Just got a message from my SA --- my Turbo is on the SFL Composer! Departed Emden this morning and expected to reach Halifax by 11/24. Add a couple of weeks for rail to Toronto plus a week (hopefully) at the dealership. Just in time for Christmas 🎄🎁.

Hmmm, that's frustrating. Mine reached V311 on 10/25 and somehow didn't make it.

Just curious, when did your car reach V331 (Entry Port of Emdem) status? I was hoping my Turbo would be on the Amethyst Ace but my SA said it didn't make it.

Yeah, maybe some of the responses were overreaching but I think ending your original post with "likely a deal breaker" set it off. I don't think hate was intended.

Thanks Jeff. Yes our builds are very similar! Good suggestion on having a test piece done. Maybe once I see the car in person (expecting a late November or early December delivery) I'll have a different impression of the gloss black.

I ordered my Frozen Blue Turbo in part for the (IMHO) aesthetic improvements over the 4/4S, including the shape of the front splitter and the (fake) rear vents. However, I'm only partly sold on the high-gloss black finish of the lower trim parts and wheel arches. Yes they look slick but almost...

Not easy to capture Frozen Blue Metallic in photos --- most camera sensors tend to shift blue. Based on seeing the colour in person, I think the colours in these photos (posted previously in this thread) are fairly representative (assuming your monitor is reasonably well calibrated). In direct...

My build includes the Thermally and Noise insulated Glass and just moved to V260 (Vehicle Entry to Body Shop) today (October 16th). For reference, change freeze point (V210) was reached on September 11th and vehicle fixed (V250) on September 23rd. And FWIW, I'm in Canada. Not sure if anything...

Agreed about the slush. If anything, the other 20 inch (I wouldn't call them ugly :)) might be easier to clean.

Yep, that's what I'm ordering. As much as I like the look of the larger wheels (I ordered my Turbo with 22 inch Macan Sport wheels), the tires are wide (255/295), so less than ideal for winter use especially in snow. Even the 21s have 255 fronts. So while still wide at 235/285, the 20s are...

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case. I was surprised when I first put my hand on that grab bar (in the demo car with basic leather package) expecting to feel the slight give and softness of leather (fake or otherwise). The hard plastic may look the part but it felt wrong. For me, this...

I believe that option is for the lower centre console to be clad in leather (or Race-Tex). The upper console (with the grab handle) is a different component. You can see it fairly clearly if you look at the Race-Tex version of this option.

Nice combo! One question for you: with the Extended Leather Package in your car, is the outer part of centre console "grab handle" covered in leather? I believe it is (based on the configurator description) but haven't seen an Extended Leather package in person. This was one of the...

Just curious, what size wheels do you have? Hoping you're going to say 22s...

Not available in the US/CAN configurators. As suggested, try Porsche UK, France, etc.

From the mobile app:

I have the same issue with not being able to track my order through the app: "The order no. you entered could not be found." Build locked on Sep 23rd (V250). My SA gave me the VIN, and the app recognizes it, but proof of ownership is required for that to work.

Nothing new to those that have been following along but a nice 2 minute distraction. Apologies if this has already been posted.

Me too; Turbo with VW6 and a production start in mid October (currently at V250). FWIW, I asked my SA about this and he said that the order would not have been accepted if there were supply issues with an option. Hopefully no changes coming...

IGM 4 spotted at the dealer, with Offroad Design package in exterior colour.
