Looks great - thanks for sharing! For me, that's the first really good look at what my car will look like - the only difference being standard front bumper fascia on mine. What color is your buddy's Turbo cabriolet - is that British Racing Green?
Yessir - British Racing Green with the heritage design interior. It’s a stunner.
Thanks for sharing your immediate impressions - really interesting and answered some of the questions I have particularly about sound generally and the seats (I have back issues so I had to get 18 ways).
BTW that blue looks particularly good in the sun!
As you’re so good at communicating 😄 it would be good to get your impressions in say couple of weeks after having driven it bit more, both good and not so good (guessing no bad?).
I am curious how many people actually ordered the silver end pipes while wanting the black ones?

Thanks for your post and first impressions. Can’t wait for your review once the car is run in. How do you like the manual? Or do you have the PDK? Would you mind to post some more pics? Also from the interior? Don’t have to be all 61 of them, but we sure as hell love seeing pictures here. Makes it easier for all of us to cope with the long wait.
CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS FOR FRUSTRATION??
Judging by my vin I was the first (or one of) on this forum to have their car delivered for PDI.
Arrived in UK late Feb I believe.
Should have collected around 10th March, but the dealer informed me there was a ‘bottleneck’ at the sole UK centre for all carrera PDI’s.
Fair enough but when informed of further delays I demanded to speak to the dealer manager - after all I’ve spent £200k+ ($250k) with them in last 8 mnths!!
That’s when they informed me there’d been a ‘slight accident when offloading from trailer for PDI’.
The tyre was slashed and the alloy damaged.
They ordered a replacement alloy from Germany but the wrong colour arrived !!!
Finally last Tuesday the right colour arrived and the car was collect for PPF - it will be back at the dealer next week. I haven’t seen it yet!
The whole saga begs lots of questions, but hopefully I’ll finally be collecting late next week.
Can anyone beat that??

Absolutely - will share detailed feedback after more seat time. So far the only not so good part is the road noise at highway speeds.

Of course. I have the PDK, but will snap interior pics today and post here.
