C4S Cab from '14 991.1 to '17 991.2
Took advantage of the pull ahead program on my lease and swapped my '14 991.1 C4S Cab after 32 months and 22,500 miles for a '17 991.2 C4S Cab. Kept the same exterior colors: Sapphire Blue with a blue top. Interior went from black/beige to black/red. Went from PDK with Adaptive Cruise Control to MT and Rear Axle Steering.
I've included a couple of quick pictures.

Very nice. Impressed that a dealership would order that cool color combo. Reminds me of Superman.

Thanks! I designed and ordered Superman back in January. You're right a dealer would never spec a car with this color combo (it's hard enough to find Sapphire Blue on a dealer's lot). I love it but it's certainly not for everyone. Since it's a lease I don't need to worry about resale, that's Porsche Financial's problem.

Again, I really like it. The blue top is great, too, because it's a break from the everyday normal black, of which I have. And it works well with the Sapphire.
Every time I see the black/Bordeaux red leather interior, I wish I had done that. I was out-voted in my house, and wimped out. Being a cabriolet, you really get a chance to take it all in, in a bird's eye panoramic view.

As far rear axle steering I honestly haven't notice a difference yet, but I've had the car for 2 days. This car does not have the "acorn" issue when turning the steering wheel to lock and driving slowly.....perhaps this is due to the rear axle steering changing the turning diameter?
The one negative to rear axle steering I found is for winter tires/wheels. I have a set of 19" tires/wheels from my 991.1 that I assumed would fit the 991.2 It turns out they would fit UNLESS you have rear axle steering or ceramic brakes. With either of these options you have to use 20" winter tires/wheels. Look for my tires/wheels in the classified section soon.

The discs are larger in the .2S but the owner's manual shows the 19" wheels are ok unless you have either ceramic brakes or rear axle steering. I think if I did not have rear axle steering (I don't have ceramic brakes) I would be able to use the same wheels/tires that I have from the .1

Beautiful car Jeff! And as Lex said, the interior color really looks great with the top down. It is definitely Superman! And the dark blue top is also perfect! I had an '07 Lapis Blue metallic w the dark blue top & that has always been my favorite car to look at! Enjoy in good health.
