??? dealers from Switzerland, Australia and Russia said it is week 10/2014 middle of march, are you sure your information correct? i have official letter from porsche center that it is week 10.
all production in Germany is arranged in weeks. in official pdf catalogue it is written that colours appears 11/2014 at the earliest and that means week 11 not month.
maybe you have another information? what is the source?

This is what Porsche writes in their German Pricelist:
Available from 10/2014
- Exteriorcolors: Sapphire Blue metallic, Impulse Red metallic
- Interiors: Two-tone: Black-Saddle, Saddle-Luxor Beige, Agate Grey-Pebble Grey
- Interiors: Single color: Saddle full leather interior
Available from 04/2014
- Sideblades painted
- Interior package Carbon
- Memory package
- Exterior colors: Mahogony metallic, Palladium metallic, Dark blue metallic, Aurum metallic
- Interiors: Two-tone: Black-Garnet red (same as Carrera red)
- Interiors: Single color: Espresso, Black, Luxor Beige
I asked at my dealership a month ago about this and they said that it was week 4 and week 10, since Porsche always speaks in weeks (production weeks) and this is correct. Look at the configurator sometimes and you'll often see for example "available from 32/2013" behind an option. There are not more than 12 months in a year as far as I know, so it clearly means week 32 in that case.
However, I don't know anything 100% for sure. I decided to order an A6 Avant instead of a Macan, so I haven't had any information about the car since then. (Allthough I still try to keep updated as much as possible
)
Regarding the other options, like PDCC, PSE, etc... Nothing about these options yet. I highly doubt there will be PDCC at all. Ceramic brakes may become available when (if) Turbo S arrives and the PSE...? I have no idea. From the video's I've seen, the Macan already sounds pretty good, so maybe it doesn't need a Sports exhaust. In the end it's an SUV, not a sportscar. (Although Porsche claimes different things, but that is marketing BS)

That's indeed bad news for the people that want to order a Macan. Especially because they showed the car in Sapphire blue on its introduction, but one can only order it almost a year later! It seems to be a popular color for future Macan owners. Porsche could lose some customers....
I wonder why they wait so long with the availabillity of those colors and options....
For some reason I get the idea that Porsche is pushing the limits of its production capacity. Too many models and versions of models in a too short period of time IMO....

Not a year - first cars in May - sapphire in november - about 5 months wait. I think it worth it!

unfortunately I have another answer from a person in official porsche importer:
this colour can be ordered in march 2014 but first cars will go in production in october 2014. So the right answer is : can be configured in 10 week 2014, go in production in 10 month 2014 (october) that is 100 %. In Russia, and USA. Dont know about Australia and Europe. But think it is the same.
