You guys are incredible. Almost all were salivating at the thought of this car and urging Porsche to build it, build it, build it...and yet as soon as it comes out...it's knock the sh@t out of it.
I personally love it and will have one in my garage early 2018 as a complement to 964 RS.

What color combo will you be speccing Chris ?

I was thinking the same thing re: splitter. I'd spec'd it and use it on my RS but don't have it on 991.2 Targa and don't have any issues. I'm also struggling with the color choices. My targa is Irish Green (and I really love the color) and ideally, I could swap this car for a Irish Green GT3, but the configurator seems to suggest PTS will not work. I called my dealer yesterday and they are looking into it.
I'd actually planned to give pass on the 991.2 GT3, but really like the look of the touring, so I'm going to go ahead and get the car.
Agree on good stable mate to GT2RS.

of course there's no way to know now when and whether that might change. But at least for the currently known production (presumably all of MY2018?), the answer is NO.

Damn!.. Was hoping it was just a configurator bug !
porsche Exclusive rep told me twice in writing, once launch day, once yesterday when I asked again, that NO PTS is possible with Touring Package. And further, there is no information to suggest that will change.

Of course nothing to stop us 99%'ers ordering a GT Silver and or White GT3T and throwing on a couple R stripes (post purchase) in Green or Red
I'm either doing GT3T in a std color and will dress it up post purchase (white is a great canvas), or GT3 'wing' in PtS. In any case I'm speccing manual with LWB.

My dealer told me yesterday that PTS is available for Touring but will result in a 3-5 months delay. It's also around EUR 9000.

So this is a bow to the R owners, if any. They won't let the GT3T plebs go wild with PtS colors therefore keep in tact at least some of the R exclusiveness. F*ckers.

I also think the "black cloth" seat fabric (as opposed to houndstooth / pepita), is also a bow to R owners to visually differentiate GT3T from R. Porsche can use the excuse that GT3T is homage to '73 2.7 RS Touring (which had similar corduroy black cloth seat inserts) all they want, but everyone knows this car is much more of a direct homage to R than that classic.
Of course, we could splurge on CXX custom tailored seats option ($8700) and get houndstooth seats (or anything else we want), but that's a lot of coin.

Could you please explain what CXX means and how mortals like me have access to it? (assuming it's a kind of Porsche Exclusive thing or something)

CXX options are done after the car comes of the line with standard finishes, hence the high price.

CXX is the 3-digit alphanumeric code that designates any Porsche Exclusive option that is custom tailoring. Porsche offers many many choices along these lines all having to do with tailoring specific interior trim pieces and some exterior options too (factory installed stripes, mirrors or other exterior elements painted different from standard, etc). Each CXX option has different price depending on the item. Seats are now $8700 and for that, you get to pick your choice of leathers, Alcantara, microfiber, and cloth options (from a selection of available fabrics they offer) as well as your choice of deviated stitching or piping in an assortment of colors as well as your choice of embossed Porsche crest and/or model designation on the headrest (or neither). Note that you can only due CXX custom tailored seats on either 18-ways or LWBs (not 4-ways), and you still also have to pay the option cost for one or the other of those.

and yes anyone should be able to get these options. Just ask your dealer. Note these options may delay delivery of your car several months.

these options aren't online. And AFIK, there's no comprehensive menu available either. What I do know is that you can custom tailor virtually any interior surface of the car, and all have different prices, as long as it doesn't affect actual function of the car (no wiring changes, etc). On exterior you can have wheels custom painted different colors including pin stripe on them in any color, mirrors painted, etc.

seems we are both in same boat and thinking same thing.
