US price premium could theoretically be less, since we don't get the Clubsport package like ROW which is included in the price.

Hahaha flower pot is the first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures. Not digging that color, maybe looks different in person. The 997 RS Orange is sooooo much better in my opinion.

Car looks very nice and muscular though. If I was to take one I'd go white if PTS was not available.

At least its no whorehouse red.



We all know red is slowest and for people who don't know cars.



See post#1.
I could have been more accurate describing the color as flower pot orange.
I actually like it because I like flower pot orange a lot, I like Dutch orange, Dutch flowers and pots.

Isn't clubsport a no cost option in Europe?

I suspect they'll make quite a few of these,no?


Maybe I'm wrong...I remember a few folks that have mentioned their dealers told them that their chance of getting one is slim to nil...

The specs are super disappointing, especially the weight savings.

Not too thrilled with the orange. Looks like Zanzibar to my eyes. Was hoping for something a bit more bold and vibrant. Most curious to see the mystery purple.

I agree. It looks like the flower pot color already mentioned or salmon. Looks like white or silver are the best choices in my eyes.

Wow, so it weighs less than the 991GT3, but by 10 Kg? This must be a mistake.

Still don't like it, even if it weighed 100 Kg less.

+1 Love it too! I think the model turned out to be 100% accurate, and it still looks great, even though we knew what to expect. As for the interior, I'm not sure if the tach is white or just a lot of glare on it. But white would be a departure from the GT3 grey. Wish there was an orange seat inlay delete. Prefer black interior. Also, we all keep mentioning the modest bump in hp, but let's not forget the aero, which may be where the biggest gains are. Can't believe how fast today came along!!! It's like Christmas morning!
