Default Official Waiting Room for 718 Spyder / GT4 / GTS Delivery...

Arrrrgh! The wait is killing me. The weather is PERFECT here and for the first time in 12 years I'm "Porsche-less".

I'm currently at V250, awaiting V300 Vehicle Completion May 28, 2021 for a V900 Dealer Arrival July 30, 2021.

So as "misery loves company" here is a waiting room for all of us to bitch and moan about our FWP (First World Problem).

What are your builds?


P.s. a good PCA buddy lent me his 2011 997.2 TT cab for the weekend. Really, with friends like him, life is actually very good!

I'm right there with ya, it's a brutal wait especially when you don't have another fun car to drive. It was hard to let my GT3 go ahead of time but I did pick up one of the awesome new ND Miata's as an interim car to hold me off and get me ready for the top down experience of the spyder

Quick Q, how are you able to track what stage you're currently at? My SA provided me with a screenshot of the expected dates but is there a portal to track the live progress? My car's build gets locked next week but as it stands now, I'll be rocking a Black spyder on Gold wheels with the Classic interior. I think the spyder calls for a "classier" color but I still want the car to be fun which is why I did the Satin Aurum (Gold) wheels. I think the loud colors belong on the winged cars.

I was afraid that my Spyder will be affected by the chip shortage. Today my SA sent me the updated tracking sheet, it is a huge relief that my car is still on schedule. Here is my timeline:
V260 (Vehicle entry to body shop CP 0.0): 3/26/2021
V270 (Vehicle exit production CP 7.8): 4/13/2021
V280 (Vehicle entry to CT-assembly Only CT vehicles): 4/13/2021 (CURRENTLY AT)

The car expected to complete on 04/23/2021, exit port Emden on 05/14/2021, and dealer inventory on 06/11/2021. I am hoping to schedule a mid to late-June PECLA delivery.

My solution to my impatience is a Honda CTR (VTEC bro ) to kill some time and practice some heel-n-toe skills.

I got an update today. My GT4 was schedule to be out of production on 4/26 but they completed it early on 4/14. Two weeks in Emden then two weeks to the USA. They say it should be here by the end of May. I have Atlanta PEC delivery so probably early June to pick it up.

Our ideas coincide! An interim car is THE way to go. Although I got a Type R, ND Miata is nevertheless a great choice.

You’re waiting for a car that is to be built on a schedule. Count your blessings. A lot of us are waiting for a car to be rebuilt with no schedule.

Beautiful build. My GTS 4.0 is satin Aurum, aventurine green and black/Bordeaux interior.

That will be lovely! I wish the Spyder/GT4s had as many color options (both inside and out) as the GTS. The green on gold will look incredible, classy yet fun

Placed order on Feb 11 and got an allocation the same day (bonus allocation). Scheduled to be built in May and delivery "3rd qtr". Build moved up and completed March 26 with an expected delivery late May. No engine recall. So I feel real fortunate in getting things moved along quickly...but the wait is killing me.

Killer build!

I have heard of the app to track production but I've not been able to find it. In the meantime, I call the dealership like you.

In the waiting room with the rest of you for a '21 Spyder. V200 on 3/9/21. Body shop 5/28, expected delivery 7/16.

Still have my heavily track-modified 987 Cayman to tide me over. Ideally, I'll find a buyer that will pick the car up from me on the evening of the day I pick up my Spyder, so that I don't have to go without a toy.

I just got bumped a month. SM thinks it'll likely end up a MY2022 car now.
