991 GT3:
RC:
Thank you for the photos. I do not understand why this is the World Premiere (didn't Porsche use the same words for the Moscow presentation back in May?) but the more I see the 991 Turbo S, the more I want the car to be here already in my garage. 14 days until production completion and 23 days until pickup...oh boy, not easy for me.
Hi RC,
Was your car delayed too? Can remember you got it beginning of Sept?
Unfortunately my GT3 is. So I know, these are 'very long days'
My car was delayed by one day only (Sept. 27th instead of Sept. 26th).
There is a delivery embargo for the Turbo S until (incl.) Oct. 5th, so I wouldn't be able to pick up the car earlier anyway.
The car is going to be at the dealer around Oct. 1st or 2nd if I am lucky, so maybe I can at least "visit" it and take some pictures.
Speaking of the GT3: So far, I haven't heard of a single customer delivery but it is about time (rumors indicated end of August, early September). Not sure however it is going to happen during the IAA, maybe shortly afterwards.
I have two disappointments regarding the IAA: I expected to see the Turbo Cab and the GT3 RS or at least the Macan. The Macan has been officially postponed, the Turbo Cab and GT3 RS haven't even been mentioned yet officially. The IAA presentation of the 918 was expected, same goes to the Turbo but for such a high importance autoshow, I expected at least one surprise from Porsche, which didn't happen. I kind of have a feeling that something went wrong but...
