Reported cause
Just couldn’t sit in the full abattoir spec, it was the red steering wheel that tipped me over the edge.
Leading evidence: 'red steering wheel' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'red steering wheel' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it).

What do you think?
25th anniversary edition. Based on the 4.0 GTS.
Personally not a fan of silver/gold combo (available in black or white also). Unique wheels and colour coding, but rest looks options special. I’m sure it will be collectible down the line.
The other release pics featured original 986 and I think it really has aged very well.

Prefer the gold (copper) with the black. Though later down the line, sticking with launch combo is usually better.
If you were about to go for a GTS anyway, this would seem to make sense.

Wheels looks great . Red interior is marmite, but can have black .
Nothing special from a well specced normal car apart from some badges and that special fuel cap.
Edited by tedblog on Wednesday 13th January 08:15
It also has gold elements in the front bumper, gold side vents and black windscreen surround

Be interesting to see how many allocated to the Uk.
The gts is popular in the states so they might get a fair chunk of them?
Edited by tedblog on Wednesday 13th January 08:41
My GTS 4.0 Boxster is pre-ordered.
Now this 25 anniversary edition comes up.
Both look great, I wonder which one's going to keep its value considerable better.

If previous anniversary editions are anything to go by then this would keep.its value better

The regular GTS 4.0 Boxster will depreciate as normal, this could well appreciate.
But unless you have bought loads of Porsches from your dealer whatis the chance of getting one anyway?

Only if you don't drive it
Used as a daily then no but as average boxster ownership is 4k miles a year i reckon youll be ok
Owners of these low editions models use them as a weekend suns out car.

But not by much if you go by previous rs60 and 550 editions!
Previous editions there was no fast take up either.
Better off saving the extra cash and buying a Gts!
The 718 spyder is the only 718 where residuals will remain firm long term

Times have changed .
It is a GTS with all the kit you normally spec?
As you said no fast take up.on previous models ,not the case now.

I must be the only person that thinks it looks terrible. It'd only missing more chrome. leopard skin seat covers and window tints. Spinners optional
Love the wheels , not so keen on the gold vents.
Armitage.Shanks said:

Not the only one. I'm thinking who would choose this over their own spec?
Other than limited edition, what are the advantages? Is it any cheaper?
GTS 4.0 and 25 Edition are the SAME PRICE (if choosing the same config)
So the question for me is:
a) Which styling looks better
b) Which one's going to depreciate considerably less, if either

I get the colour coding, but it is the side vent that jars the most for me.
Launch colour safest to go with long term rather than going with black or white or swapping interior to black.
I’d be tempted to order replacement side vents in silver and keep original ones boxed for later refitting if necessary.
The rest is okay. It seems a nice way to have something a bit more unique if getting a GTS anyway.
I think it’s hideous
and looks like one of those boosters that pops up on eBay that someone has “personalised”.
Wheels look like Japanese 90’s multi fit specials with an odd offset.
Colour coding looks like a true afterthought.
Zero interest other than who let their kid draw on design documents?

2014 911 50th Anniversary Special Edition with 17k miles is on sale for the same price as when it was brand new 6 years ago (Autotrader)
Exactly ref the 911 50th edition my friend bought a year a 2015 one private sale in 2016 for 70k. Would be worth more trade now with 26k miles . So apart from servicing its cost him nothing in nearly 5 years.
Only 1963 made world wide ,101 in the uk . Basically a carrerra s with cloth seats and normal specced extras and fuchs wheels and special badging.
Slated at the time as not worth it over a base s?

No you're not..
One good thing is it's limited edition so thank God there's not alot of chance of seeing them day to day.
Those wheels...hardly the statement that the 987 Spyder wheels were!
Never ceases to amaze those who buy into these so called specials ! Now if you were looking to buy say a new 718 and you actually like the styling and its not toooverpriced to regular model ie 718/6gts then it's a no brainer, but to buy secondhand something like a 991.1/50 because it's limited and paying a premium of more than circa 10% over a regular 991.1 is madness, plus the 991.1 is not noted as being the best drivers 911!
There are now so many Porsche "specials" I think if anything it cheapens many of them and long term the prices will fall as at present so called specials are in a price bubble

But they do so if you have one and dont or lose very little money during ownership thats a big plus.
At the moment it doesn't seem to cheapen them.
Local OPC has had 5 enquiries already?

