Can’t quote on a GTS but for an S , when I placed order it was 12-18months, then told closer to 18months, I opted for a 9month old S and cancelled new one, as I didn’t want to wait that long and with along with the price increase and my car was pretty much the spec I wanted. Apparently the lead time has now come down to back end of this year.
I popped into OPC Leeds on Monday to see about a GTS. Got an email on Wednesday saying they can get me one for November as they’ve been allocated more slots. It’s too soon for me though
Thanks Plyphon. My mind is more at ease with the black wheels now. Most on auto-trader are black so can’t be a bad choice. I see you went tow bar as well . Your spec was always what I had originally in my head for the last few years.

The tow bar works really well - in that you can't tell it's there at all unless you really get under the car. I always wanted a car I could get bikes on the back - no way am I lifting up a heavy, covered in mud mountain bike on the top of my expensive shiny SUV!
Build is 100% locked in. I forgot to add heated windscreen but the great team at Leeds let me make a quick addition and we signed all the forms for a second time. So many great wheels but kept them standard as easier to re-paint when I no doubt curb them in week 2.
Update. Build has commenced. Car will arrive end of July / 1st week August. So deposit paid early March 2023, which means end to end it will have been a 5 month process tops. Baby arrives August 11th ish. Perfect timing.
It’s arrived. Ordered March 2023 and arrived 18th August. Not bad all things considered. The copper ruby paint is epic. Was so worried it would look out of place. Even more please I cancelled the Taycan ST GTS for this. Saved some cash and the Macan is waaaay better.
