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

And no, initially I didn't get PTS, wasn't an issue as I am normally a black guy anyway. (Except for the Golden Eye, I hated it when I heard about it but I fell in love with that color when I saw it in person. That and the Lava Orange GT3RS are the only 2 cars I purposely didn't ordered in black). Anyway, last week at Barrett I saw an amazing PTS car, so I sent a last minute request to have my car painted in that color, but it will probably get turned down anyway, worth a shot to ask still.

The below message appears when you try to configure a 2RS on the German Porsche site. Could this mean that the end of allocations is near?
Dear Porsche friend,
The model you selected is no longer available as a freely configurable new car.
Nevertheless, we would like to give you the opportunity to continue to look at the model in the Car Configurator.
We wish you much joy

Just when people think the GT2RS allocations are all done, today I got word from 2 separate people in different parts of the world that they were just offered a build slot for the GT2RS.

I feel like I've been saying the same thing forever...if you want a car they'll build it for you. Just like the GT3RS. Don't give up hope

Well I am in Cairo and was told back in September that the only car allocated to our only dealer was sold ;Then i got a call 10 days ago that I may have a car ! So I submitted a request and still waiting for the confirmation from Porsche Middle East.So I think they are putting out one last batch.
hopefully I can get one and good luck to all scoring one.

Would love to see more of these in the wild and landing in the hands of all those that truly want one.
