Should be interesting. Looked at the App which I have loaded on my iPhone and have no idea why it is useful- have never had a desire to remotely fold the mirrors before.

Congratulations! Yours is the first I've heard of being delivered on the West Coast. Mine has been sitting on the dock in San Diego since December 7, awaiting EPA (now approved) and CARB (still pending) clearance.

Enjoy. Please let us know your thoughts about it upon delivery, and again when you have a few miles on it!

'18 Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo... "sitting on the dock of the bay..."

Mine has been sitting in port since mid December. Have we confirmed CARB certification and if so when will the dealers be getting them?

Of course if you have driven the sedan the equivalent sport turismo is basically identical.(Which is superb). Only a few miles on a snowy Canadian day but a feeling if tightness and quality. Have the 18 way seats which are as always excellent. Sorting out the electronics setup a bit serious and this never seems to be a Porsche forte Voice recognition is in my view a bit inferior to (say Seri) althhoughthis is a very early view. Asked my dealer about the famous garage opener problem and she acknowledged that it did not work universally.

However, the car is just a flight to drive on very first acquaintance...going for its front end wrap Monday and then ceramic coating.

Not on West coast BTw...Toronto. Was first delivered by my dealer

Has matching red wheels for summer use which look better I will deal with the dealer plate surrounds later

The last pics if of course from the Porsche website and you will notice something missing.

side markers.

None on Euro cars, so not white side markers available.

I saw your LO 991.1 GT3RS driving around the Port Lands last summer. Nice plates! Why no ED for this one? Not sure if you care or not but Victor **** took photos of your car and posted them to WeChat. It seems as if he is suggesting someone else specced the car. Also, now the CSSC head and a Chinese auto broker know of the existence of your car, FYI.

How does that work? Are you shipping it by plane or boat? How does insurance work? Very nice spec, BTW.

Ronan

Ship by boat /truck to Frankfurt for convenient pickup. You need transit insurance and also road insurance for driving in Europe. Generally the sniper will arrange everything except for road insurance which my broker arranges from here - did it before with my 7.1RS. It was wearing the NRDSCHLF plates at the time which tied the Polizei up in knots but once they saw they were legal there was no problem.There are a couple of issues..nav system is not programmed for Europe and not an easy fix though can use Apple. Need to have hi-vis jackets, first aid kit, Will prob put fire extinguisher in too.

Happy with spec, but was not able to have black Porsche centre badges on the red summer wheels so have the coloured ones. Since I have blacked out all chrome etc I would prefer the front badge to be the only point of colour.

All minor nits to be dealt with

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
