Porsche 911 GT3 order
Today is April 1, 2023. It is also the day when many people lie and have fun on April Fool's Day.
Exactly one year ago from now, that is, on April 1, 2022 last year, I wrote on that day's blog that I was allowed to go to the preview of Porsche Center Takanawa (before the official opening). was
And in that article, I wrote that I ordered Porsche even though it was a private exhibition by saying "Order Porsche at PC Takanawa (?)".
After all, it was an article on April Fool's Day ^^ Here's the article part of the blog at that time↓
And one year later today, April Fool's Day 2023.
Here I would like to give a spoiler from a year ago.
Actually ... This "I ordered a Porsche at a preview" that I wrote a year ago was true ^ ^
…Isn’t that a lie? (laughs)
It's true that today is also April Fool's Day, so it's confusing (laughs).
No, I actually signed the order form at the preview. Here is the order form at that time ↓
The date is March 31, 2022.
I wrote the article on April Fool's Day the next day, but I placed the order just in the middle of March, so the order form was still addressed to Bright International Co., Ltd.↓
* Epochal International Co., Ltd. from PC Takanawa, which officially opened on April 1st the next day.
At this time, I was ordering a Porsche 911 GT3 (992.1).
992.1 GT3 has already decided "I will not order this time" since the car was world premiered, but if you show me the actual GT3 car at the touring place in 2022, even if it is already It's so cool that you can't stand it.
Even though I knew it was too late to order from that time, I still wanted it no matter what, so I immediately ran to order it.
I wish I could have moved faster.
I don't even know what I was hesitating about at first.
As some of you may have noticed, the GT3 at this time was ordered in "custom color", that is, "PTS".
In conclusion, I knew that I was late to get a production quota someday, but I was waiting for it, but I couldn't make it in time, so maybe it was last winter? As a result, the order was canceled (tears).
However, I can't help it because it's completely my fault that I didn't move at all when I said "I don't order" at the beginning this time.
Well, this is my 992.1 type GT3 that has disappeared like this, but I would like to write what color I was thinking about with PTS.
Actually, there is a color that I want to make my Porsche color for a long time. But that color is not in the PTS, so I have to go to PTS Plus to get that color.
As expected, I thought that it would be impossible from now on, so this time I chose the color that was closest to "the color that I want the most that is not in the PTS" and was in the PTS.
PTS 4VN: Viola Metallic
That color is Viola Metallic. It's a deep purple.
Originally, I wanted a darker, darker, deep purple color that looked almost black, so I chose Viola Metallic, which is the closest to it. I thought it would be a problem if I received the wrong purple by mistake, so when I ordered the PTS color, I prepared the following document (?) and handed it to the sales person (laughs). ↓
By the way, this is Viola Purple Metallic, which is a bright purple that I thought would be a problem if the name is similar to this one.
This is of course a beautiful color, but this time I just wanted a deep dark purple.
By the way, this is also the document I gave to the sales person (laughs) ↓
Thinking back on it now, I feel a lot of nostalgia.
I've been thinking about GT3 for a long time since a year ago until the order was canceled in the winter, but I always think that "it's fate to meet, it's fate not to meet", so this time it was good. I think.
In fact, I think that this GT3 has paved the way for the new 911 I'm ordering now, so I'm grateful for the GT3 I couldn't meet.
I won't hesitate next time! ! ! (Well, while talking about fate, I'm full of motivation next time (laughs))
