Unfortunately, it appears the Furka Pass won't be open so I won't be able to snag a similar pix to the one you created. We'll hit The Black Forrest and probably the Bernina Pass as we head through Germany and Switzerland.

those are the same, unless something has changed.

i went Zuffenhausen/Stuttgart because that’s the origin, 911 and taycan factory tour, museum…OG Porsche. I’ve never been so made sense to go here. I see no benefit of Leipzig, unless you really want that track time. I’ve read the track is nothing special, more so if you have track experience. So the track wasn’t a draw for me. I’d likely choose zuffenhausen again. Good southern location to head to Swizterland, Black Forest, southern Germany and anything south of there.

That'll be cool! Good choice on delaying delivery. Be sure to check out Susten and Grimsel, maybe those will be open earlier.

Not sure if you've been before, but the MB museum is a high recommend. Very well done.

Yep, MB museum is the nicest I've ever seen. It's a must-see.

@SToronto also would be curious if you have more pics of the car with the interior? You got Cohiba though right?

Thanks! I was going for 70s longhood look with a classic exterior colour that pops and retro styled interior as much as possible, via colours and materials.

It is Cohiba. I actually haven't taken specific interior photos, I've been meaning to do that this season but time hasn't been on my side. I'll try and get some in the next couple weeks before the car sits in my garage for winter. My garage lighting isn't good for photos. The combination has received positive feedback from people at car events. It won't be to everybody's liking. You have to want that heritage vibe and warmth. I finally played with the interior Ambient Light option last night on a quick 30 min spin, looks nice with subtle Orange light.

I also wanted to do some other things that were not possible at the time. They are now on the S/T. Thinking that is why they told me no.
