It's a Porsche 911. Go for it!


The yellow suits the T really well. I thought about spec'ing it in that color but I asked multiple dealers in chicago area who told me they cant sell yellow ones for the life of them.
Sad, I would have really enjoyed it. At the end of the day I switch cars so frequently I didnt want to take a bigger bath on resale than I already will (RWD, manual, in a snowy state).
I will live vicariously through your photos.

Good to hear! I've had Rhodium Silver, Platinum Silver, Carmine Red and Racing Yellow in that order. The RY definitely makes me smile the most. Looks stunning in the sunshine, but am looking forward to seeing it brighten up a winter day too!

Just placed my order for a July production its been a while since I have been in a 911, very excited. I did a few things that are for me on this build so some might look at it as not needed but it will be a special ride that I hope to really enjoy!

Gards Red / PDK
Carrera T interior (full leather and red stitch)
Model Delete & Glass Roof
20" Carrera Sports in Titanium Grey
Light Design, Rear Footwell
Air Vents Slats
Extended Leather Dashboard
Interior Trim Leather
Steering Column Leather & Inner Door Sills in Leather
Alcantara Sun Visors
Bose Sound System

** I am not sure about the Sport Titanium Grey Wheels with Guards Red and then Black Roof.. will it all come together nicely? Can amend it Monday.

Got my T last friday. Did about 150km's, mostly with revs less than 4000. Feels very lively and usable for everyday traffic. Mine, GT silver, guards red interior package standard, 4 way seats, few bits and light weight glass, manual of course. Very basic and stripped build. Also installed porsche child seat in the back for 4 year old. Works perfectly.

My biggest concern was the noise, since light weight glass and less insulation. I can honestly tell you thaty this is not a problem, the car is not too loud, it is just perfect. You can hear the engine noises and mechanical stick shift clicks. It is very nice combination, if anyone is having thoughts with light weight glass, they should definately go for it. It is also better for future valuation.

Gears from 1-6 are absolutely fantastic, 7th is a little tricky, but it is an overdrive, and used only on autobahns etc. I would concider this car a 6 speed car, with and overdrive for 7th in certain situations.

Overall very nice car, I am definately very pleased with T and this car will be a keeper.

Dunno if you’re going to know the exact number unless you contact PCNA. Here’s some other ideas -

1 of Tee

1 of 911

Which dealer are you working w/? The glass roof and Bose don't fit into the car's character. Go for your spec though.

I think the dark grey wheels will look fine with the roof. The roof looks really good on GR.

Northern911T thanks for posting about noise level. I have been wondering about that myself as I await shipment.
