I sure hope it's not another case of functionality omission--like the 18-way seats omitting the memory seat function.

 

Yeah, they are terrific cars. The GTS is the jewel of that lineup...the naturally-aspirated engine revs and revs, and the PDK mapping is great for a sedan of that size...and the exhaust...wow. What are your specs/colors, etc...?

 

I wanted something different from the GT3 that doesn't handle as tightly so I omitted the PDCC and got it in jet black. Here are my specs (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/por...e/?c=/PF3XMHG5)

Outside of white and CF trim, what else did you get on yours?

I was just looking at the configurator and it had LED in black as an option. I don't recall seeing that option when I spec'd the car. At least now I think I would have ordered it. The interior should look like this.

 

I was going to order this combo but it was not an option back then.

 

You have a Panamera GTS as well? How do you like it if you do?

 

Definitely different - the Panamera has the camera, the GT3 does not...more misleading information/specs...disappointing.

 

Mine is:
White
Carbon interior, illuminated sills, PDK in carbon, alcantara interior/Carmine red stitching, Porsche Car Connect, Parkassist with camera, power sum blinds, premium package, Bose, LED headlights in black, 20" Sport Wheels in Black, Lane Change Assist, Sport Chrono and dials in white. Found this car in dealer stock yesterday (in California) and locked it up...here are some pics.

 

Unfortunately, I am not surprised. It seems the engineering-generated Service Information Tecknik booklets are more to be trusted than the marketing-generated configurator option descriptions.

With luck, my GT3 will arrive shortly, and I will be sure to compare its functionality or lack thereof for similar options with that of my Turbo S coupe.

 

Reminds me of the movie "Twins". Awesome and congrats.

 

haha - thanks - actually triplets...this is our Cayenne Turbo!

 

ooops , I didn't read the entire thread and thought we were talking about GT3 LED headlights which were blacked out. I had the Panamera GTS as a loaner for a week and had a hard time giving it back.

 

Congrats Jeff on the new GTS..looks great. And thanks again for spending the time to show me your GT3.

 

Thanks - my pleasure - great to meet up with you. Keep me posted on your build, and ETA.
Jeff

 

Too funny! Only a trained eye can tell them apart

Good to hear. Can't wait.
