Why can't they offer deviated stitching like on the GT4? And not going through CXX.....Arctic Grey it is, which probably is also dark (can't trust the configurator)!
Agreed. I don’t like the blue stitching against the black, that’s just a weird contrast and against the red or yellow car it would be total crash in color. Also with the yellow brakes it’s a no go, but with the black brakes it will work. I guess the grey will look a lot like the silver stitch I had in my Carrera T. CXX options and n stitching would be nice but they’re not available yet.

Anyone have images comparing arctic grey, gt silver and crayon stitching? If not one these, not sure which other colour stitching would work well with the WP’s carbon and sportec material. Black?

I’m thinking Black. Minimum contrast and helps blend the surfaces in. There are a couple of Spyders I’ve seen with Black Deviated and I thought they looked really sharp.

I find the RS shifts to be soft, more in the direction of a torque converter transmission sound. It would not prevent me from owning the crap out of one but it would bother me. I wonder if it is some limitation in the transmission itself or if is just another example of Porsche tuning the shift programming to make it not quite as good as the GT3?
Are you basing this on the snow drifting video? I suspect the aggressiveness of the shifts are dialed back due to the lack of traction detected by the traction control system. The Nurburgring video is a better basis of comparison.

I am basing my opinion on every 4RS video I have seen thus far including the various comparisons in the past few posts and the many Nurburgring clips. I have not heard one impressive sounding upshift so far.

Does anyone know what the silver wedge-shaped vehicle in the background is at 3:41?
Electric prototype?

Nice to see snow in the front grills in some scenes of this series of videos so we mere mortals who would eventually "stuff it" in a snowbank don't feel so bad.

It has an early Lotus Esprit look.
