At least that was the way it worked for the PROs.
Canada received 35 PROs, I would imagine the BS numbers will be similar.

Interesting ... only three cars have made it over to VPC since my last update on 4/24.

My only hope is that the EPA process has already started that way whenever all these made cars waiting for their remaining parts get shipped at the same time they can be shipped to customers without being stuck at VPC for another several months.
And if it does turn out that less than 400 cars make it to the US including P1 customer cars then this is going to be one of the most collectable cars ever and inevitably half of them will be mothballed.

I saw the rumor on here of a special edition GT BS and just confirmed there will be no such thing.
No update on GT BS release again, Benz will not share any information on why.

Burt:
Thanks for continuing to keep us informed regarding the status.
Did the EPA/DOT signoff yet. as we all had hoped?
Would you have a perspective on the details of the Keyless Go Option? No one seems to know what is included besides keyless go. ;
I am hoping that it also includes the hatch opening feature as it is on earlier GTR models.
Also, The DA7 Package also seems to have a lot of confusion.
We talked about how the lane tracking is so brutal but if you want Blind Spot Detection there seems to be no way to order it stand alone.
Many thanks
Jerry

Big thanks to BurtReynolds for checking the status of my car.
Apparently it is among 173 cars sitting in port (May 18th production) and not scheduled for shipping yet.
Frustrating.
As for "mothballing", my car is going to get quite a few miles on delivery day as I already promised the GM, Service Manager and one of the technicians a nice spirited test drive.
My M5 specialist (same dealer as MB) who secured for me M5CS (July production) is also promised to get his hands on the B.S.
I am of opinion that deserving guys should also be able to experience this monster.
When my S63 received Renntech turbo upgrade, these guys got to experience that car also and their reactions and gratitude were really special and made me feel good about myself which was priceless.

id rather take some kids or LEO's or veterans....but good for you. Hope those cars make it here without outrageous ADM's. The new 911 GT3's have stupid ADM's.

More GT Black Series on the water, they are shipping random cars, and I can't tell you why, cars that were built weeks ago are on the water, cars built months ago still sitting. MSRP is announced, base MSRP is $325,000, on average they're upper $330k.
Updating original POST with where vehicles are.

Many thanks for all of the information.
I mentioned up thread that the gas gussler tax for the BS has been determined and looks like it will be the same as the other GT’s
Best regards

Only stores that are also AMG Performance Centers will have allotment for BS, and then I do believe they need to have met a volume threshold to get a car(s).
At least that was the way it worked for the PROs.
Canada received 35 PROs, I would imagine the BS numbers will be similar.

Richmond BC store has 2 allocations, with a possible third .... they were all spoken for years ago as per my sales guy

Mine is on the water. Vessel name Dugong Ace. Excited it’s finally coming since mine finished production in February.
Hopefully the EPA certification happens relatively quickly.
