Checked it out in flesh today at the LA Auto show. Amazing car for those lucky ones that get their hands on one.

Some of these new pics show the color flopping much more green than Polar silver... Others have it flopping more blue.

Too bad our Canadian config doesn’t have the extended fuel tank. Not sure why though.

It’s a Cxx option.

Could be a good alternate should they become available. Though some prefer to have OE and something on the option sheet.

Here is an example of pricing for the Mags on 991RS (notice price before discount):

The BBS aftermarket version has slightly different spokes and costs a little less.
Ahhh, I missed the reference to the 'magnesium' aspect... So the link above is for staggered spec 21" rear, 20" front would that present any fitment issues considering the increased width of the rears?

I'd order it. I run my Garmin Catalyst audio through the car speakers and expect you'd want all the power you can get, given the expected noise from behind your head.

I just now went and checked after seeing that screenshot. Yeah... not there yet... but it's nice to know it's something they're doing! I think I read something about the standard tank being smaller than a regular Cayman and wondered if the motor took up room that it needed or something.

You do know that the fuel tank is located in the front, don't you?

Skip the Bose and install a communicator (ear muffs) kit with a bluetooth adapter on your helmet.....

I have seen a couple of inferences to the tank space constraints and the GT3 engine... amazed actually as the engine has nothing to do with the size that the tank can be.

Funny enough it is not far from the gas filler opening, basically located right below where the battery sits.

Would be great to hear reviews of the sound!

The GT3 sounds awesome and the intakes are way further away.

Can only imagine the sound.

No Bose for me.

Yup, the oil tank.
