies from dealer to dealer. However, the one common characteristic of all dealer decision making is how much they love you.

Now, who is that person in your avatar that is shooting out the passenger side window and what is she shooting at?

When ordering for the GT2RS opened up, my dealer put in a V070 order request for me (and for a bunch of other potential buyers). One order was changed to V200 shortly thereafter (a 918 VIP). My order was changed to V200 not long ago (the others are still waiting) - in other words, an allocation was given to me but the build has not yet locked. At that time, I went down to the dealer, signed the paperwork (MSRP) and put down a 10% deposit to be held until delivery. I was told that the order wouldn't lock (V250) for some time given the late build date and that hopefully PTS would open between now and then.

Is anyone getting the watch? It seems expensive for what it is.

Any thoughts on future value? I wonder if, as it is so closely linked to the cars specification, it may be worth getting.
On the other hand, it may well be worth buttons and end up being an expensive paperweight.

We are being asked to finalise specs in the UK, for a Q1 2018 build no PTS unfortunately.I am 99% going black with red indoors, I wanted to retain the standard wheel (without red trim), but been told it’s a £2,500 CXX option, not just take one from the other parts bin LI had considered optioning the black leather wheel, but think the Alcantara works well, maybe a re-trim if I can’t get used to the red when it arrives.

Can the rear bumper be painted body color, instead of the matte plastic?

No one has actually picked up a heavy ADM car yet. More and more real buyers I know are just ordering other cars - as more allocations roll I wouldn't be surprised if some of the big ADM buyer's pull out and the cars sit on dealer lots. For once there might actually be some truth to the "Buyer pulled out" story...

$500K for a 2RS? Do you think by the time the 992 comes out. It will go back to MSRP or even close to it? But it wouldn't surprise me Porsche would do something like make these then turn around and make a manual version

In the case of the GT2 RS, I think you are going to have to put up a 10% down payment, likely before production start. "To be held until delivery" according to poster above, Thegoat. Probably signing some legal sounding paperwork as well, binding the customer to the purchase.

Kind of early to tell for sure; but, the GT2 purchase process seems to resemble the 918 purchase process. Which was aimed at eliminating, or, at least, minimizing "Buyer pulled out" stories.

Some quick renderings in a unique heritage color, Condor Yellow from the 356. What are your guys' thoughts?

Hi!
Can you make a similar rendering in Viper green, WP and black wheels also? Interior with viper green stitching?
I`m confused what I should doo!
