The color Sam chose is great. It looks almost like Chromaflair. There are yellowish highlights in the sunlight, and it goes slightly blue-ish/teal in the dark. I absolutely love it. Well done Sam 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congrats on the colour choice 👏🏻. Suspect it’s the yellow calipers that Sam wants to change, but having seen a GT3 in RGM with yellow calipers, they look fine. Sam mentions less choice on the GT3 cars - that’s actually only on the winged cars, where you can only get a black interior. On U.K. GT3 Touring cars, you can still get a full Exclusive Manufaktur leather interior, from a list of 15 leather colours including Cohiba, Cognac, Guards, Riviera etc. Note this isn’t full ‘leather to sample’.

When I was a child my dad had an Aston DB9 and he later got a Vanquish too. The rear seats are perfect for children up to 12 years old. The DB11 has more room and at 16 I was still comfortable in the back of it. Also, Vanquish and DB11 have isofix

LETS GO SAM!! That color is a huge favorite of mine, having spent some time around a winged car in Scottsdale with that paint (maybe even the one you mentioned researching). Ice green is another personal favorite so I’m thrilled you could do something similar. Stoked for you and huge congrats, hope you get tons of fun-filled miles out of it!

47:17 To answer your production question: Often they will be taken off the line until the paint is ready then reintroduced to the line. Highly unlikely they have a person paint the car. The robots are much more efficient and fundamentally better at painting. Automation knows which cars need which paint and cars are regularly pulled and rearranged based on paint color and number of layers. (Multi layer paint jobs take longer in the booth and longer to cure) Congrats on the color Sam!!

What Ferrari is best for a baby seat, or the Bentley GT - first world problems like 😂 In saying that when I dream of supercars and look at the various places online I do think would a family member be able to get in and sit in it. It’s reassuring say that Classic Ferrari 250 GT priced at £1.6 million for sale can take my family member or that 911 with normal seats. 😂

Work at a Porsche Dealer. Its awesome to see Sam go full in on the spec. Most customers stick to black or white. I am assuming his complaints about the spec have to do with not being able to get carbon ceramics from the factory. We have a GT4 RS that has been waiting for carbon ceramics for months. I also assume he was not allowed to get the Bose sound system as they are being removed from most of our models because a lack of amplifiers for the system. Very much looking forward to the video on sunday!

I don't work at Porsche but I saw a documentary here on youtube about the making of the 992 911s explaining every part of the whole factory process. Usually (this is what the cars did in the documentary) the car frames get put on a swing that can swing 360 degrees which takes the frames through a pool of color, this is how they are painted, the external parts like trunk, doors etc. Are also lowered into pools of color for their base coats and then to later get their different finishes put on by a robot (the frames only need base coat). My guess is that the PTS cars completely skip the pool part and go straight to specialised robots that are setup individually for each PTS car which takes time. With the normal colors they can just make a batch of yellow cars and then afterwards a batch of black ones. This is just my guess so please correct me if I happen to be wrong.

In the US PTS cars (used) do fetch a premium roughly equal to the cost of the paint from factory. $10k+ over a standard color car. White, black and silver are also usually valued about $3-5k less than a colorful factory option (thinking about 991 and newer GT3s)

@Tom_Dienemann Жыл бұрын

PTS does, as far as I know, delay the car production, since many parts do get painted at the suppliers. Meaning they have to send your selected colour to each suplier who then sprays them at their place. You can imagine the logistics involved, keeping in mind OEMs work with JIT-Production (Just-In-Time). Correct me if I am wrong :)

There is nothing I can think of that I'd seriously consider as a replacement. The dog goes in the back, my bike fits in the back, it got me home in blizzard in mid December on the wrong tyres. It's simply awesome. There's a reason so few are for sale, anyone that owns one just doesn't want to sell it!

You guys could do an amazing episode with someone who has an extensive automotive manufacturing background. There have been tons of little things over the years that you've brought up (PTS cost to Porsche in this episode) that are really far off the mark on details, but the details are something you'd never be aware of if you haven't worked in industry! Generally speaking, the reason a PTS car will cost more and take more time is because the paint booth can only have a certain number of colors loaded up at any given time. To do a PTS car, they would need to clean out all the nozzles and hoses and switch out the paint being fed into that machine just to paint a handful of cars. Because of this, manufacturers try to "batch build" all the special cars right in a row to keep the process as efficient as possible.
