Lovely car. It still escapes me why one can't specify roll bar and canvas top color on such an expensive car from a company that prides itself on its "Excllusive" division.
Oh, and still no reply from Prosche Exclusive from my Monday email on my latest query for my never ending build.
When do you start running that place?

Give them some time. It will eventually come...if the Targa continues to be popular into the .2 991 facelift and beyond.

I recently got a voice message from Detlev von Platen. But I didn't bother to answer it yet. I am too busy here at Rennlist to get a real job! Where else can you do all of this 'work' in your pajamas and still have such a great following? This thread has now over 137K views! Incredible.
PTS no more Porsche shut it down for the rest of the production
My response:
PTS is still operational at PAG with gt3 and other models that normally can be ordered in paint to sample. It is just that PTS needs minimum of three months advance notice via the ordering system. So you need three months from date order is finalized & entered in the system to the scheduled date of production.
PTS '15 gt3's will still be produced from start of MY2015 this fall to end of November. But those orders were finalized over three months ago and the paint has been pre-ordered for it and other colored bits coordinated with the outside vendors. For some reason not yet explained, there is apparently no PTS production scheduled for December. But there will be PTS 991 gt3's as scheduled from now until November - many of them going to Rennlisters that ordered them long ago since some were '14 orders pushed into '15 due to 'stop sale'.
The most recent batches of '15 991 gt3 allocations were just announced by PCNA in the past two weeks. If indeed '15 991 gt3 production ends in December and that month does NOT allow PTS, this means there is not enough time to organize PTS for these cars in such short notice. They would have required three months - which will obviously not be possible on these NEW gt3 allocations just announced a few weeks ago (some still not yet finalized/ordered & scheduled for production). I feel as bad about this turn of events as many of you. If I was ordering a '15 gt3 and had my heart set on PTS, this inability to fulfill my dream custom order would have been extremely disappointing. And personally, nothing would have given me more pleasure as an enthusiast and avid promoter of PTS than to see a plethora of beautiful PTS colors on these '15 gt3's! But as critical as most of you know I am of 'Porsche Exclusive', this is really not their fault! PAG/PCNA unnecessarily delayed handing out the NEW '15 gt3 allocations until such late date that it was impossible for the PTS ordering system to work. Let's put the blame on PAG and/or PCNA for dragging their feet. I think I know why they did it...but it doesn't mean we should let them off the hook for it.
PTS is still going as scheduled for the rest of the 991 models. Here we are in September of 2014 and we already have at least these four MY2015 991's (see attached photos below) that have been done in PTS and delivered to their owners both here and in Europe! So most likely these PTS cars were done in July and are already shipped to end customers or dealers in far away places like the US! So PTS rolls forward...steadily & more beautiful than ever!
1) 'Mexico Blue' PTS '15 Targa (customer from Carmel, CA).
2) ''Lichtgrün' PTS '15 Targa (customer in Stuttgart, Germany).
3) 'Riviera Blue' or 'Mexico Blue' PTS '15 991 (at McKenna in CA)
4) 'Lichtgrün' PTS '15 Turbo S (at Porsche of San Diego, Ca).

PS Readers of this thread have already seen photos of 1, 2 & 4. Below is the PTS '15 991 Carrera 4S that just arrived at McKenna!
I like that config a lot. Maybe consider some deviated stitching as well? Mostly, I'm anxious for Porsche to update the 911 configurator so that it renders deviated leather and stitching as they have for the Cayenne.
Not my build,I'm just updating Eduardo's thread with new PTS I come across...hopefully it will prove beneficial to someone...
I have the joy of owning a PTS TTS in Mexico Blue. It was ordered by the GM of a local dealership, being his favorite color. It cannot be captured in a picture although the pics above are darn close.
Anyone is welcome to come see in person, if ever interested in ordering the color.
This is a great thread! Thought I would share our new 991. This is a second post from my intro a few weeks ago. We can not be more thankful to be the caretaker of this Porsche!

I took a photo of a 'Riviera Blue' at this year's R Gruppe Treffen. This is NOT the same car, correct? Are you the original owners or you just acquired it from the first owners?
