For the 911ST, it all had to do with your slotted production month. In the beginning of the allocation, PCNA informed all the dealers to submit their PTS request as early as possible, so that they could try to accommodate all requests. This was all going fine until Porsche ran into supplier issues (eg. carbon pieces) and this really messed up their PTS allocations. Since some of the parts comes directly from the suppliers pre-painted, you could see why this presents a problem when certain suppliers are having quality issues.

So all of a sudden, PTS allocations starting from June onwards started to be restricted and dwindled. And since most of the PTS builds were pushed to the later production months and Porsche prioritized regular colors in the earlier months of the building schedule (eg. February to May), this is what created the shortage of PTS cars on the ST overall.
Makes sense... and I am super lucky to get an S/T in any form... but I'm still a little sad I didn't get PTS.

Spot on. This is their one and only allocation.

Ok, no heritage. GT silver stitching. Door mod, you kept the carbon trim and handles and well done on the leather pulls.

Assume you did seat center to match door and possibly got talked into “911ST” for the headrest in silver too. Can’t tell if you got rear quarters also bi-colour leather too and door sills.

Lower dash and end caps….probably centre bin as well and knee pads brown too?

What little bits did you do!?

Exactly all of the above + Crayon stitching, Crayon seatbelts, limitation plate in Silver instead of gold and bits of Espresso leather on the carbon fibre roll cage.

ST allocations are done. No more are modifiable.

That confirms with my 528 number I was told last year, including the give or take 10 (looks like 8) VIP VIP cars like the one that went to Alwin Springer and such.

I wonder if that 520 included those cars? I may have misunderstood with the 8 or so extra cars.

If memory serves, Canada got 55 cars…(someone else might be able to confirm), so 465 cars for PCNA.

So about 26% of ST production went to North America.

There are no more S/T allocations to be had. Frankly, I’m surprised there are still SC allocations.

Alwin Springer wanted an S/T, love it. Wonder what other P-cars he has in his stable.

Far less than I thought. Seems the US is getting a smaller piece of the pie of specialty cars these days.

80-100 PTS?

Are you asking 80-100 PTS for North America? I think more than 55 for US and 20 for Canada. But ultimately won’t know till it’s all said and done.

The US is getting a smaller portion of the speciality cars but on the PTS front, Porsche did a much better job on the ST than it did with the R.
