How many actually have a 2017 Panamera on order?
#121
Pretty variable right now. Early orders were held up because of need for EPA clearance - that finally happened in early March.
I placed my order for a Turbo in February - it was a March allocation - and was built by March 24; hit the water on April 6 and arrived in Jacksonville today (April 19). I would anticipate that I will pick it up around May 1. SO GIVEN THAT EXPERIENCE (which I think was fast) 3 MONTHS
On the other hand, I ordered a 911 C4S in October; it was supposed to be a December build, but factory holiday closing pushed it into January; production was complete by January 24; it sat in Emden for a month and did not reach Jacksonville until March 17; it stayed in port in Jacksonville for 18 days. SO GIVEN THAT EXPERIENCE - 7 MONTHS
Bottom line - think you can count on that range and pick the middle as a best guess

Picking up Panamera Turbo in 5 hrs.
this will be my first Porsche. So far, the dealership has been very kind and supportive. I saw one today and booked it. It's almost top spec, though a few small things that I wanted were missing including the sunroof which is a bummer. They said the next production slot would be sometime in September which is too long of a wait for me. Haven't yet taken a test drive yet so quite excited as how it rides.
GT metallic
Black interior
high gloss (door handles, windows, etc.)
21 inch high gloss wheels.
i am not quite sold on the color though (sapphire blue). I would have liked the dual tone interiors too, but waiting almost 10 months is a big no.

Got my Panamera turbo at the factory on April 20 from a late November order and currently touring Europe and loving it! I have posted some pics in other threads but thought I'd put them here as well.
Here are some pics -
At her birthplace..! Final Assembly building right behind..
Interior (Black/Chalk)
For the European trip, I have gone from Leipzig to Prague to Innsbruck to Maranello to Firenze (Florence) to Monaco. I'm headed north from here to Geneva - Nurburgring - Stuttgart. Love it so far, the car is extremely stable at higher speeds and loves to travel at around 200 kmph. Being back in the US will seem so slow!
A pic outside the Ferrari Formula 1 HQ - felt like I was cheating !!

Built a 2017 4S for my wife. Should be completed soon. Delivery in June. Carrara White Metallic w leather interior Black/Saddle Brown. Lots of extras. Replacing her 2011 E Class with 80K miles. We took delivery in Leipzig of my '17 turbo S cab and she fell in love at the factory. Something about watching those babies being built with those precision teams of folks. Built with passion and efficiencies. 20" Panamera wheels and blacked out door handles and window trim. Should be special. Can't wait!

Volcano grey e-Hybrid, sport design pack, 21" Turbo Wheels, Black leather, Massaging seats in the front (had these in a demo and my word they are good!) with rear entertainment, 4 zone etc.
Was very excited for delivery w/c 8 May, about to close on sale of 911 and now all e-hybrids have been pushed to end June for some software issue. So whether this means delivery end-June or build end-June, I have no idea. Also whether it means they start to roll off the production line then or mine in particular.
Very annoying!!!

So Anastasia arrived last week. I washed her up this weekend and took some "family" pictures. It's an amazing car. 4S Volcano Grey, 911 Turbo Wheels, black leather, Sport Package, Premium Plus, and lots of other goodies.
