its a shame that the Sports Buckets are not available in the U.S - its a great seat and a good compromise between the "sofas" and the LWBS
I've seen reviews where people in Europe prefer the Sport Buckets vs the LWBS for both comfort and side-bolster support. I like the LWBS and the GT2 Sport Buckets and would order either if they come heated. If they don't, then just the standard manual 4-way Sport Plus seats with heat would do just fine. I have them in my current Boxster and love them.

Is it not unusual that I can find none of these details corroborated through Porsche, or is this just a rumor site?

Configured mine to $93,550, but the config tool isn’t letting you select several interior options unfortunately. Hmm, now where to find $93,540....

Yes, seeing same issue with not being able to select some interior options.

One year Base Price difference (2019->2021) GTS vs. GTS 4.0 is $6,100. [correction, technically I don't think there was a 2020 GTS in USA, so this is really a Two Year Price difference from 2019 to 2021 models]

I guess that's how much the F6 is worth. They do also throw in a few extra features, but then again those are standard on all trims now, such as Seat Heating (previously $530), Apple CarPlay (previously $360), and 2-Zone Automatic Climate Control ($770).

Up here the difference is only $3900.

Are they pre-selecting the turbo wheels there too?

Canada? Is that $3900 USD or CAD?
Car comes standard with something called: 20" 718 Sport Wheels in Satin Black. Not the 20" Carrera S Wheels that it came with before. 20" 911 Turbo Wheels are a $2,450 option.

Are these wheel options correct? 11.5" wide rears with 305 tires? Larger than GT4?

$3900 CAD

The configurator only has two wheel options right now, none of which are $0 and by default the Turbo wheels are selected which are the few thousand dollars.

Another tidbit, if you select the PDK, the technical data torque value changes to 317ft-lbs from 309ft-lbs. So PDK having more torque is likely!

Although there's a mistake and they say it's a turbocharged boxer 6 lol

@#1SomeGuy Just curious, are you comparing these 2021 models (right that's what they are?) to 2019 or 2020 models. I don't think they ever really sold GTS in MY2020 in USA, so really I'm comparing 2019 vs 2021 pricing.

Both the GTS 2.5 and GTS 4.0 are still available in the Canadian configurator if you go in through the model selection once already in the configurator. Just comparing those.

Yes, it's up but apparently still not fully functional...why else would Porsche include options that are not selectable? At least one can get a good idea of what the MSRP will be.

God bless,

OK my initial build in Canada is $111k. Thats starting with a base price of $101,190 which includes shipping and $2,790 for equipment (no idea what the equipment is yet)

I am disappointed with the limited choice of wheels and hope that changes....I was really looking for the black 20's as seen on the international configurator. Not a fan of the ones they chose.

Will wait and see if anything changes on this over the next while
