Default 2018 GT3 Touring PTS Sport Classic Grey w CXX touches

RL'ers

Excited to share my purchase through Graham Rahal ( terrific experience!) of a delivery mile sport classic grey touring. I've left it at Graham's place to have a new set of HRE 101s in Brushed Dark Clear installed and will pick up mid month and drive to our home in Nashville, My plan is to use it in Nashville until post Thanksgiving and likely ship to our California home for the winter. Only 14 more sleeps!

That's purty. They had a sapphire Turbo S that had some mods (intercoolers etc) that I had my eye on but I reacted too slowly. They seem to get some good cars.

Cool car! Oh and prepare yourself for the inevitable snarky comments from the Touring groupies who think it’s sacrilege to have the wing up at any point other than when it automatically deploys

Congrats. That was owned by a rennlister here. There is a short video of its delivery on YouTube I think too. The calipers were done after delivery. But I can’t remember what else.

Thanks everyone !

The PO has the calipers/ wheels powder coated and I believe the seat inserts done as well. I'll be swapping the wheels out as noted with a set of HRE 101s in Brushed Dark Satin which I think will be a perfect compliment to the color/stripes and of course remove a decent amount of unsprung weight.

Very nice spec on the touring. Curious if the Factory did the leather tunnel and sides in the Back or was that done after. if after who did it and if you don't mind what was the cost as I want to do my rear tunnel in leather.
