That looks awesome. Which PTS colour is this? Brewster?
On the topic of paint, it's just mind blowing how Porsche doesn't feel their unicorn didn't deserve fully painted body panels. Ok so it adds 2 more lbs, but thats 1 ****. Then to factor their stance of "these are consumables", it's a road car is it not? At least that's the talking point. In this area it's a +1 for the R as they had no bulky exposed plastics.
My completion was supposed to be yesterday but just pushed back 2 months to August with October-November delivery. Started production in February and got pictures of the chassis from back then. They are having real problems with these carbon bits….
Similar, started production in March, then delayed to May then June and now end of August. I have the two pictures so I know it was started. Curious where they are storing these partially built cars? I think they should reduce the 1 year lease by each month the production is delayed.

Whats the trick to get the photos of production on the app? Same delay on mine as the above.
Mine landed this morning...I almost had lost all hopes as till 2 weeks ago it was showing as "no production date" in the system ! Then it switched to "in transport" basically overnight ! Summer is saved !
maxt, would you mind sharing more photos of your Underberg Green? Your ST is exactly how I originally spec'd my ST build... Underberg with full heritage including decals, but sadly PAG denied PTS.
Yours and KSAF's build are the only in Underberg as far as I know.
Why not? I tracked my Touring a few times and it was an adventure with the lack of aero.
Agree. I track every car I own except for SUVs. Why? Where else can you push it to the max safely and not be a menace to society? M5 Comp? Check. S2000. Check. RS4. Check. GT3 Touring with Manthey... Check.
That’s very well said. Similar to the Matt Farah comparison video.
This is why I don’t buy $1000 bottles of wine, and honestly why I’m not interested in an ST. It would be wasted on me, despite owning many Porsches including a 991.2 GT3.
neo, why are you getting an ST if you won’t notice the 3% difference? Or were you just referring to wine? Honest question.
Just referring to wine! When it comes to cigars, audio equipment and cars.. I may be able to discern a 2-3% difference. That said, I'm sure much of it is within my mind. But that makes me happy. So be it.
I can tell the difference between high end components and I can appreciate where one is better than the other. More often than not the cost differential for this incremental performance difference is massive. Sometimes I think it's worth it, but sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood.
100%. Also depends on the song. I literally spent 6 hours Sunday obsessing over which sounded better with Diana Krall's Live in Paris album... Tidal HiRes (Macbook Pro) to Hermes DDC toslink to McIntosh MX160 DAC vs. Sonos Connect modified by Wyred for Sound SPDIF to McIntosh MX160DAC vs. Oppo SACD to McINtosh MX160 without room correction and with room correction. I decided SACD still sounds best. Then I listened to Dark Side of the Moon. No difference no matter what I did.
So sometimes it's just the song. Sometimes it's just my mood. Sometimes it's just the road.

Looks so good! I wanted Black Olive for my PTS but got turned down. So I am fanboying over your spec.
Picked mine up on the weekend. Put 500 km on it. Weather was perfect as was the drive home. The long wait has been worth it. I don’t drink wine, smoke cigars but definitely felt the suspension difference and overall “lightness” of the car as a whole coming from a touring. Can’t wait to get it on the track in a couple weeks.

I wish I had more pics...I wasn't able to see the car and unfortunately I'm away till mid July so won't be able to pick it up till then !
Dealer wants to keep the surprise effect for the delivery so he's being very stingy with pictures !
Underberg is a very underrated colour imv but it's the perfect shade of green between Irish and Brewster, with a hint of Nato Olive.
