Thanks for sharing the pictures. I saw this car at the pebble beach reveal last year and as you said....in the flesh it looks much better than in pictures. It was interesting to see the custom watch set being offered too!

Did you design and get one of those as well?

Congrats on the car! What color are you getting for the GT2RS?

Welcome back! Haven't seen you for a while.

Your Golden Eye (This is the name used by Exclusive personal at the factory) looks great in contrast with the Snow White background! But the color seems a little bit washed out, the finish in person is more copper like.

Mine should be finishing production soon if not already. I sent them a last minute instruction to hold it in Zuffenhausen for a Euro delivery early May. Told them to just leave it in the parking lot and leave the keys with the receptionist if they Can't find me a slot. 918 Spyder Circle have an event visiting Zuffenhausen and Weissach and a drive through the Black Forest in May. After than I planned on driving the car to Hockenheim for the start of my race season in the German Sport Cup.

As for my GT2RS, it is a May production and I am hoping they would reinstate euro delivery so I can take that car for another 918 event through the French Alps in July. If it Cann't be done I will keep the Golden Eye in Europe to be used in July.

Good morning,

Thanks. I thought about the watch but they couldn't tell me which manufacturer makes the watch so I declined, unlike M-Benz AMG, they use IWC. For color, several of us here got bounced on PTS, so have not decided yet, thus the fall delivery to buy some more time. The demand and popularity of PTS, I suppose was overwhelming and having different PTS choices plus the longer than normal process of making these striped carbon fiber frunk and roof as experienced in the manufacture of Exclusive Series is the reason many PTS got bounced among other reasons.


Thanks

Hello Whoopsy,

Hope all is well. Cool, you are getting your "Golden Eye" (didn't know that term used at the factory) via European delivery. Hopefully they would have re-opened that program by then when you reach Germany. Yes the color is very unique from gold, to a tint of yellow to coppertone. It is a Turbo S, but the overall attention to detail of items they put in this car is what made it unique which caught my attention. I would say it is a modern day version of the former GT2 (additional 27 HP (Exclusive Kit)), but more luxurious. Good luck on your race and please share your some of your race pics when able to.

I hope you are one of the few lucky ones who got PTS (not sure how many they are, since everyone I know here got bounced on PTS) on your soon to be, Kingkong.

Drive safe,
GT3RS-Fan1

Re ED: I read in a Porsche magazine that Porsche opened its brandnew delivery centre in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen on January 18 of this year.

A bit over designed for my taste - but a fun idea.

Spoke to dealer and he told me Porsche has stopped PTS on all Carreras but there will be a window (from August I believe) for PTS on GT2RS and I assume the to be announced GT3RS.
