Guys, you don't really expect Porsche to give me a real test mule?
Let me put it this way: It won't be something slower than my ordered Turbo S.

1. A 991 Turbo in traditional 991 disguise?
2. An upcoming Turbo engine from the facelifted Panamera range?
If it's a Panamera you say you have, what's faster than the Turbo S seeing that it's the range's performance pinnacle?
No more teasing! Please please please tell us, haha. [Going with your desire for nice begging. ]

Expecting another encounter thread soon that reads "Wow beat a Lambo on the Autobahn, cruising along at 300+ km/h"

RC - they could have informed you ahead of the delivery time. That is not wonders... I do not understand why you are not extremely pissed at this point.
I have a date for the pickup at Leipzig in less than 30 days and I still did not get the welcome package that explains the details. I had to change my plane tickets because they did not tell me that I had to be there at 8:00am, I assumed that noon was a good time... I cannot book hotels in advance because I do not know how long it will take, etc.. for a $160k+tx purchase I am starting to feel that they need to kiss me first.
Sorry to hear that, this is unacceptable. The problem seems to be that they are packed with factory deliveries. I know this is no excuse but I got a June 27th pickup date for my PTS and Turbo S customers usually have a priority in factory deliveries. So you can imagine how fully booked they are. If they can't cope with it, they shouldn't offer it but apparently there is a picture I can't really see here. This can't be about money only...or is it?!
I guess it's nothing more than a bad communication. Let me explain - they did not push my date, my dealership didn't inform that I had to be there at that date at 8:00am... hence tickets change, but I will make them partially absorb it one way or the other :) I'm really excited to go on my vacation and driving the monster of a car through EU. Since my order I've been waiting 5 months, nothing like you RC of course ;)
Pana Turbo powerkit Factory test... from what I understand it is powerkit that has been factory-tested and tuned. Which should mean better reliability and possibly 25-30 more HP since it's probably from the facelifted generation :) What about the specs that you ordered? they will fit them in? If you were buying the car the resale would be lower, but since you're leasing it - you do not care :)

OK, OK...tomorrow. You guys behave like small children...now you know how my son felt when our car didn't arrive.
Seriously...I am tired, I just want to go to bed but I will take some photos tomorrow and I post them in the afternoon.

You brought all this on yourself, RC. You need to learn how to better manage children's expectations.
Your son's and others'.
