Preston OPC appear to have read the market and the lack of movement and with this spec have gone in £22k under the next cheapest SRS, will be interesting to see how it effects things and if others follow suit ..
IMO, that's a bit of a mess of a spec, attention to matching 'detail' is all over the place.av185 said:
Makes the green Romans car at £205k look very expensive.
Yes, but the Romans car has been specced with somebody who has a working eyesight. Granted, not that much £difference, but when you're spending £150-200k on a car, most buyers will want things to match and/or be cohesive.Edited by kmpowell on Wednesday 29th May 09:49

Wouldn't say the Preston car is too bad spec wise especially with ceramics and Arctic paint which whilst being somewhat drab imo is nevertheless quite a popular colour.
Perhaps it's just me, but the 'combination of the optioned 'detail' makes my teeth itch...- Yellow PCCB's, but specced grey belts and loops.
- Specced Blue accent package, but no other blue on the car.
- Specced Silver wheels, but specced black Porsche lettering
- Specced White dials and chrono clock, but no other white on the car.
Each of those on their own is a bit odd, but put them all together and IMO it just looks a bit of a miss-matched mess. If it were me spending £150-200k on one, I'd want it to at least match and feel cohesive.

I think it looks nice but without the weissach pack maybe a bit plain.Edited by kmpowell on Wednesday 29th May 09:49
It’s rather telling that none are selling, maybe not long until they are at list

I was offered a £177k fully loaded car with watch at £190k. I turned it down. I'd like one, but they will be coming way way off in 3 months.
I have been watching since the first car was listed and not convinced any have actually sold that have been listed at overs, the blue PTS car came and went but do we know if it actually sold or was just withdrawn. The £172k car is still on sale and the rest seem to be dropping, noticed one of the speccy cars is now down to £189,995 I would expect the indi dealers to follow suit this next week or so .
with the current spread of cars available, if you like a grey car you are in luck lol.

I posted on the 4RS thread today looks like SRS and 4RS production will both continue until May or June 2025 and end simultaneously although the number of both cars is fairly low (similar to last quarter numbers 2023) both my OPCs only receiving 2 more cars each for 2024 and evidently PTS will be unavailable for last run allocations.
