Manufacturers themselves always use MY internally I think.

Well in 2012 Porsche made a 997 911 and a 991 911. Big difference.

You call around, probably can get one. Lot's of persons are removing their names for various reasons, I did. While calling around for another reason (turbo allocations), I got offerred 3 911 50th allocations.

Hi Brett. I am trying to interpret this and you have better info than most. Are you saying only 66 of the 500 cars have been publicly claimed? Are they easily obtained if for example you wanted to get another for your dealership? How does it work?

I'm also a little surprised at the polarization of opinions on the geyser grey- people either really like or really hate. This seems to be the controversial color.

I don't know exactly. The only thing that i know is that the Turbo (S) and 911-50 are on schedule so far. The production of the Gt3 is delayed due to "some issues" and will start in october.

I'm not waiting for a 911-50, I ordered a regular C4S. I postponed the delivery of the car myself to march 2014, although it wouldn't be ready much earlier than that I guess, because of the PTS color.

No reply from Sonnen Porsche yet? I hope he didn't get in trouble for letting out too much secret info!

Thats great news for you! Makes me a bit jealous though! You will have a very low edition number, I assume. When did you order the car?

I've heard they are mixing up the edition numbers - so not necessarily a low number on this one. Order was placed around early July.

I placed my order early june, in the first week it was available. I got one of the first allocations in Switzerland. It seems like orders in Germany are handled with priority. Fair enough! ;-)
