Hands down one of the nicest, and will easily be one of the most sought after specs of a gts 4.0 there is- I can only imagine how few sonderwunsch gts 4.0 examples exist, let alone stateside. Hat tipped- Enjoy it, hope to see it around since we are local!

Picked mine up from PPF & Ceramic today. PPF is full front, mirror caps, door handle cups, rocker panels up to seam in rear fender, and coverage behind rear wheels. They also installed my RGS vent grills and Zunsport front grills.


117 miles through break in.

I don't think I have ever seen anything with a sonderwunsch badge, let alone two lol, for any less than that- the 20k one lol. My guess is this is a 130-140+ spec, but I bet owner can confirm if he feels comfortable doing so.

I'm still second guessing if I should have gone with silver wheels. Yours look great.

Thank you! luckily it is not a super hard change to make- I like the darker wheels as well a good bit, but just love the silver ones that much more- I love how it pops- but yours still looks great and gives it a more aggressive sleek look.

Haha... I just dropped off my car at Cesar today. I had to wait for a replacement rear tire since it caught a nail last Friday at the dealer about 15 minutes before I picked it up. Cesar proudly showed me the picture of your car .

It will be another 10 days wait now to get it back. Good that I already have over 3700miles .

Thank you so very much! This car is the culmination of 2 prior 718 ownership experiences (718CS, 718Spyder) and I went in knowing exactly what I wanted, and more importantly, what I didn't. Thank you so much for the very kind and complimentary comments.

Thank you! So Porsche tends to be a wee bit arbitrary with how they price certain things. Expect seats to start around that $10k mark.

Your guess is on the money! I am hoping this stays as a keeper car. I've kept my E46 M3 for 21 years now and hope this GTS follows that path.

What all made this a "Sonderwunsch" vehicle? Is it getting bucket seats in Cognac?

My SRS finally made it to stage 9. Seemed like it was stuck at the San Fran port for 3 weeks.

lol oh god don’t say that. When did the car arrive in Benicia? Mine just arrived over the weekend but TYD is now claiming a delivery day of end of September. Which if that ends up being true I’ll be quite pissed, and would also put the final delivery at 3 months over the original ETA
