^yes. The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced that the chrome touring trim is the way to go and not just with dark colors. It's a very tasteful modern rendition of the retro classic 70's 911 and Singer look. I think it will age better than even the R.
Speaking of Singer i think the seat inserts on the touring resemble somewhat the Singer interior. Not anywhere as cool as Singer interior but reminds me of it for some reason
Because what people want and what people need usually do not match up. Perception weighs a lot more than reality for MANY things
You need to get out of the city ans smell the open road. Throttle steer works real well in second gear and keeps you within reasonable distance of 65. Try 49 James town to Mariposa. Not that far out of the bay.
PS Totally agree but GT3 makes a great road car and the hp is not too much.
What do you guys think of this? I'm not a huge fan of the chrome trim but I do think it accents silver wheels nicely and gives it a classic look
It would probably be rare since I doubt many will order Touring Package in Lava Orange. But I just don't like Lava Orange on anything but an RS. I've seen it in real life on several less extroverted 911's such as GTS and it just tends to clash a bit with the red tailights. It really needs all the black accents that the RS has (and that the 991.2 GT3 with wing has) to balance it out.
Therefore I would recommend against this color combo with Touring.

Yeah it's an interesting color. It does look red sometimes. There just isn't a good grey to go with it except maybe graphite blue.

As the owner of a Lava Orange car, and seeing other non-black trim Lava Orange cars, I do not think that silver is a good accent color. Definitely go all black (including wheels and whatever trim bits) with Lava Orange.
Do not go by the config tool, it's just a computer generated image. I would say it's like Miami Blue in that way--see it in person. And do not underestimate the difference in the color when complimented with black trim vs silver trim.
I am a Certified Porsche Brand Ambassador and I have a 2018 718 Boxster on order.. details in a separate post. But if I could afford to switch it to a GT3, this would be my configuration.
Chalk, Touring (manual,) 18-way seats, standard brakes, BOSE, and a few little aesthetic delights to punctuate and differentiate my car as a one-of-a-kind.
What are your thoughts?
Best daily, ever?
very 911R inspired decklid
nothing over the top, red chrono dial, chalk air vent slats and climate control panel
Satin Platinum wheels, black LEDs
Painted Side Skirts, Touring Package in Black (tinted taillights, black window trim, black Porsche logo)
