Strangely that caught my eye, too. A ferociously expensive cabin, yet not full leather (dash, steering column, etc.)

Each to his own on wheels and wing, but from this first blushing bride honeymoon swoon, the Power Kit is well worth the premium.

I'm still thinking a wide body targa with power kit is going to be more useful to me than anything Porsche can do with the GT3 and its expected 450 horses.

Great looking car! Congrats!

I took an X51 C2S out for a test ride last weekend and decided to wait to see what the specs of the new GT3 will be.

Yes there is a retrofit kit for the X51. Porsche have a detailed publication, dated November 13, 2012 which sets out, in detail, the parts that are in the kit and step by step instructions on doing the conversion. No idea of cost though.

Its about the indulgence at these levels. I dont think the OP was concerned but rather got what options they admired.

My ideal Carrera 4S is 151K, the one I ordered is 143K. The 991 is much more expensive than the 997 generation was.

There isn't a spoiler to open/close so that button is deleted.

Yes, the X51 does include Sport Exhaust but wouldn't be a spoiler button as rear Spoiler is fixed.
