Default Schmee GT3 and tour of Exclusive Manufaktur

Don't know if this has already been shared, but I thought I'd throw it out there. We all know excitable Schmee has ordered a GT3, here's a vid of him putting some finishing touches on it in the Porsche Exclusive dept in Zuffenhausen. Pretty cool, especially on mute.


I just sold my GT3 and this makes me miss it almost immediately.

Thoughts on color?

I enjoyed his factory video just for the fact that he gave us an inside look since I have never visited the factory before. Personally he's a bit much for me but good for him to be able to do this, will check out this next video and hopefully get more of an insider access POV which will be cool to see.

Do not like that color, but not a fan of the PTS skittles color (would go Arena Red or NBM if I wanted PTS)

Until I saw this I did not believe they actually installed new parts after it is built.

One chooses to go CXX and the best they could come up with is a few pieces of alacantara and a white clock face...

I wonder if they would do an “F Manual” doorsill for me?

shocked to see that simply changing the color of the clock face requires a trip to Exclusive. one would think that would be easy to arrange on assembly line. Hand it to the guy, he has given us Porsche fanatics 2 amazing behind the scenes videos. Thanks Shmee

Youtube search the factory videos for the new Turbo S Exclusive Series. It's like an hour-long video of the entire production process, including when the add all these finishing touches. Best part is no voice over...

Looks like CXX you’re buying the same part twice? Seems like a waste, and why not add the part on the line with CXX arrives ...............or vs throwing away you should get both.

I ordered the white sports chrono through the configurator. Really perplexed why he's getting it done CXX??

Maybe he realized it after the order locked?

There is a difference between Exclusive options on the configurator versus CXX which are not, essentially off the books. Both are installed in the Exclusive custom tailoring area.
