regarding PTS :
Informations are very contradicting . Some say they have confirmed orders but .......
My brother , who has also an RS on order wanted PTS. Porsche Switzerland said at the beginning of the week that he could get it . But today he got a call directly form Porsche Germany .
The guy said there will be NO PTS for anybody . All customers who ordered PTS will receive a letter saying that they must choose in the official proposed colors . And that as of today this si the rule and the only rule . He was pretty pissed of at all the forum rumors .
So ......... where is the truth regarding PTS
Porsche only has a limited production window for making the RS.
PTS orders are send to the back of the queue, lining them up from the last slot back, in order to provide lead time to validate the colours on the different surface materials. As the queue gets longer and moving closer to current dates, the window for validation is closing fast. I believe that window is now closed as of 1st week of July and hence no more PTS.
Some 'normal' PTS colours like the 3 mentioned before, black, yellow, blue, were already validated and hence they only needs a lead time of 1 month and can still be ordered. But I believe even the window for those colours area also closing fast if not closed already.
I believe UV's window is also closed right now, for some reason Porsche has trouble keeping that paint in production and whatever is made already will be the only ones. Maybe Porsche underestimate the demand for it.
I suspect the RS will only stay in production till maybe January or so, for some reason I think it will not be a full year till next May. I think the limiting factor being the lack of availability of the LWB. Lear simply can't make them fast enough.
