Sonderwunsch is the dept that does CXX. CXX is the internal coding. Unfortunately, it seems like CXX is not good for minor things because of their current demands far exceed capacity. Which likely means Sonderwunsch will only take larger or more creative CXX orders. There is currently a $10K minimum, which once again is a bit misleading, because of their current demand I don't think they would take a $10K CXX request.

If I wasn't about to get PTS for my 4RS Shark Blue would have been the color that I would have chosen.

Smallest ADM I've heard of for the S/T thus far. Doesn't answer your question but surely a data point for your consideration

given that allocations released about 1 month ago, suspect they tried to shake down folks for much higher amounts but failed, Indicates demand perhaps not as high as anticipated? Agree that at close to $500k seems a bit silly

Is that an allocation with a confirmed PTS slot?

Do it. It’s the best GT car to come out of Porsche since the 911R.

I wonder how many will get cold feet / bail once they see the fully loaded cost of the S/T.

Yup, new business opportunities, wife vetoes the purchase, etc.

Yep or even when the build is about to lock, a new ‘hot toy’ is announced

I know a GM who is giving their one and only non-VIP ST to a guy who has relatively very little Porsche buying history but was just first on a very short list. I doubt this person has thought through carrying costs of a $300k+ purchase + lease interest + insurance etc… and may just say F it, it’s too much… we will see
