youtuber Nick Murray swears by it on his .2 C4S. But to each his own. I certainly wouldn't have it on a $150K-plus car. I only agree with him that his color combo (chalk leather with the grey/blue SportTech) makes for a nice two-tone interior look. But it would be much better to have a similar two-tone look in leathers, IMO.

The 911R prices are about to tumble. I think the GT3 touring looks fantastic.

Agree, we should see more "reasonably" priced "R"s on the market soon. However, the "R" is still a very desirable car, with the specially shaped magnesium roof and front cover. The "Touring" will almost be a "daily driver" type GT3, which can go into "stealth mode" at low revs and deactivated sports exhaust.

I'd expect them to drop a good 100K. As it's still a very very desirable car.

The Touring sounds perfect for me. Lets hope the allocation of cars increases on top of the low GT3 production.
