They' were 'sold out' long ago. Dealer told me they had letters of intent and deposits going back 3 years for that car
The only way to get one of them (the next one anyway) is to buy a few new top level Porsches and put a blind deposit in now
They alReady have deposits in for the 918 replacement, and that's yonks away

Unless you've spent 800k on a 918, in which case, you get to jump the queue

According to my dealer the audi order system hasn't been updating as they have had a few cars turn up at the showroom that are still showing as stage 30 transport to emden port.

Mine was at this stage for stage for 2 weeks so I called audi UK who told me the car was being shipped to emden and can take 10-14 days. The next day the car was showing as being in Grimsby
