Yes, they are the 'old' gt2-type 'sport bucket seats'. The latter are still available in ROW on both 981 and 991 since introduction of those new models! But not here as you well know.

What is name of that interior (tan) color in the last picture ? Is it a current option in US ?

Z356

It's 'Umber', hombre! How quickly we forget. It was a 'Special Leather' offering like 'Agate' that cost approx. US$430 extra over base leather (e.g. 'Black'). It's not a current option any longer on the 991. It was dropped* and not replaced. I don't think 'Umber' was ever offered on the 981.

'Umber' never had much of a following. It was introduced as a Cayenne leather interior before it became available on the 991. The standout player 'brown/tan' color from the Cayenne interior selections was 'Espresso/Cognac'. Due to demand for that combo, PAG & 'Porsche Exclusive' eventually decided to offer that two tone combination on the 991 too. It is currently one of the most striking & notable leather interiors available on a Porsche!

PS Don't know exactly when 'Umber' was dropped. Possibly for MY2014.

Riviera Blue S or GTS?
says S on the side but the front and rear bumpers are "GTS style"

plus the bumpers are painted "exterior color"
that option is not available on the US configurator
maybe just an artist rendering?

Z356

Artist's GTS but based on this custom 'Porsche Exclusive' Boxster S that I photographed at the factory last year!

Great build!

Reading through the last few pages of this thread I noticed that the PTS option was only recently made available for the Cayman. Flipping around on the configurator I'm seeing that the custom color option is there for the standard Cayman and the 'S' but not for the GTS. Seems strange that options start to drop off when you go higher up the model list.

I realize this is a project, but what is the ETA for section 5?

I ask because I requested a colored center stripe for the SportDesign Steering Wheel (leather or alcantara) for my Cayman GTS and I was told, "no can do" by Porsche Exclusive. This is despite the fact that Type 997 GTX cars had them. Granted, this could've been a result of my crappy salesman (my awesome original salesman left, argh!) dropping the ball as usual.

Welcome to the peculiar world of Porsche options. We are in a league of our own. On our super special & expensive Boxster Spyders for MY2011 & 2012, we were limited to 7 exterior colors while the 'lesser' Boxsters had double that number of choices! If you dig deeper into the how PAG operates, you begin to understand their seemingly bizarre logic. It usually has to do with the special panels for a particular model (e.g. the unique rear humps for the Spyder or the unique front bumper for the 981 Cayman/Boxster GTS) that are supplied by an outside vendor and are painted 'in situ'. So PAG tries to simplify the process and not complicate matters too much for themselves or their suppliers. You have to be around a while to realize how sensitive PAG is to warranty issues like if customer complains that their PTS colored bumper on their vehicle doesn't match the rest of the car. This makes a company like Porsche less incline to allow PTS on certain models unless they can control the paint process totally (usually in-house).

Section 5? Can you explain what you are talking about?

Only the .1 and .2 997 gt3 RS models had the colored band at 12 o'clock ('yellow' on the 3.6 & 3.8, 'red' on the 4.0 LE). The regular .1 & .2 997 gt3's didn't come with the band. And neither does the current 991 gt3! If you want a steering wheel with a band for your Cayman GTS, you'll have to buy a .2 997 RS sport design wheel 'after-sale' via Suncoast or your dealer. Of the Porsche models I follow, the only ones expected with a colored band on their steering wheel from factory will be the upcoming MY2015 991 gt3 RS and the 918 Spyder.
