Carrera T ordered
 
I’m super excited about the upcoming Carrera T or as I like to call it, the franken-911. It borrows parts from the C2S, GTS, GT3 and GT2RS and mashes it all together into the Base chassis. I think it will make for a lively drive and experience behind the already excellent Base engine.

So I’ve got mine ordered for delivery late April/early May. I have several weeks before I have to lock in my config, but I’m shooting for a very minimalist options list. So far, this is what I’m getting:
White
CT interior in red
Carrera Sport wheels
Manual
Rear axle steering
Sport Chrono clock (in red)
4-ways
pedals in aluminum
Bose/voice control

Things I’m struggling with:
White vs Carrera White vs GT silver
Leather CT interior or Standard CT interior

Thoughts on all the above?

Is it noticeably different from the regular white?

Also - anyone know if there is a weight difference between the Carrera S IV wheel vs. the Carrera Sport wheel, and if so, how much?

If you really want dramatic weight reduction at the wheels, I would look into PCCB more than wheels itself. Unless, you go aftermarket route.

It’s more of a curiosity to be honest. I can’t imagine the experience will be much different between the two wheels. I tried searching around but couldn’t find info on modern wheels.

Was there any adm? for this model or was the ordering process easy?

And congrats on your order

Definitley carrara white! Honestly think it looks so much better than plain white.

Thanks! I did not pay an ADM but of course it depends on the stealership. 3 out of 4 that I spoke with wanted an ADM of $10k above MSRP citing very limited availability and very high demand. When asked what production numbers will look like, they can only give me a range of about 700-1500, production year only for 18. YMMV but will most likely be presented with an ADM.

Attached is a photo of W vs CW side by side. I will blind the viewer as to which is which - which does the OP like better?

I like the closer one which I believe is pure white which is the color of my 911.

Scorponok 11-24-2017 08:39 AM

Tough call! But I think I’m leaning towards the one on the right which I think is CW?

BlueNorther 11-24-2017 08:50 AM

I'm gonna say car on right is W, car on left is CW . White is white, CW is cream.

White more sporty, CW more ... elegant?