That was my obvious thought, but these ones seem too triangular and straight lines to be a direct reference.
I love it.looks great to my eyes and wil drive great as well.
In silver.
Shame they could not have gone for a cocoa roof maybe.
A lovely weekend /evening car.
Wow, I really like that, especially in the white with the black interior! Add some folding mirrors, BOSE and Cruise and I'd very very happily take that as a weekends and holidays car.

Individually numbered as well!!
“Numbers cars” are what hold their value as they are a proper factory limited edition rather than something like the themed 991.2 GTS’s Porsche GB sold a couple of years ago.
Will be very difficult to get one I imagine.

"Massively oversubscribed" I was told this morning so yes you're probably right, getting one will be very hard. Maybe even harder than a Spyder
As its essentially a GTS with different cloths and some key "extras" as standard I think it'll be heavily in demand just because its different, comparatively rare and not a GT/GTS but still has a 4.0 NA 6 pot. I find all that quite appealing
Does it have any chassis or engine bits which are either options or not available on the rest of the range? At least with the 986 550 you got a unique paint option and a power bump through a bigger airbox. Much of the rest was tequipment catalogue.
The recent Targa Heritage edition is something like £20k over list....I am sure a lot of people who missed out on them jumped on this. Let’s hope some of them go to people who want one for driving pleasure rather than what it’s worth.

I think I read somewhere that there will be two more 992 heritage editions, so possibly not. It would be interesting to get an insight into what type of buyers have bought them, have they been offered to people waiting for Spyder or Boxster GTS 4.0 build slots or to billy big balls who spends £0.5m+ a year with the OPC.

If i had a deposit down for a gts 4.0 i would have swapped for this ,but alas the allocation was taken up so quickly i doubt if i would have had the chance.
I think you need you be on Porsche's press release email so get at least a headstart than the people reading the mags
Edited by tedblog on Thursday 14th January 10:47
Oh the missed opportunities!!!
If only they would have done this with...
- Orange stripes across the bottom of the light lenses and orange side repeaters
- Red and orange tail lights
- The original 17" silver wheels and larger tyres
- No air con or PCM, just a radio and heater dials
- A manual hook on the roof
- And limited it to "launch" arctic sliver/basalt black cars with the original terracotta interior
I'd have been down to the OPC like a shot with a deposit!
Never mind, will just have to buy an old 986 for about £60k less then...

I'm starting to get itchy feet. The longer the wait the more time spent on AT and PH classifieds. There's a lot of tasty metal out there for circa £80K cash.
I had to scratch my itchy feet - have bought a 2017 911.2 GTS with less than 10k miles for the same money whilst I weigh up which I will keep. Not sure I'll go back to the Boxster tbh - love the 911! At least I've still got a convertible for the summer, been great the last couple of days
Likewise. I’ve got a 4.0 GTS on order (2022??) and have just bought a low mileage 981 Spyder. Not sure which to keep.
The Boxster 25 will be a classic almost instantly. Certainly 10 years from now. It just needs its finish and leather quality to look as good as in the photos. We know the engine and thats as good as its going to get. And then there is the moment Porsche stop making combustion engines. Let's say it 15 years from now. As long as global governments don't prohibit engines altogether from ,say , 2040 - then the Boxster25 will take its place beside 2.7 RS, 959, 964 turbo, GT2, etc, etc.
My contacts at Porsche. Objectively, (well for me anyway), it's one of the most desirable Porsche models on sale at present. I think I'd therefore still hang in there if it got delayed. I believe they will have to prioritise production given it's an anniversary model. According to the original marketing info, from memory, it should have been hitting the showrooms from about now!

