Not allowed, just like you can't get PDK with the touring package. If you want PTS then you need to do the wing or look at a GTS.

It's a nod to the R owners, so many were PtS. F*ckers. I can't think of another reason, every Porsche save for the Cayenne is available for PtS. At least offer us a Meerbleu, Brewster Green or Aubergine Porsche, something that goes well with the aluminum/silver trim.

me too. Specifically I was told in writin from Porsche Exclusive:

"PTS is not possible in combination with the Touring Package. At this time, we have no information that could signify otherwise."


also, regarding Feb 2018, that's the first month that Touring Package cars will be made, according to my dealer principle who told me that in response to my question to him about whether switching from my PTS order to a Touring Package car without PTS would move up my production to an earlier date (answer is no because of this fact). In other words, I think the earlier poster above who said maybe PTS in Feb 2018 is definitely misinformed.

It should only come in 'touring' colors--metallic brown, dark green, beige, Pana and Pepper colors.

.

Incorrect. My car is November lock and December production and we have changed the spec to touring with no date change.

Additionally, I know of someone else who is a November production car and his config was changed successfully as well.

Even on the Canadian configuration it notes that the option is available as of November...

Isn't this car a nod to the 1973 rs 2.7 touring? If so, weren't those cars mostly white or bright colors - yellow, green, orange, etc.

I personally think Brewster Green or Slate Grey would look great on this car, but if someone is trying to stick to the rs2.7 touring colors theme, a bright color would be more appropriate.

Or am I thinking about the wrong car?
