Check your email. I don't know a whole lot more about LtS.
But it's a great option which just a few have taken advantage
of here on Rennlist. But at least one of them is very happy
with his choice:

As you saw on the beautiful 'Gulf Blue' Spyder of Targa75,

a CXX. With the proper push (or shove!), it would not
surprise me if a US or Canada customer could get it ordered
on his custom .2 991 or 718.

When dealing with 'Porsche Exclusive' in the US, it pays to
know if precedent has been set for what you want in other
markets (e.g. Europe) & then push hard for what you want!
In this case, we know of several cases where these 'Pepita'
inlays have been allowed. So press to your advantage!

Finally back in Scottsdale!
Now that Sport-Tex leather interior is available in the 991, maybe a deviated pepita/houndstooth could be more likely (easier) to get.

I just went through delivery of my Nogaro Blue C2S. More photos here, but I'll provide my most color accurate photo in this thread, followed by a comparison of Nogaro to Maritime and Voodoo blue.



Maritime on left and Voodoo on the right. I still don't understand the fascination with Voodoo blue, but I am new to the whole Porsche thing after all!

For future reference, there was a euro-spec C4s with houndstooth inserts.


911R with CXX wheels

Took delivery of a special ordered 1969 912 in Ossi Blue which looks close to Nogaro Blue.

Thanks Eduardo. For the archives here, and in case the hardcore Audi guys notice, the Nogaro paint was mislabeled as "metallic" when in fact it is actually pearl effect. Interestingly, I thought that approval was had for the Cayman too, but I'm not seeing it above.

Also, more general notes, I saw a ton of Voodoo blue GT3 RSs on the production line and awaiting transport. Mexico blue is VERY popular for all porsche models. I also saw a Gulf Blue RS as it was moving down the assembly line. The RS wing looks great in that color! I also saw what I believe was a Viper Green 991.2 parked outside, but (as always) it is hard to know for sure what color it was.

Your car looks fantastic! That might be my new dream color!

Is there anything that cannot be done?

Default LTS Questions

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered (I'm only about 1/2 way through this thread) but.....

Does leather to sample turn on and off like PTS? Or only have specific windows for ordering?

What I am interested in is more of a deviated leather, using existing Porsche approved products and colors but in different locations. As an example, Luxor Beige Seats with Black centers.

Thanks in advance

Yes. Both will disappear at some point, at which point neither can be ordered. What isn't clear to me is whether the ability to order PTS/LTS has passed before either disappears from the Configurator. I was told yesterday the next build slot for PTS cars is February; I don't know if LTS follows the same or similar schedule.

You should contact Porsche Exclusive directly. I emailed Atlanta yesterday (with a confirmed order # for my PTS build in February) and received a response in less than an hour.
Floating around here on Rennlist somewhere (I don't have the link handy) is an approved LTS list (colors already approved that wouldn't require a feasibility study). I'm in the process of trying to order LTS in black natural leather.
