I hope they provide the option to do those retro seat centers for GT3s. What was the cost of the option for the R to get them?

Really like the black/red.

Just can't figure out why you would A/C delete and add wart and leather?

The houndstooth center fabric is standard. In the process of configuration, you are asked by your dealer if you want black or tarpan brown leather.

No A/C = very brave! I can't imagine driving my R in 100+ degree weather without A/C!

Ah, now I get it! Another weight loss feature. Drive around without AC for a while and loose weight sweating.

"No engine" would be even more radical and purist, making it the lightest RS in existence (not to mention weight distribution) hence absurdly desired and expensive, killing any incentive to drive it which is how "no engine" comes in play. Plus nothing ever blows up.

Didn't you know? The 911R is all about driver feedback and sensations. Sweating profusely is one of the key features and that's why it deserves the 400K over in markup!!

It's for the purist who doesn't want these mechanical aids. Use your feet just like Fred Flintstone for the most feel of the road.
