Ordered Aqua Blue, radio, A/C, PDK, Sport Chrono. Build is scheduled for May.

I'm going to try and take it to every DE I can. Regardless, it'll be enjoyed on a regular basis.

Platnum silver (as well as artic) and spyder wheels painted black are available on German configurator.
Why not here?

Yeah they were updated at the beginning of the month for Europe... it coincides with the actual Spyder Dealer Launch there. My guess is our configurator will be updated when our Dealer launch happens (Beginning of April).

That's a good question... One I have asked a few times on the Planet. No one answers so I assume no dealer has got a second allocation yet for the 2011 MY. I could be wrong though.

I have been following this thread and all can say this car is cool! I want to order one. Is it a 1 year production only? I do want PTS, if available. Thanks!

Champion has 5 allocations left. I like Mike Peters since we spent literally 6 hours over several months making sure the car will be exactly what I want from deviated stitching to lithium battery, etc.

Hey Rob,
How many total allocations did Champion get? 5 left seems really high? (compared to other dealers)

Also interested to hear your order spec.

LMK,
D.

Just noticed that they are the World's largest Porsche Dealer... So that explains the higher allocations. According to their website they only have 2 Spyder allocations available.

They had 12 originally. He told me that 7 orders firm as of Thursday. The other 5 are all remaining through the summer.

White
cocoa
pdk
bi-xenon
climate
seat belt passage ext color
sport chrono
exhaust
paddle shifters
few misc. (Bluetooth, gear lever trim ext color, radio, crest, painted wheel caps, etc.)
I plan on powder-coating the spyder wheels black at the dealer as well as the 3M paint protection to the front, mirrors, and behind the wheels

Actually cream white over cocoa to produce a subtle classic (timeless) roadster look. We"ll see what happens! I love the cream cocoa combo seen on other cars.

Nice... I have the anorexic version of your car
I think the Cream will look awesome with Cocoa.
I can hardly wait to see pictures of it!
