Default Dubai 911 launch event

Just got back. Sorry no pics as my wife was the official photographer and she left early before the cars came out once the baby got irritable.

They had four 991S vehicles a white, red, black & silver (don't ask which one) of course all Pdks.

My only comment seeing it first time in real life is that from the front the car just looks a lot wider than the 997.

They also send would have vehicles in showroom Feb 1 and test drives can be booked.

Forget to mention I got a gift on leaving event a matchbox size solid silver 991S model.

Also met my salesperson there who said my car is about to arrive if it hasn't already arrived! I told him I'll check on that status next week. For some reason I am no longer in any rush. I could wait till Mid Feb.

Of course I liked the red which is what I have on order. Other than that I also liked the silver (again don't ask me which one it was). It looked really good in the indoor lighting. If I were to get a 2nd porsche later in life I would certainly consider the silver color seriously.
