Default New GTS

Just picked up my new to me 2018 GTS. What an amazing car. I also have a 997.2 manual coupe. I wanted one manual and one PDK and finally got that done. Wanted to say hello to the group.

I was looking at those before ordering a new Style Edition, and if I had found a build like yours, but in manual, I'd have jumped on it. I ordered the same interior; it looks great. And the wheels on that color look awesome too (I have those wheels on the '22 Macan GTS, but in '21s). I personally prefer the look without a wiper (as most other people, I assume, since it's rare), but it certainly looks unique. Enjoy it.

It also has ACC too. That is an option I've never seen on a GTS. This thing is very highly optioned.

Such a coincidence!

First congrats to you, Street rod! I also just picked up one in Guards Red, with manual, and rear wiper too!

@PTSFX I guess that makes us 3 GTS within a week!
