Yup, I gave them my build with shark blue. It got rejected when they submitted. I had to change color.

Well shoot. I suspected it would happen with the .2, not prior to. Were you given any info as to what is going to replace it?

Edit: What did you select for now?

Nope, they had no idea. That was my first question. Hopefully another blue before my lock in date hah.

Edit: I picked arctic grey. https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRGDFLD8

According to my dealer;
  • March 1st Shark Blue is NLA
  • March 15 Racing Yellow is NLA
He said Porsche has not yet announced what the replacement colors will be.....

Agreed re another shade of blue. A nice green would work too

Arctic Grey is a good second choice.

Probably nothing until 992.2 release. They probably won't introduce new colors with only a few months of production left.

My car is at the port waiting for its ride across the pond to Davisville, expected to leave on 11/20 according to TYD. Is there a way to figure out which boat(s) it could be on based on the expected estimated departure date and arrival port?

I would think Porsche would have a replacement color available as soon as Racing Yellow & Shark Blue are no longer used in production. I think Porsche will announce once all build slots up to March 15th, 2024 have been locked. We will find out soon enough!

Some TYD fun this morning...been sitting at port since 10/30 and originally scheduled to leave on 11/11. This morning the TYD update is that my 911T will leave Emden on 11/27 and by magic of time travel will arrive in Baltimore on 11/26. :-)

I feel like a dog being asked to balance a biscuit on its nose for an indefinite amount of time.

Formally graduated from the waiting room last week!

My GTS coupe arrived at the dealership on Thursday and, at my request, the shipping wraps were left on the car. I removed the wraps myself while the car underwent pre-delivery inspection, then made the inaugural voyage over to the detailing shop for ceramic coating. The dealership was kind enough to set me up with a loaner while the car underwent paint correct and ceramic coating. I picked up the car on Saturday and I’ve been in awe ever since.

Got the update my car has completed manufacturing. Now to wait for it to get here from the port. Unfortunately they only sent me one picture from the assembly line which was from the paint shop. Better than nothing I guess

Interestingly, tonight TYD updated for me and my car has left the German port as of 11/11 (not the 11/27 date that was posted this morning). My car is floating somewhere north of Scotland right now.
