Saw first Spyder in the skin (very daily friendly clutch)
Went to the local dealership today to check out Gentian Blue as I've ordered my car without seeing the color in person (will complete production next week). As I parked on the sidewalk I noticed a GT Silver 718 Spyder sitting in there. This car looks amazing in person! Much sleeker than it looks in the pictures, looks super low, sharp and aggressive. The lines of the car look terrific! May be one of the best looking cars Porsche has built.
I did see a Panamera in Gentian Blue in the lot. Though it didn't fit the car's character, the color itself does look great and will be a good color on small coupes/convertibles in my opinion. There is certainly a purple hue in the color, the reflections had purple hue.
The sales rep was super friendly and let me sit in the car. I tried the clutch and it is super light and livable in a daily situation. Should not cause much issue even if stuck in rush hour traffic. I was worried due to my lower back hernia, it is causing some discomfort in my GT3 due to the heavy clutch.
Didn't get a chance to turn on the car and listen to the engine and exhaust, but how bad can it be? Really looking forward to taking delivery of the car

the ease of the clutch and overall the whole drive experience is very friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to daily this car.
the exhaust is pretty bad... but if you are in North America there is a path to greatness. The fact that you have to spend more money on a 100k plus car is frustrating but understandable due to the impact of Euro rules and regs.
It is a very special car, and you will enjoy it, that much I can guarantee. Congrats on your build

You’re right, the clutch is very soft and can totally be driven in less than ideal conditions. I actually find using it almost an afterthought as it doesn’t require that much effort.
I’m sure you’re looking forward to it, enjoy!

991.2 is like there is no clutch in comparison!

Even the 991.2 GT3 clutch is super light. 997 GT3 clutch is heavy, although I have definitely gotten used to it over time.
Post some pics when you get it.

I find the GT4 clutch to be perfect. Not too light, not too firm.

Anything in comparison to a 997 GT3 clutch is 'light' lol!
It was weighed good, you could definitely feel the clutch but it was not much of an effort to press it.I had an e92 M3 years ago and the clutch on that was terribly light for an 'M' car, barely felt the damn pedal under my foot!