Thanks for that. I agree I think it looks superb. Would of liked it a month or so earlier tbh. But should be worth the wait
Got a call from my OPC to say I've definitely got one and they've been expecting build slots to be confirmed in the last couple of weeks so it shouldn't be too long till I get the lockdown call. On that basis I'm going to keep the faith and my fingers crossed a bit longer.
It won't stop me looking in the classifieds and dreaming of owning other stuff though

Yep black for me too. I can't do the red, its just too much and reminds me of some seedy clubs I frequented in my misspent youth
I am however going to add red seatbelts for some contrast colour in the cabin along with the red hood.

So your opc asked you for the final lock down spec and it’s coming next month ?
That’s great news. My opc keeps saying he doesn’t think any opc in the country have been given build slots yet
L.Len said:

I started off thinking that I’d ditch the red completely. So black roof, interior, brake calipers black anyway. This is the config that I set with the initial allocation. I definitely couldn’t live with the red interior. End of. But I’m now thinking red roof, belts and instruments. The video persuades me in that direction too.

Your OPC is fibbing, my lock down date has passed. Last time I checked it was still showing for build this month. Not sure what week number because we are in lockdown at the moment but as soon as I can pop in to the OPC I will get him to crack up the system and have a look at progress. I will report back if anything changes.

Need to ring my opc again I think he said I’m getting the first one of the 2 that that are getting
Can’t see how mine can’t be here in may if others are getting them
As promised popped into the OPC this morning and had a look on the system for my car. Annoyingly it’s gone back 3 weeks. Start of production is now target 10 May with delivery to dealer target of 14th June. Previously it was due to start build next week. In my experience once it actually starts build then the process flows smoothly, up to start of production it’s a lottery. Patience is a virtue in these times

That’s annoying mate. But least the process has started for you.
Anyone going for PPF? Grateful for any recommendations in London/South East. I’m aware of, NVN, Topaz, Azuri etc. I’m looking for a reasonable cost but a quality job. I came across a company called Aspect detailing that offer a non film alternative. Any one had experience of this? Not sure how much ppf is but for the whole car I’ve read a cost of £4K in some instances (gulp)!
L.Len said:
Any one heard anything last week or so about build and / or delivery ?
No, but I did get my invite to the PEC this morning so at least that’s positive.

Had my PPF done at Creative FX in Bromley. Did a really nice job (including touching in a chip I'd already got before getting to them!). I had front end, sills/air intakes and leading area of rear bumper. They use Xpel.

two months sounds about right. Lockdown on my Spyder is today with build completion scheduled 21 May and delivery early June

Interesting! I put a deposit down in summer 2020 and have an order number and have received a PEC invite for June but have heard zero from the OPC. They are very friendly in returning emails but can't give me any tangible information on delivery timelines.
Finally got confirmation of my opc today
He said only about 5 of the 25 edition have been released. Unfortunately mine isn’t one of them
But mine is a June build hopefully end July delivery

Thats good news, congratulations. Hopefully the rest will start dripping through shortly. I sold my base 718 Boxster to a dealer today as the offer they made was too good to refuse so I'll be sans convertible until mine arrives. Looking forwards to seeing pictures of everyones spec.

Sounds about right.
Given that the lead time for new orders of 992's and 718's are into 2022, I would stick with it.
Cheers guys. Yeah deffo sticking with it
Can’t see the supply issues being resolved anytime soon
He said it could arrive in August but I’d want the new reg anyway. Wonder if I’ll have to pay the new higher price ?

Finally my opc have been given a build slot for the 25 edition August build. Sept delivery. Better late than never
Hey L.Len, Congratulations! I am jealous! But I know you’ve been suffering for a while now, so you deserve it.
Nothing has come through for me yet, checked Tuesday. However what prompted my call to my SA was that the GTS I ordered last year from the other dealer has come through with a July build. So I am now in a quandary. Do I hang in there for a 25 or save money and go with a GTS? A bird in the hand and all that..... My instinct says hang fire and get the 25. I’m planning it to be a keeper so I’d be a long time staring at a GTS wishing I’d not been impatient for the sake of a few months.
What do you think?

Cheers. I’d say deffo wait for the 25 edition. It’s a gts basically with a few excellent extras and the added bonus of knowing there will never be anymore made so only about 80 ever in the uk.

I've also just had confirmation of August build with September delivery. Let's hope for some late summer sunshine!
