Tonight Dr Porsche had a private birthday party at the Museum. A lot of famous Porsche drivers were there.
Tomorrow morning we will drive to the Museum and park all the cars in front at the plaza while we do tour of the Museum's secret stash. And a factory tour too.
After that we will drive to Weissach to see the good stuff.
But today after the delivery I had a tour of the factory already, but had to wait at the door until a certain time as there was a special car that was on the line and we had to wait till it is out of sight before entering. No, I don't know what that is as I can't quite see it.
On the line, every other car is a GT car. And I am not joking, it's is literally packed with them. A 718 then comes a GT2RS, then another 718 and a GT3 Touring, couple more 718 then another Touring and a GT2RS, a Targa then a GT3RS, Since they do 260 cars a day, them must be making 120+ GT cars a day right now. All European specs
@Kimi, and sorry I haven't paid much attention to the weave yet. But I will have a look in the morning. I am just in love with the bespoke interior Exclusive created right now.

During my factory collection 2 weeks before, we have seen 3 golden Exclusive painted body shells in the storage shelf over the production line waiting for assembly. May be one of them was your car...
The „special“ car on the line ist the pre-production of the 992. In every shift they train the staff with one 992 and search for problems...during this time no visitors are allowed in the factory.
I also met Mr. Porsche today at the shareholdersmeeting at Stuttgart in the morning near the factory.

Nick, I understand Porsche is no longer taking orders for the 991 911's except for GT cars and GTS.
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.

Mine was a March production/completion as noted on the door sticker.
I guess that's a good sign for people still hoping to get a GT car of some sort unless they are just way behind on production vs orders. 100 GT cars per day would fill those orders pretty quickly I think. Probably just comes down to end of production rather than just wanting to limit supply. I mean at some point they gotta start spinning up for the 992 and end 991 all together.

992 apparently won't be available until early next year, so I guess they have enough time (and capacity) to build some more GT models along the way...

Did you spec the carbon wheels?
those alloy black wheels with the gold contour is really nice
Congratulations for this special car.
what's about the convertible? will be interesting to see how they customize the soft top. this car is not shown anywhere.

What a striking Porsche! At first, one was skeptical of the Turbo SE but the results are stunning.
BlueFlame: If Porsche is starting "pony" production runs for the 992, when is the factory producing the rumored Speedster variant of the 991.2?

CGX car nut:BlueFlame: If Porsche is starting "pony" production runs for the 992, when is the factory producing the rumored Speedster variant of the 991.2?
The car should be in Goodwood in a few weeks, but I have no clue when the normal production starts.
I just can say that I have seen a flipchart at the end of the production line with handwritten notes „Probleme beim 992“ - first we were not allowed to enter the production area during the factory tour...but close to the end we got permission and I saw the flipchart.
Our tour guide was more then embarassed about the mistake of the line-workers and shouted at them...
As mentioned before, they are producing a lot of GT-cars at the moment - we have seen tons of them - at least every second car during factory collection was a GT car.

Now that I have had the car for over 1 day, I can see why only idiots thinks this car is over priced.
here is the detailed interior pics.
Every single leather piece standard on the Exclusive is an option on the regular Turbo S.
Add on the aero kit, then the PTS paint. Then the carbon fibre details. Then the carbon roof and hood. Also add the painted exterior plastics and the carbon mirrors.
Finished that, try to do a bespoke interior via Exclusive.
When done, add the power kit.
Oh almost forgot, the bespoke wheels.
The Exclusive Turbo S comes out ahead of the regular Turbo S.
There is so much they showed us in Weissach, I could write a book for the afternoon tour.
Mission E vs Tesla Model S. Think Mercedes S class vs a Corolla. Model S is done. Period.
Their special non-road legal car that was on Youtube, I already placed an order direct with them.
The other non road legal car, it will be very competitive with whatever AMG and McLaren is doing, They also standardized stuff with the Cup car so it will be a even easier race are to maintain.
The unobtainable, I ma so gonna sell one of my existing Porsche for it.
The other cars that was rumoured, it is what it is been rumour at.
The car that's above the rumoured cars, well they are still deciding, but judging from their reactions, it is going into production, they still need to figure out how to do the induction system though. Right now it is like a Frankenstein, with GT parts stolen from other lines.
DJM48:Nick
Love the pictures but now have a headache trying to decipher your comments about upcoming models!!
Sounds like I will get to see the Speedster at least at Goodwood.
David
I had the same problem. I suspect Nick couldn’t reveal too much. His Turbo Exclusive S is fabulous. Thank God he didn’t go with black.
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.

Visited Manthey yesterday and Thomas (general manager) tok us for a guided tour and told us some things..... So Nick, if we combine what you learnt in Weissach with what I learned at Manthey we will probably have a pretty good picture....
See you tomorrow and you better hit the sack early....

I am very excited about finding out more about this car . Probably , the ultimate week end track toy .

The other cars that was rumoured, it is what it is been rumour at.
This is the speedster or maybe the GT4 with NA ( ??? ) engine ???
