Mine is planned production on WEEK 5 i dont know how long is the production then... Also i was thinking to keep the car there a bit and pick it up later... i heard this cost some money ?anyone knows what is the parking cost their ?
My contact talked about quality check eventually but i dont think it will be the case, just faced the situation as i ordered a new Cayenne S delivery should have been in december but 4 month delayed as of today."Due to additional quality check factory has posponded every new Cayenne deliveries for 6 weeks, your car production has been confirmed on week 9, what means we will be able to deliver your new Cayenne in first half of March 2018."

Well, in addition there is the problem of additional weight for additional kind of fluid carried, and the space for the additional tank.

Obviously the way to go is what rockets are doing, using the fuel for cooling. Evaporate the gasoline on the intercooler, redesign engine injection to use pre-evaporated fuel, which also increases efficiency since evaporation has to happen anyway. Win-win on every level.

Make the fire extinguisher standard equipment if the insurance complains.

The injection of fuel cools the charge by evaporative cooling. That much is already true.

Looks menacing. Can't imagine seeing that on the street just driving around town lol, will be quite an event.

Prefer the non-WP GT3 style wheels to the WP wheels, but I would think the WP is a must-have for this type of car

Agree/Absolutely

After Winter going to have painted my Satan Alum wheels that gold color. I am hoping the Porsche Cert Auto Body shop can get that color/paint from Porsche

Black with gold wheels does look the best -- even better with matching old-school gold/yellow headlights.

do you ask your Porsche center ? For 50 k over it will be hard but I think you can find ( perhaps for 80 k over ).
