    Hi Guys,
    I thought I'd post my GTS order, progress and updates for anyone interested.
    Here's the letter confirming my specification.

    Cheers
    Craig.

    As of today, My Ferrari App show my vehicle as "Wait Listed", however my dealer tells me that it is at Stage 30 - Painting. Seems a shame the Ferrari App is so late.

    I spent Friday and a night over the weekend in a bunch of different Ferraris at a Ferrari Esperienza event - 812 SF, F8, Roma, 488 Spider and Portofino. Great day and wonderfully hosted by Continental Cars here in NZ. I enjoyed the 812 and the 488 Spider the most. Event the V8 turbo on the 488 sounded amazing with the rear window down. Someone at Ferrari design department was having a great day when they dreamt up the rear opening window. I can't wait to drive the GTS with the rear window down and the V12 sound!!

    I think mine said Wait Listed until about three days before the car was delivered! Haha. Sounds like you aren’t too far off, nice work! A road trip in NZ in summer in a GTS is living the dream (I lived there for 20 years)

    The rear window on the GTS is magic. It’s almost as loud as with the roof down (for some reason, it sort of forms a tunnel of sound, between the two buttresses and into the cabin). And obviously less wind buffeting than roof down. There is NO excuse for not having the rear window down at all times while driving :)

    PS get 200 cell cats for extra fun :)

    I'd check with your dealer. They can look up on their system easy enough. :)

    My Tailor Made 812 was delivered to Continental in January but I won't get to see it until I come in June. I have a GTS allocation but am working through the best way to do Tailor Made as I don't want to do it online. Travel restrictions/quarantine make things a little difficult.

    Love painted shields, that seemed awfully quick from confirmation to the stage you're at now! How long ago had you put your deposit in if you don't mind me asking.

    Not at all. I placed my initial order in December 2020. I was re-allocated a cancelled order's spot in February.

    Wow that's basically as good as it gets. I'm assuming you've got an existing relationship with your dealer though?

    Yes, my dealer here is excellent. I believe NZ has a disproportionately high number of VVIPs etc, so the dealership can look after us all well.
    I was surprised to see a Monza SP2 here only a couple of weeks back for example.
    Hopefully they can sell my Portofino as quickly!! :)
