I think that option doesn't really apply to Touring (configurator error, imo). On the regular GT3, it removes GT3 and leaves just Porsche (already gone on Touring). Don't think you can opt out of the "GT3 Touring" badge on the rear decklid...

Maybe, and I know (I have spent eons on the configurator), but the configurator does not allow you to get Porsche logo and model designation paint on touring, but does allow model designation.

In other news, the touring supposedly comes with door panels inserts in black aluminum per the written description. This is interesting because it is inconsistent with every other 911 as it seems to come even without full leather however the optional inserts (leather, carbon, don't seem to carry over to the doors without full leather). Also unclear if this different than anthracite aluminium (which is allowed to be specced as an option).

I am sure this will all be resolved shortly by the configurator police.

Still shows on configurator and my order went v200 with the option.

Humm. Maybe you lose the badge on the grill in back?

^I imagine that's the case, like what was seen on the graphite blue prototype on autogespot.

Anthracite is not the same as the standard. For those who got their GT3s delivered and ordered anthracite it came lighter color than on config. It came lighter than anthracite shown on config but darker than the standard aluminium so it is somewhere in the middle.

The GT3 touring standard is darker. If you select anthracite you will see on configurator it is a little lighter than what comes standard on the touring.

Pictures attached, the lighter is anthracite when selected on configurator and the darker is standard.

Answer per Lapis’s visit to exclusive: nothing is deleted. Configurator error.
