Re: My Panamera Turbo S is almost ready
Congratulations, RC!
At long last, eh? It looks absolutely fantastic, and I like the added subtlety of the black on the Turbo S - very stealthy and understated. Hope you get it sooner than later.
The stickers covering the car remind me of my two-weeks-away-from-delivery Cayenne...

Re: My Panamera Turbo S is almost ready
spudgun:Finally! Great car, enjoy it! And please shed some light on the reasons why it got delayed that long, guess it will be an interesting read.
Have fun with it!
The reason my car was delayed was because of technical issues, this is all I can say, sorry.
On the upside, the car should be really a performance monster. 
Should...I just hope this isn't the next disappointment.

Re: My Panamera Turbo S is almost ready
RC:
I am sorry, I can't go into details but my car has undergone some technical modifications which were necessary to allow the delivery before the factory vacation.
Let me put it this way: I have a pretty unique (well...with seven other owners) car.

Let me put it this way: It was worth the wait (final verdict after run in period).
The mods also only concern the engine and the engine software (at least this is what I was made aware of).

Re: My Panamera Turbo S is almost ready
Ron (Houston):
Very cool Christian, Congrats!!!!
I bet the kids can't wait to get in it
You can't even imagine: My son already drives me crazy, he fell in love with the white factory loaner and cried when I returned it. 
My wife and daughter had to drive in the back of my C63 this weekend and while they really like the Mercedes, they were used to the Panamera factory loaner and started complaining "more comfortable...", "four doors...", "less noisy..." and so on.
I miss the traction of the Panamera factory loaner: No matter what I did with that car, traction was never an issue, amazing.
Unfortunately I have bad news too regarding my Panamera Turbo S: It came on Pirelli PZero tires, not the initially indicated Michelin. There is a reason for that (the SuperSport wasn't ready for customer delivery as far as I heard), the Pirelli PZero seems to be preferred for higher top speeds on the Panamera.

I know I ended up with over 4L during my ownership of the new CTT.

JimFlat6:
Special? Lets guess....
You have a MY2012 that actually was built to MY2013 specs.
Could be but since I don't know the 2013 specs, I don't have a clue.
Let me put it this way: Some major performance related engine parts are not available in any Panamera, with the exception of my car and a couple (7?) of others. The benefit of waiting another two months after production completion. The alternative would have been to get the car in September...or never.

Wonderbar:
Such a wonderful time for a car enthusiast! Enjoy every moment RC!
Thanks, Sydney. I'm looking forward to the first performance tests once the car is run in. Luckily, I have a very good comparison now.

Re: My Panamera Turbo S is almost ready
Congrats RC.... Looks like you will have a real beast.
My black/red 911s arrives July 18. I'll post some pics when in proper hands. When you coming down to Miami?

reginos:
Your Special treatment Panamera Turbo S must be the definite "Autobahn Stuermer" .
As long as it is a better Stuermer than those of the German football team... 
Congratulations, Christian, very nice ride!
