Default My car begins production 10-6-17.

Just received message from my Rep at Danbury Porsche today that my Guards Red TTS with aero kit will begin production on 10-6-17 and finish
on 10-13-17. I will have my VIN number at that time. So hopefully it won't be long before we get a boat and arrive in the states. I will post arrival date of boat when I know more.

Getting excited.

Mine is supposed to start in the body shop today and complete 10/6 - anticipating two months from then to delivery.

You're right. Unless we have another off winter it will have to sit Jan and Feb. Oh well at least I get to read the manual.

I still think it's amazing that once all parts are painted and in place that they can build everything in 7 days.

Does anyone know the real time from fresh unpainted metal to finished product? Would love to know.

Just heard from rep that my car is in the V260 stage as of today. Which is the body shop. It is a few days ahead of schedule and is scheduled to be at Emden 10-13-17 to be shipped to the states.

Getting there.

I reached the V300 stage this week and I am at the dock in Embden. I do not have a boat assignment yet, but when I do I'll let everyone know. Once it's at the dealership however I still need to have a few things done that will delay trip home, and that is install of Escort 360 CI MAX, painting of Turbo S wheels to glossy black, and application of Ceramic Pro. It will realistically be somewhere around Thanksgiving, plus or minus a day.

Not sure on actual expected delivery. But my reps best guess would be Thanksgiving weekend or some time shortly there after.
When my car has been assigned a boat I'll have a better feel from there.
But at least it has completed the build stage.
