I was debating whether to cancel my order for my ‘18 TTS when I heard a few weeks ago that the exclusive edition is coming. Glad I didn’t. Although other colors are available, I don’t see the value for the money. The special stitching threads, stripes and watch are meaningless to me. The carbon rear intake covers are nice as is the added power but all that can be had for far less if I wanted it. They call it golden yellow but I wonder if it’s actually the new saffron color?

I just can't get over that paint scheme...yikes. It reminds me a bit of the classic lotus look, but doesn't seem to flow as well.

One has to wonder if porsche will produce a "miss" on one of these exclusive cars.

I have seen the paint in real life. The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. In actuality, it's brilliant.

I think the color is cool. I'd never pick it, but it's an interesting choice. That said, it looks suspiciously like VW Sandstorm Yellow seen on their Dune Beetle





Performance numbers are on point for what was expected. I was hoping to see a bespoke body kit -- primarily a unique bumper/front apron. That would have really made a difference here.

I'd hope this is obvious, but
This car not for RL
This car for $$$

Porsche is a luxury goods company.

Cheapest horsepower bump ever. For Porsche that is.

HP change with no torque change means that the 27 extra hp is accomplished by having the boost controller hold boost for a few hundred rpm more than 'stock.'

2 byte change to the parameter file. Maybe 4.

As for the rest: meh.

It will look great in white as well as black, can't wait to see pix of other available colors.
