That being said, it’s always fun to guess (I hope you do not mind). Maybe Dark Blue Metallic or Dark Sapphire metallic?

thank you you very much. Hopefully I can share with you before Friday. Until then, the guessing is welcome. It will be interesting to see which shades of blue pop up.

That is a beautiful spec. I would trade mine in for that in a heartbeat. Whoever the original owner was must have been super patient waiting for that car.

Looks like a color similar to another Albert Blue touring that was posted a few days ago. But that one had silver touring trim, no LTS and pictures where in direct sunlight so hard to say.

Dunno. Looks like on my approved list that the Dundleblau that is approved is the metallic version. It could be AGA, Bali or Oxford blue but don't show any of them as approved but who knows -anything is possible. I would bet Albert except there are several Albert blue cars and this one is claimed to be one of a kind. Interesting. Very cool regardless.

Picked up my Touring late last night. 15 mile drive home in stop and go traffic. Drove another 30 miles today. Initial impressions:
Clutch is light but now I'm used to it. Reverse takes a little more feathering to back up smoothly
Cabin noise, tire noise etc is fine. Didn't have any problem listening to the radio. Haven't been on the highway at 75 mph yet so I might have a different opinion
Torque is strong in every gear. Hard to keep it under 4k rpms. Car just wants to go!
Car sits very low. Had to use FAL to get out of the dealer's parking lot. Don't know how many times I'll use but it's there if I need it.

Some pleasant surprises that have nothing to do with being a GT3:
Finally a back up camera. Long time over due.
A radio volume level indicator finally
Thumbs up for Apple Car Play. Waze is great.

I've had a lot of nice cars. Most twice the cost of the Touring. I can't think of better all around car than the Touring.

Here's the obligatory the picture. Yep, that's a little snow on the grass already.

Congratulations on your Touring! And thanks for your initial impressions, which are similar to mine. You will definitely hear more road noise at higher speeds, especially on rough pavement.

After owning mine now for over 10 months (and almost 8,000 miles), I'm really starting to realize more and more, what a special car it is.

There's just something about the lines of a basic silver 911... Little beknownst to most though just how special of a 911 it is though. Enjoy the car- spec is on point!

Just heard the word "badonkadonk" today for the first time (I'm 62). Sort of reminds me of a Touring...look it up if you don't know.

That's funny. You're are correct. Highly descriptive. Maybe this video will help
