Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Any theories why Porsche haven't released a single Spyder since launch over a month ago for the journo's to rip into [&o] GT4 tests popped up far quicker than this!

Just watched a great programme on CH38 Quest tonight 10-11 on the 918 Spyder .Should be able to see it on catch up if you missed it
 
That 981 spyder does look terrible from that rear quarter view. The rake of the humps looks far too steep and with the large side scoop, totally out of proportion with the original base car. Gts looks far better which is surprising. Not a 981 hater by any means but that pic in black isn't flattering at all! Hope it looks better in real life.

Why? They can paint cars any colour for road testing, we have seen black and red car spy shots so that seems odd. Seats, surely they have buckets seats in production. Must be a reason though as does seem long time for any more info to emerge
 
Nice find, I had not seen before. My comments:- Have we lost some of the curves on the rear humps?[:-] Sounds nice[8D] They must have run out of paint - why are the roll hoops not painted[&:]

not really on hold, any car which is speced with 918 seats is now a extra 10 week delay ! (was 8 now 10 !) which is why I guess the 981 Spyder is now sans 918 seat option which is a shame. The paint is said to be back on from June builds for the 3 stopped colours.

It is a shame as expect quite a few would like the choice though sometimes less choice makes final spec easier to decide on. I tried the GT3 seats at OPC and thought them fine and with advantage of being able to pick heating so not too bothered.

they are great seats, just a shame to have a new car but then have the 987.2 old style seats in it though. the nice new bits were the steering wheels and 918 seats imo. And if they add 918 seats to the 2016 builds resale on car with 987.2 seats will be harder.
 
That is the big question, will there be 2016 build dates and will 918 seats be available. Like everyone else I am still waiting to get solid info on the build dates, I only know my OPC is getting two cars and I have one of them.
