Petevd:

I am a bit confused by your statement. In
1969, Porsche offered a grey color on their
912 called 'Slate Grey', color code 615.



That same hue is available to you today via
PTS. It is, unsurprisingly, color code 615!

'Slate Grey' was Porsche's only color that year
that even remotely is close to looking like the
Italian 'Grigio Telesto'. Who told you that your
1969 912 is ''Gregio Telesto'? Was your 912
requested in a unique PTS color? And what
does the Color ID Plate reads in your door jam?

That's what I thought about Saffron, ie for Turbo and Turbo S, but now been told that its for special version only, so not sure.

Want a Targa 4GTS in this Colour.....Have a Blk Blk one but think this new Saffron will look better.....

Eduardo, I have two 1969s. The only things stock about the one above are the steering column and doors. As part of the "renovation" I did my own PTS a couple years back. I was thinking I'd match it if I could ever get PTS. Long shot...

Looks great!

Don't lose hope for PTS on the .2 991 gt3. Who knows
how many slots PAG will open up! In the end, it's all
about getting lucky. Do you feel lucky, Petevd?

Magic eight ball-My dealer says no new Cayenne until Q1-Q2 next year. Is this accurate? Also will base engine be twin turbo 2.9 v-6?

Thanks for the very recent update Eduardo! Was wondering if Grigio Telesto will be approved for Macan/Panamera since last was only slate grey 6601 and Grey black.

Haha why are you concerned with UK?


The message from each Porsche importer website (i.e. www.porsche.com/ *country abbreviation*) is custom by the associated importer/subsidiary.


Every country is going to present communication differently to customers depending how they deal with GT allocations, limited allocations, etc. UK prefers to make it very clear that although you can configure and "buid" a car, they want to be explicit about the disclaimer that it only has limited availability.


Just like when 911R is sold out, PCNA have the message "911R is sold out, thank you for your interest blah blah blah". Many other countries don't have this message when entering the 911R configurator, doesn't mean its not sold out in other countries. PCNA just wanted to add the message.


So in truth it is limited availability everywhere.

The initial plan was for the new Cayenne to appear Nov 2017, now it would seems like early 2018.

Early 2018 for the announcement, production or arrival to dealers? Can mean different things. A dealer told me late 2017 start of production for early 2018 arrivals.
