Basically Exchanche GT4RS to 000. Brewster green , 18 way (sad about loosing buckets , but got GT3) manual, some additional leather . So exited about this car.
I think 000 will go down in history as most beautiful Porsche made.
just want to say thank you for creating this beauty, will post pic when get it
So cool to hear, and having seen both but only driven one, I'd have gone the way you have—particularly for a street car. Many thanks for sharing your feelings, and please do share a pic when your car arrives!

Again 1st world problem. Thanks for checking in Stout. Also, My 992 was at rareshades 6 this year. Not sure if you were there. Great event
Nice! This was our feeling while driving to Pikes Peak in 2020…the 718 Spyder feels like a keeper, so we wondered what could be done with the interior to increase the specialness around the car. I wonder if your car was the car PCNA reached out to us about the headlights, due to supply issues with the LEDs. No LEDs or no car wasn't a tough choice, and your car may end up as unique or at least very unusual. Thanks for coming out to Rare Shades 6, and hope to see you soon!

From what we understand, any 718 Spyder allocation can be equipped with the 000 Package if GT Silver is selected. We added GT Silver to address price and allocations, but I have to say it's become more and more appealing to me due to the interior's CGT vibes.

Default Picked up my 000 yesterday

I picked up my 000 Spyder in Slate grey yesterday. I drove it home from the dealer almost 300 miles and I loved every minute of it. The interior has every single piece done in leather and it is something very special indeed. For example, the trim piece around the shifter/control buttons is Ascot Brown leather. Going to this level of detail, while indulgently expensive, gives the car an elegant, cohesive and luxurious look that is simply gorgeous.

So fantastic.... Please share photos when you can. I have a Spyder coming soon, and I will remove a lot of the Race-Tex after market. Frank over at Exclusive Options can relatively cheaply get leather parts into the car. The seats are the hard part in the Spyder. No relatively cheap way to make those all leather. https://exclusiveoption.com/

If I had an "unlimited budget", I would surely do what you did with the 000 Spyder. ENJOY a very special car!!!

Thanks Ken. I washed and detailed her today. I’ll post some pictures when I take some. BTW, I have used Exclusive Options before and they did great work on the pieces they sent me.

Great! Yes, I am 100% certain exclusive option / 000 is the very best way to go. I am just working on a tight budget, especially with the $15k ADM hit too.

For some Porsche NA 4.0 roadster perspective: $102k MSRP (incl. auto-top)

What perspective is that? We are talking about 000 Spyders.

He despise the manual top of the Spyder, amongst other things.

He is back preaching the superiority of the GTS again.

I will never forget my wife first reaction when I pull over to put roof up when it start raining, she goes “you pay over 100k and roof do not go up automatically?” What can I say? 🤷‍♂️

My wife was first shocked about the manual top just like yours, and commented the same exact words, and then got really annoyed to learn that cheaper Boxster models actually do come with auto top

lol, do people really hide costs from their spouses?…..

So anyone with a new 000 to show? The troll post above did a pretty good job at derailing the thread.
