According to Porsche USA it is 2,000 miles (this is not an engineering concern it is a litigious concern - in the US someone gets in a brand new RS, boots it sideways into a truck and sues!)

According the the factory - 200 miles to bed in the brakes and suspension, make sure everything is working - and then give it the beans!

Stunning, truly stunning.

Only problem is, you'll be jumping in on even more threads now and shouting about it! ;-)

Business is obviously good. Splendid!
