Default Sports Chrono


I noticed the other day that the Sports Chrono on the 991.2 GT3 is not like the one pictured on the US configurator. The one on the configurator has more yellow markings.

The one on the bottom is from the configurator. I took the picture on the top from inside a new GT3.

Now I'm questioning whether it was just the lighting. Can somebody confirm?

Thinking about removing it from my build to unclutter the dash. Thinking about white dials and no sports Chrono.

A lot of opinions on this. I've had with and without. I hate the way it looks. I like uncluttered

I just looked at mine. It is Orange all the markings around it. I have always been a fan of the sport chrono just not the price. But prices have come down for the ornament. I think the car looks too plain w/o the Chrono. I highly recommend it. Now- on a Touring maybe it would look clean w/o it because with the Touring one is looking for a "Wolf in Sheep's clothing", sort to speak

Never had it. Always hated it. Prefer the look without. I think all GT3s now come standard with the sport chrono features built in, in order to work with the Porsche Precision app, regardless of whether the car has the sport chrono (really just a clock now) option selected or not. So it’s not required anymore to get those special features...

I'm not sure if this is right or not or if it applies to the 991.2 GT3 RS, it is from the 991 GT2 RS Catalogue:

"Chrono Package.

In addition to the analogue and digital stopwatch on the dashboard, the optional Chrono Package also offers the following functionality: upgraded PCM to include a performance display, enabling you to view, store and evaluate measured lap times. The driver can therefore obtain information about the timing and driven route of the current lap, as well as the previous laps and times achieved. The fastest lap and remaining range are also displayed. It is possible to both log itineraries and define reference routes. "

Yellow hash marks are faster.

Mine is exactly like you have in the first photo.

Whether to have it or not is more a personal choice on aesthetics now. I like it, I think it breaks up the monotonous look others call a clean look. So I got it.

+1 I think it breaks up the dash nicely.
