Default New 991.2 Turbo

Hi all,

I'm new to the Porsche world. I recently purchased a 911 Turbo floor stock from a dealer, but is spec'd almost as I'd have done so myself! I absolutely love this car.
Here are a few pics- also, apologies in advance about the myriad of questions that I'll ask.

Thanks,

Nice.

I don't even want to know how much that cost Down Under with the tariffs/taxes/fees you folks have.

Enjoy it!

Congrats, beautiful car. I assume the dealer put on the front plate mount? Looks like factory. Remember to "mildly" break it in the first 2k miles.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I personally love red interiors, especially on black or white cars.

Very happy with the entire combination, probably would have opted to change dial colour to something else. The rest is as I'd have done!

Thanks mate!

We get ripped off here big time- this one was around $304,000 USD.

Waaaa! I said I didn't want to know

50% bonage.

From reading, it seems, also, that Down Under the penalty for speeding is worse than for murder...

Great idea!
Will do so when the weather gets a bit nicer (terribly cold atm).
