Welcome Pippsy!

You will love Gentian ( Im biased of course!!) it really stands out in the sunshine and bright days and changes "Mood" on the not so bright days.

Cheers GTB

Thank you all for the warm welcome and I'm glad there are so many in the Gentian appreciation society! The configurator really doesn't do that colour justice in my mind - it was much nicer when I saw it in person.

Yes it will be around 8 months from deposit to collection. It would have been a month sooner as my original build slot was in Feb for a likely March collection but I asked, for various reasons, if I could delay a month. When I first spoke to my SE he told me it might be up to 12 months, and he was surprised back in mid August when I did my test drive and paid the deposit when the system told him it would be a 1Q23 build.

Wonder how many prices rises you'll get hit with between now and collection?

I assume at least 1 more for the 2024 spec car. And maybe another one sometime this year, to prop up Porsches profits !

The most recent price increase is the MY24 increase so hopefully there shouldn’t be further increases this year for anyone still waiting on their build slots!
