Exciting day today! I think I may have set a Porsche world record. Signed the buyer’s order on February 3rd, car locked the same week, build completed on February 28th and vehicle delivered today on April 4, 2024 in New Jersey. Eight weeks from cradle to grave, which would be quick for a Chevrolet, but is super fast for a Carrera S. For those of you waiting, hang in there it is definitely worth it…

PDI tomorrow formal delivery on Saturday morning. Here are some photos and videos of the unloading today. Also, got to see a brand new Cayenne S get damaged coming off the transport vehicle. The Cayenne was too close and the hydraulic lift ripped the front bumper right off the car. If possible, be there for delivery.

looks great! How do you like the look of the carrera classic rims? I have a guards red carrera s coming later this year with those rims and was between that and the spyder but felt the spyder looked kinda cheap due to cast form.

This is a gorgeous spec, congrats man. The chalk/grey interior goes so well with (what I'm assuming is?) arctic grey.

Thanks guys!

Yes - Arctic Grey with Slate Grey/Chalk full leather. Was growing tired of dark black interiors and wanted to try something new and special. Really like how the light color opens up the cockpit and contrasts great against the dark colored dash, shifter, instrument panel and switch gear.

@jstap808 the Carrera Classic wheels look amazing in person. They will look even better when the center caps are installed.

I got an update and my car is due to Freeport next week. It must be on the SFL Conductor for sure! Ordered this 3RS back in July of 2023 and it's finally going to be here, just in time for our first track event at the end of April. Can't wait!

The classic wheels, Arctic Grey and interior make for a super classy combo. So nice

Default Already 3 days ahead…dare I hope🫣

Curious how often people get allocated cars early. Seems like delays are fairly common.

@CamsPorsche Can you tell me what color ar you slats on the engine cover? I think they change colors based Base, Sport Design, Sport Design Glossy, Aero Kit and AeroKit Glossy... I have the Aero Kit (non glossy), so I think it's Agate Grey but just wanted confirmation. I'm also consider getting the kit to paint them another color...
