Trying to think about where I might have suggested the Touring is a different car—other than the vibe it conveys, which I found very alluring in a 500E/E500 kind of way. It is definitely a visual package. It was VERY different to the Carrera T I drove it with back to back through France and the old Monte route, but that goes without saying. Didn't feel very different to the regular 991.2 GT3 we tested for 000 last summer. Still mulling whether we will publish a bigger story on the T/Touring drive in 000. Frankly, it was one of the best drives of my life, and I think the story would be a good one to tell—but there's a but: The structure of the event precluded me bringing a 000 shooter, so we'd have to use (the very, very good, thanks to who they brought) press photos, and that feels a bit funny in 000.
Sorry if I misquoted your comments on how Porsche engineers occasionally have a surprise up their sleeves and how small differences can make for big changes in the experience. Must’ve been my wishful thinking as I read your post, for it came right after I locked my order.
Still hoping to see a 000 article on the GT3T!
Cheers

Thanks Pete, I was hoping you’d join the discussion.

Now, for the good news: The "basis" cars in question are insanely good.
And I think you are going to be thrilled...

Chris,
Maybe the sound your are noticing is the particle filter now for petrol cars in Europe? One would
Need to compare to a recently delivered GT3, not your early delivery one. Keep us posted.....because if true, the dealers should already know.

Lol - I mentioned this as tongue in cheek. The filters are not required until September (according to our Joker friend).

It would surprise me a lot if they started producing cars with filters before they actually have to. Those components aren't cheap.
@mowaffaq: very nice car. A question - did you spec the Porsche "shield" on the center console lid? I can't seem to find it in the configurator... Do you have the option code?

also the .2GT3RS is currently not equipped for EU with the filter.
just 2 or 3 ways catalyst can be found as info.
"Die Sportabgasanlage des neuen 911 GT3 RS hat 2 Vorschalldämpfer, 2 Katalysatoren sowie einen Endschalldämpfer und 2 zentrale Endrohre aus Titan."
If it is about a combined particel filter in the catalyst - it is always the talk of a "4-way" catalyst.

With its garage mate. Delighted with the Touring. Has some very cool connections to older 911’s I think such as chrome trim and engine sound. I cannot detect any difference to the winged manual I drove at the PEC earlier this year. Engine note very similar to my ears.
