Carmine Red "METALLIC"??...Took the Amaranth and Carmine samples out in the sun, I could not see any metallic in the Carmine. I thought maybe it had a little pearl in it but if did it was so fine as to hardly be noticeable. The sales manage said he did not see any pearl and considered it to be a solid color. If you notice in the configurator the other 2 special colors specifically say metallic but not the Carmine.
Also, the sales manage noticed that his Cayman/Boxster configurators still had the Amaranth color listed, even though it has been removed from the public version. I asked if maybe it might still be available for a while, so he tested it by changing the color on one of his current inventory builds and was able to save it. Hopefully it will be available for the rest of MY2014 ??
Saludos,

A base 981 + X73 (sport suspension) + sport wheel with 18" wheels is oodles more purist than this GTS, and $20k cheaper to boot. Everything else is PAG marketing fluff.
Just make the darn things lighter and stop playing idiotic "power" games like putting the exact same 3.4 DFI engine in all these cars and "giving" them these HPs:
315hp Boxster S
325hp Cayman S
330hp Boxster GTS
340hp Cayman GTS
350hp 911 Carrera
Seriously? Rumors have it they are forming a Committee looking into a 335hp Boxster GTS+ and 345hp Cayman GTS+ featuring door pulls instead of handles. So exciting!!

the Boxster GTS saves $8500 over speccing a regular Boxster S as closely as possible incl the interiors , and since Porsche charges 991S customers $17,000 for an extra 30 hp for the Power Kit , think of the 15 hp bump for the GTS models as an additional $6000 in Porsche gouge dollars for a " 50% Power Kit " ( I took out the price of the PSE already included in the GTS ) , so if you look at it THAT way, the GTS package saves $14,000 , give or take and will probably command higher % resale down the road to boot.

Standard features on the GTS which are options on the S are;
Porsche Dynamic Lighting System (PDLS)... $ 690
Model designation on doors...................... $ 300
Tinted Tail lights................................... $ 575
PASM.............................................. ... $1,790
Sport Exhaust..................................... $2,890 (with black exhaust tips on GTS)
20" Carrera S wheels............................ $1,560
Leather Interior w/ Sports Seats Plus........$2,960
Sports Design Steering Wheel (Alcantara)..$ 450
Sports Chrono...................................... $1,850
plus these options not priceable on an S
Black exhaust tips .................................. ?
Blacked out headlights............................. ?
Sport Design front fascia.......................... ?
Total.....................................(at least) $13,065
So, if the base cost is an additional $11,400 for the GTS over the S, the GTS package price is actually discounted slightly from an equalized equipped S, and you get the extra 15hp and pedigree of a GTS.

Yes, thx. At least the Spyder and the R made decent attempts to shed weight which makes them stand out from the rest.
Now, when I see the list, I notice two "gaping" HP holes in their model line-up 330-340hp and 340-350hp. The 335/345hp Boxster/Cayman GTS+ that I joked about may not be that far off.
