Default 991.2 Turbo S Exclusive Edition - $278K MSRP

When I went to pick up my new to me 997.2 TTS a few days ago, this was at the dealer and had just been delivered. Pretty Sick, especially those Carbon Fiber Wheels

I heard this Exclusive Edition is 600+ HP and had an MSRP of $278K. They owner of the dealer collects and this was one of his.

Gold in the carbon fiber interior trim!!

Not crazy about the color, but it was still pretty hot looking.

It's kind of funny, but in a non-cosmetic sense, that's the most meaningful upgrade in this car. I like the gold accents in the carbon fiber - surprised I do, actually.

I think it's great. Given the overall theme, however, I might have tried to add a bit more gold stitching to the interior.

In fact, I've seen one in Germany and it looks outstanding. In particular, the level of thoughtful detail instilled into it by Exclusive is truly beautiful.

Beautiful Exclusive in my opinion. The gold looks great to me.

Here's my car at the first track night this year:

I'm not sold on carbon wheels (for myself). No touching up those bad boys.

People that can afford that car probably aren't worried about it like that. Us mortals have to think that way though. lol

Although I think that the black and gold wheels that come the Exclusive Turbo are very elegant, if I had one of those cars, I believe that I would get the carbon fiber ones both because I like how they look in conjunction with other carbon fiber incorporated in the car and, more important, the reduction in unsprung and rotating weight at each corner. And, indeed, the weight benefits at a cost of approximately $1000 per pound saved is reasonable in comparison to several other options.

I just have to say it. I don't care for this car. At $278k, this should be called "High Margin Edition" instead. If it was $215k, at least I would appreciate that somebody got a spec they like, but it's just not for me. I'd go with a GT3RS for that money (including ADM)
