So a bunch of new January production cars have come through and have taken us over 100 so far in January so production is picking back up!

We also broke the 1,000 milestone! with now 1,067 cars accounted for.

I've also added a new tab to the google sheet called "Options" which as the name implies is a list of every available option and its cost in US dollars. It is grouped somewhat haphazardly so I am open to suggestions about organization. There is also room for error. I have actually been using it to check some of my old entries for errors and found some strangeness in MSRP's definitely occurred when the numerical sequence was broken. It seems a lot of the reported MSRP's may include delivery. IDK. it's weird but there is no mathematical way to get the two series to reconcile. Anyway, if you see any pricing errors let me know.

Also JBM just overtook DBM in popularity, just as Rhodium eventually will. DBM is pretty much a lock for the rarest GT4 color aside from PTS.

Speaking of PTS I have half of all PTS colors identified. I hope to have them all one day so if you ever see a PTS car get that VIN!

I guess that is all I have for now. cheers!

Edit: Yowsers, while going back through some clean up I ran in to the highest option GT4 to date. By $5,000. and it doesn't even have LWB. It is 1071 in the database. There is your benchmark folks. Very similar color scheme to my car actually.

Well we just moved into Feb production VIN's so that means January production is for the most part complete. And it came it at 137 cars. Pretty far off the capacity which seems to be about 250.

It did not move the needle much on the projection for final production.

Just waiting to hear if there are going to more allocations.

note: Jan production still may go up a few more cars as some show up late. Particularly PTS and Euro deliveries.

Pretty awesome spreadsheet! Thanks for the effort.

I filtered for my options and colors and was surprised there isn't a single car spec'd like me. Guess I have a unicorn Or I have really bad taste

There are many unique builds in the system, especially now that it's been expanded to show more options, so don't worry (or don't go feeling too special )

gmaki

Highlighted!

But did you find your car at least? If so which one is it?

johnny2five

It's not on there yet. Scheduled to go into V250 next week.

Wow, thanks for putting this together!

My car went V260 on 01/25/2016 (but hasn't gone V270 or V300 yet from what I know) and I don't see it in the database yet.

gmaki

Yes, it won't appear in the database until it is assigned a VIN.

Thanks again Gmaki for putting this awesome database together. Is your spreadsheet linked and therefore automatically updated when VINs are created or do you have to check your source and import the new data manually? Essentially trying to understand how close to real time the database is to Porsche's system. Thx in advance

gmaki

Unfortunately I have to do it manually. So the "currentness" of the data is a factor of how recently I have checked it.

I actually just updated it two days ago so right at this moment the information is very current.

However I have gone two weeks without updating in the past.

Think I found my car! ID # 1115 - Only odd thing is that the MSRP is $55 more than my initial build sheet shows ... must be the increased destination charge (from $995 to $1,050) ... didn't realize Porsche would do that to existing orders.


Thanks again!
