Thank you. I specced full leather with platinum stitching as I was going for more of a classic look with this build.

We are in the same boat! I am excited to see your slate gray!

I went with PTS voodoo blue and have buckets as well. October build...hopefully to the states early January.

Thx. I've been told there's a really good chance that I'll get a build slot soon. Does anyone know when the next PTS window is?

^I missed my PTS window and was told that it won't likely be available until the face lift cars are announced.. So I'm guessing next spring/summer?

That's going to be a stunning car. Congrat's!

I have to admit, I waffled between Guards Red and stepping up to Voodoo Blue for so long that I missed the PTS window. I'm glad to see you chose what I think is an absolutely stunning color.

Many happy, safe miles.

I've a PTS order confirmed also. Do you have any indication that they will build PTS cars in October? I've heard they build them all in one batch.

I've seen posts saying October and some November. Mine begins October 19th.

So non-metallic slate?

Exceptional choice.

My RS is coming Riv blue to match my GT3 and my GT4 is an extroverted Grungeld uni. However, I do have first dibs on a 'secret' dealer order non metallic slate TTS cab with stitching and other options. Sorely tempted.

Drool... A McQueen 911 was one of the first screen savers I ever had on a computer, like WAY back in the day when I could only dream of actually having a Pcar of my own. This will be the color of my unicorn when the stars align for me, until then Im almost more excited to see your car delivered than my own. I confirmed 615 with Porsche Exlusive a couple months back and that's the ticket, for sure. Major congrats!!

Are you saying they will be building current GT4s with face lifted Cayman/ boxsters? And PTS will be available then?

Or PTS GT4 will be available again when they announce the face lift?

Please elaborate on what you were told.

Yes, monochromatic (non-metallic) slate grey. And thank you.

Not RealityGT....
I was told that PTS on the GT4 will 'probably' resume with the 2017 cars, which will be the same vehicle that is currently available, body style and engine wise. The Cayman refresh will be a year behind the boxster refresh.

Thanks for the info.

When you say 2017, do you mean MY 2017 that will be produced in the latter half of 2016, or cars actually produced in 2017?

So if we opt for PTS for next year's allocation, then I guess we will not be getting the car before the first half of the year at least.

Does this still fall within their original production of 2,500 units or are we talking about producing beyond that?

Told by whom? Neither Porsche nor PCNA have made anything official. At this point all we have is speculation at best, conjecture and WAG's at worst.
