Put down a deposit on my GTS ST middle of Feb.

Just received the PEC invite. Not sure if that means things are moving along or if it's just a formality?

Was told 12-15 months until delivery.

For those who have their Taycan's, does the PEC invite give some indication of how soon to expect your vehicle?!

I can't answer your query, sorry, as I've only just ordered - but what do you get in the PEC? (I realise its the Porsche Experience.)

All Porsche depositers get a complimentary PEC (half) day at Silverstone. You get to drive your ordered model on a designated section of Silverstone owned by Porsche.

Professional instructors are on hand, and I understand there are Taycan's in various configurations to help you decide what you'd like to option, particularly with the eye-wateringly priced performance options.

You can choose either a morning or afternoon session. I also understand you should avoid booking this in July because of the Grand Prix - certain sections of the track are closed off.

Something to look forward to and welcome to the 'Taycan patiently waiting club'!

With my Cayenne, my Silverstone experience was 12 months before delivery.
Once orders have been logged on the (central?) Porsche order tracking system, experience sessions are offered according to availability of matching vehicles.

I have been and can confirm that PEC invite has no bearing on delivery.
Great day out and it shouldn't be affected by F1 Grand Prix as Porsche have their own track that's completely separate. You'll get to drive the model you ordered only and it's a safe way to explore the car's capabilities in terms of acceleration, braking, handling and some high speed elements too - great food too. Enjoy.

Sounds amazing, can't wait! Just been advised that best estimate at this stage is 12 months (ordered a CT 4S). Hopefully a mate can come along too!

Your mate can come for free, but they lust get lunch and the opportunity to watch from the building! Otherwise, as you say it is also a paid for experience - a few at the one i attended i think.

As for it being a portent to your order.... I think not. I didn't have mine until after my car was delivered and only then when i phoned up and asked if i could come!

You can share your drive time with a mate for free, but if they want their own car to try then they will obviously have to pay the £500 additional cost.

I have my PEC booked for Monday, but still don’t have a firm delivery date or locked order. I’m driving the CT 4S as the GTS won’t be there yet.

Perhaps hold off until the GTS is available? I've seen mention on these forums that it's around May that demonstrators are expected for the GTS / ST.

If you've ordered a GTS and haven't been given a delivery date then I would consider waiting.

That said they will both drive quite similar.

Have a great day and let us know how you get on!

I don't think that's quite right. I don't think anyone else allowed in the car (passenger) either. face masks still enforced.
My understanding was you could bring a guest but as an observer only from the building/balcony. Shame really, I'm sure my son would have enjoyed a ride in the back seat. Until the power of TicTok overcame him after 4 minutes.

I went with a friend who had also just bought a car/had a free session. You don't really do anything in tandem (i.e. you can't race each other), so not that big a deal if you go on your own.

Absolutely no bearing. Depends whether your SE has remembered to send the invite or not. Invite for Taycan for me happened when by coincidence I emailed my SE about my order. Told me he was leaving that branch the next day. Received the invite within 30mins.
Order for the Mrs Macan. Dealer finally received the car yesterday. Still no invite.

According to the email received, you can indeed bring a guest as an additional driver on the day at a cost of £472. Alternatively, that one guest can spectate for free:

If you wish, you are welcome to bring a spectating guest with you on the day. Alternatively you may wish to book an additional experience for them to enjoy at the same time. We are pleased to offer your guest the special rate of £472.00.

If you attend the PEC and later cancel your order, you are billed the £472.

A normal Experience (half) Day at Porsche Silverstone is around £590, so it's not much of discount. If you want to drive a 911, that comes at a £60 premium.
