Default GTS --- New SportDesign rear, go?







No doubt it will create more downforce,
but more importantly it is a new design componenet that serves as a sign that this is the new GTS.

Not as dramatic as the previous duck tail, but everyone's getting it, right?

IMO - if you are getting the GTS you need to get that spoiler. It completes the look.

On that car, I would put the money toward having the seat backs in leather.

With red exterior, yes but with rhodium or GT silver I would recommend the standard back. It highlights the interior.

Now if you have kids In the back seat then I'd go standard all the way.

Those side profiles are the first pix I've seen where it is noticeable. So now the price of my dream build GTS is up to $141,860

Not sure...I have a Sapphire blue GTS on order, Can't decide, would love to see one on a real car first but limited time before the build locks.

Anyone got any real pictures yet?

I've always liked the silver seat backs that come standard. This is a Sports car, and the look is perfect.. it's a classy way to accentuate the light weight nature of the car.

GVW aside, I think that horse left the barn after the 993.

Don't like it at all. If I buy a GTS, I'm gonna skip it. Think it looks like a bad Vorsteiner slap on piece.

+1 leather seat backs are a gross waste of money IMO ...

Too subtle...I would pass and put the money into other goodies. Of course, I have the aerokit cup spoiler so I like the opposite of subtle LOL...

+1. I think the seat backs really complement the GTS interior package, especially with Rhodium Silver stitching. However, certain interior leather colors would benefit more from hide-wrapped seat backs.
