On a business lease I found the penalty per mile was actually cheaper (and by a fair margin) than just declaring the miles up front. Worth a check on the PCP.
I went Crayon belts to match in with the leather.
Thought about contrast stitch but because of the two tone leather at some point you get the same colour stitch as the leather, which then defeats the object (unless you went for a different colour stitch to either of the two tone colours).
Gone for black, keeps the trim colours down to 2, black and crayon. Seemed a bit odd as its the standard trim and a downgrade on a Turbo S but for me it looked a lot more uniform.
Did my half day in a CT Turbo S last Friday at Silverstone. Windy day as you can imagine but still managed to experience everything (with the added bonus of the Merc F1 car test in the background)
Great day out as always.
Not sure what the Macan guy was on about last year about Taycans in the...

Amen to none of us are getting any younger! Agreed, order one while you can and enjoy it.
7 years does tend to be the Porsche standard but then again a few of their traditions are changing, GTS always used to be somewhat the "last hurrah" for a particular model prior to a facelift, somewhat not...
For me there is never a right or wrong time, can get too caught up waiting for a model year that you never get the car! Also considering the interim model year changes are usually small; colors, some new options and so on.
Personally I would be concerned getting a Taycan next spring/summer...

Due to go into build 11th March 22
Dealer had 2 Turbo S CT slots in 21, and has just the one so far for 22.
I've ordered it on my Turbo S. Had HUD in an M4 years ago, take it or leave it. Tried it on a demo Taycan and loved it, so much better,. Also I prefer the look of the dash with the HUD cowl, more akin to my GT4 and RS and the old school Porsche cowled dash.
Offroad pack on a Turbo S comes with carbon fibre, I cant see how anyone (on a Turbo S) would pay more money to cover it with gloss black parts!!
Also no Glacier Blue matrix lights available at the moment, they was on the list, so standard matrix it is unfortunately.
Yeah, I wanted to but a) cant wait, and b) who knows when it will be available for Turbo S. apparently only GTS at the moment and for the forseeable. Also the severe lack of Turbo S allocations, if I don’t take this one could be 2023 until another… ?
Well, the time has come and the spec is now finished and locked in. Goes into build mid Feb so here for late March/early April. Spec got a bit of out of hand but your only here once!

Ordered Turbo S Cross Turismo in June 21, got the nod on a March 22 build last week. Local OPC only have that one build slot for a Turbo S CT apparently, and they had 2 slots for 2021. They advised the same on moving to another build (Turbo, GTC etc) would result in a 12 month ish wait. Glad I...
Deposit paid first week of June. Informed 2nd in queue and awaiting allocations. Confirmed last week they have two allocations for November but one is needed for their demo car so no allocation for me. They are hoping for a December/January build slot.
This is for a Turbo S Cross Turismo...
I know my OPC had 1 CT Turbo S allocation for Q2 2021, and they have not received any more since (apparently). I am also aware I am number 2 on the list at my particular dealer so if they only get one more allocation for this year, it won’t be for me!
I did see the one Turbo S allocation they...
