Fellas - I have no positive feedback from the dealership that leads me to believe I will be winning.
Remove me from the list and I'll chime back in down the road if they are successful in a second allocation.
In the meantime, congrats to you all and I will be subbing to this thread and following along.

We should know within the next couple of weeks.

We grabbed a 2020 G63 for my wife as well. The dark red (merlot) interior inside of selenite grey.. Turned out awesome.-

AMG GTR, G63, Mclaren 675 LT S, 991 GT3 RS, 991 GT3, many more
The G63 I pickup tomorrow is Jupiter Red. Had the stronger than time, but my wife hated that color and was still driving her 2018 G63. So I broke down and then order another one, Jupiter/black with red stitching.
You spec sounds great.

CONFIRMATION; Your primary color is a paint to customer order selection.
Please see if the dealer will give you any indication on when the acceptance invoice numbers will start going out. I tried today and my dealer didn’t know.
This group of long time members should make it fun discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the car.
I think your 911 GT2 might beat it. Of course we don’t have “official” professional driver Ring times or 0-60 times yet.
MB has always sand bagged the numbers. Their stated 3.1 second 0-60 time is a good example. I think it will be more like 2.8.
The Ring time should come in below 7 minutes
I am curious as to why it doesn’t have AWD.
BTW: I just got a Blue G63 Stronger Than Time and really like it. It’s my daily driver. I think it has every option offered on it.
I put Exoshield on the winshield and Xpel Pro on the front end including the windshield frame. It’s really like a box going down the road so protecting the front end and windshield ASAP is a highly recomended priority.
Best regards

fun ones.
4WD is less fun, there's no benefit to it in a sports car.

My understanding is the Magmabeam is not a magno color from what I saw. Correct? I def. want the orange stripe in the seat and orange seat belts like you. I did notice that about the glass. Not too happy about it. For whatever minimal pounds weight reduction this is since the car is already a porker to me is a disadvantage. It will make it more difficult (availability?) and costly for a windshield replacement. Would have been better to be the same as all the other GT cars.

Honestly, after having a Lava Orange 991.1 GT3RS that color got old real quick for me.
It was ok in the shade, but a real washout in direct sunlight.
This orange looks a little richer and it might have a little more depth ... but hard to tell without seeing it in person.
Generally speaking I find model specific colors to wear on me pretty quickly ... Green Hell magno on the GTR and Lizard Green on the 991.2 GT3RS being good examples ... so I always stay away from them.
Just personal preference as I'm old and boring, cars like this have plenty of 'look at me' in them in them for me without skittle colors ... but can also see and respect why a color like this is appealing for many folks.
I also have this thing where things/women that are inherently beautiful look better when dressed classically, whereas plain looking things/women benefit from more outlandish dressing up.

Lava Orange is an opaque color. I believe this will be a metallic flake type of color like solarbeam yellow. Just an assumption.

I promise it wasn't my intention to insult anyone who likes this color.
Porsches, McLarens and other super/hyper cars are desired and often valued more in 'loud' colors ... it's way to lean into the design and sometimes racing heritage of the brand.
Like I said, mine is the old and boring guy take.
