yes, jet black metallic. the blue flakes gives it a deep blue look under a bright/clear texas sky. to be honest when i ordered it i was less thinking about the MY than i was getting a NA, 7MT and being intrigued by the fewer Targas on the road. the MY is icing on the cake! that first shot from yesterday has the white 997 GTS in the background. what a difference this car is.

Is it just me or are the black xenon's darker than the black LEDs? It's actually the first time I have seen black LEDs before.

This car is stunning. To say the least. I trade my 997 Turbo S PTS Azzuro Blue Metallic for a Carmine Red Targa GTS build. I had some doubts. To see this one has me on cloud 9. I went all out this may be my last Porsche build but what a way to go nothing beats a Targa IMO
Be glad for July to get here. Can't Wait !!!!!

This car is a winner. I had a minor reservation as let's face it, it carries a premium and it is a bit of specialty car - performance is not #1 here. But i have to say, 2 days in and i couldn't be happier. All reservation gone and i hope you guys enjoy yours as much as i am enjoying this one!
ps, go for the Burmester. it really is that good.

Give me a couple days and will report back. Ran it at about 50 mph for about 30 min Saturday, but not much above with the top off. Can't comment on the cab as I've not owned one, but I'll let you know what I see with this one. At 50 and revving, we were still able to converse about the audio quality of the burmester.

Hello everyone, I've just joined and this is my first post. I was going to write a decent introduction of myself, but honestly, I joined because I just put an order in and was wanting some feedback.
Which brings me to this post. I just ordered this car! The only difference is I went with the PDCC, the GTS interior in carmine red and the Bose set up. I also just stuck with the Bi-Xenon headlights and went with the clear taillights. Otherwise we seem to have the same taste! It looks fantastic! Congratulations! So my question is, I know you just got this baby, but is there anything that jumps out at you that you would change? I also did not get power steering plus and am not sure how big a deal that is. I don't have it in my current 991 and love everything about how it drives so I figured why change it. I agonized about black or carmine red!! Hell, I have time and still might change it!
I currently have a 991 Cabrio S and it has the Burmester. While it's nice, I have found that I don't use it or enjoy it in a way that makes me want to get it again over the Bose so I'm fairly comfortable saving some coin and not going with it. Do you mind sharing why you didn't go with PDCC? I'm also a little unsure about upgrading the headlights as the regular option seems to work well for me, but I'm open to be swayed!
I guess this is a lot of info for one reply post. I'm really excited to finally see a black targa GTS in the wild. Great choice!

A couple of other things. I also ordered the mu fu steering wheel, but in carbon fiber. I too was going to hold out hope that, it being a 2016, I could get the 918 steering wheel. But if you think about it, even though this is a 2016, it is not a 991.2. So looks like that option won't appear until the mid year facelift which also means if you ever see the 918 steering wheel the car won't be NA. I for one will happily give up the 918 steering wheel if it means I get one of the last NA Targas ever built!
