I have a GT3 Touring incoming w/ 4 way sofas and am thinking of doing the houndstooth inserts as my car doesn't have any fancy options inside. These inserts would liven up the cabin quite a bit without being over the top. Can someone point me to where I can this done?
Great to see the diversity of opinions here. Something for everyone (or not).
I just thought "what a pretty car".
Thanks for sharing it!
While it's not the 991.2 that I would order (or pay for, were that in the budget...), I file this one under "I'm glad it's out there"—as I think it's interesting and cool to see. There are a lot of Porsches out there that aren't something I'd want but are nonetheless intriguing to consider, and this car is far more interesting than one more in white, silver, or?

Give Arling at rstrada a call, his work is second to none.
One of the things about the 911 community that I really appreciate is the attention to configuration detail. I don’t think many people really understand why $20-60k in options is considered normal, but to everyone here the idea that each car is unique in some way is in fact normal.

I think with a black roof it would be fine. Current roof just clashes. Lots of other cars out there at that price though - Portofino, Vantage, 911 Turbo, NSX...

Congrats on the new Touring. There is a company they talk about in the 991 GT3 Forum that does pepita and tartan inserts. Look over there. It's called some F1......

I had a Mahogany/Espresso 981S with a brown top. It’s just so tough to pull the different browns together IMO. I went back to black for the last two cars.
I'm with many of you here - I really like this combination. It's striking and all design and colour elements work nicely together. It is an ultimate "tourer", right? But... would I lay down a deposit on this? No. Just like I didn't on the very limited Porsche Design Edition C4S in Etna Blue. Sometimes (for a second or two) I regret not buying it as one did come up available in a local showroom. But I keep coming back to what Porsche means to me and what I've gone through a few on my search for the ultimate driver. Maybe I'm fighting my age as the T I'm ordering is a very different car than this, and perhaps more attuned to some vestige of boy-racer in me, right? But what I love about Porsche is it's a brand with a wide variety of people, from all backgrounds of life, and that while we may disagree on a certain colour or performance option (MT vs PDK, PDDC vs steet etc...) our purchases say we agree on the overall concept, the overall "DNA" of the company.
Super-cool build for a whack of $$$ but if you have it who cares, right?

Fully agreed. Builds like this—and PTS and LTS—remind me of that. As the production numbers go up, up, up, the custom tailoring options really a way to retain a bit of the 356/901/912/914 (or, for that matter, 928, 964, etc) specialness...that "unexpected"/considered aspect I loved when I saw some of the older cars. They were rarer sights in the world, and so even a "normal" off-the-shelf Irish Green or Slate Gray or Rubystone car was an event. What I am finding very interesting as GT3 production skyrockets (with high percentage of PTS) is that even those builds are becoming "common" (at least on Instagram and in SoCal and at events). Making cars like this Targa rarer in the "wow, what nut job (I mean genius) ordered this? I need to walk around it a bit" sweepstakes. This may be a non issue in places other than California, parts of the eastern seaboard, Florida, etc. Actually, it's massively different between northern CA and southern CA. I cannot believe how many 991.2 cars I see driving around in LA whenever I am down there. It feels like half of 991.2 production must be going there…
My interest in driving dynamics means I prefer plain jane cars over those with a lot of frou frou, so I wouldn't order or buy this Targa—but I like that it exists.

Hmmm. 911 Turbo, yes.
Portofino: V8 Ferraris should have the engine in the back.
Vantage: classy and elegant but 1990s technology.
NSX: LOL 3,900 lbs Duke nukem forever on four wheels.
But well optioned McLaren 570, yes I'll give you that.
