Quote from an article published today in Top Gear mag...

"I’d love to be all contrarian and say it’s just a GT3 Touring with dented doors, but it’s life affirmingly, head-swimmingly brilliant. When I drove the S/T on the launch last year, Andy P unashamedly admitted that the previous ‘purist’s special’ 911 – the R – was in his learned opinion a bit of a rush job and he really fancied another go with shorter gearing and no pesky rear steer."

Not sure what is slowing production, but it seems they're slowly grinding through the backlog.

lol apologies! Was curious because it seems like non-PTS cars are getting produced without issue and all PTS cars are getting delayed. Delays seem to be specific to PTS

My S/T looks like it went into production yesterday. PTS, CXX. Although, who knows how reliable TYD is at this moment.

Does anyone know if they incorporate CXX time into this calendar?

Looks like it includes CXX time as well. Mine will be in production for over a month and I have a heavy CXX build.

Thanks, most of my CXX is extended PTS stuff so would imagine should be easy to incorporate., maybe even on the line itself.

Nope, no additional anything is done on the line. In fact I now do not opt for any additional PTS stuff, because it can delay for months beyond. The extra stuff (seats, keys, trim) is actually hand painted.

@cosmos and @pts

My PTS build is still stuck on 27th August. When do you think the big bump is coming?

Headed to PPF Monday.


Carbon roll bar. Little modifications needed to factory carpet. Along with Emotion brackets to secure.
