My GTS finally arrived at the dealership today and I was sent these photos. With the Easter holidays etc. I'll only get to pick it up next week Thursday.

It looks like I'm missing the GTS badging on the side skirts, which I'm not happy about.

Perhaps these can be added by the dealer like other decals prior to delivery?

Suspect not however but worth asking.

You might be missing the GTS logo on the side skirts but those white side stripes and bonnet look great,
like a blue Starsky and Hutch car.
Lovely car and colour!
I am wondering why a GTS saloon gets to Oz before mine gets to UK!

This is a factory specced car that I bought before the gts landed here not a custom order.

We don't get the ST in Oz.

"Deletion of ‘GTS’ logo on side skirt inlays" is a no cost option on the configurator... could the factory order have had this option ticked for some reason? I've no idea why anybody responsible for speccing the cars would do this though 🤔

I think this is a manufacturer error.

We know they are already fitting the pedals wrongly, using the 4S instead of the Turbo style pedals.

Perhaps there is some issue when it comes to the build where "GTS" in the side skirts is wrongly deleted?

Be good to see it polished up - it looks almost grey/flat here, but in other pictures I've seen it's much more blue...

In person, Neptune is actually flat/grey blue, but that’s what makes it so unique and what I love about. Some pics posted of Neptune blue here tend to oversaturate the blue making it less flat and more metallic and shiny looking. So these pics on this thread are actually a pretty accurate representation of what Neptune really looks like in person.

Slightly off topic...

On pic 3, what is the difference with the front air vents on the two white Taycans behind?

FWIW – I think it makes the front look worse – and it is standard on the GTS models.
