Quick Poll: Carmine Red stitching, or Rhodium Silver stitching? Which would you choose?


(I'd choose silver stitchings with the silver instrument dial.)

I'm confused now. Does this mean you don't get NAV and PCM without this option?

I think this depends on the material choice of your seats.

I have no idea; there's no icon to click to even see what it includes.

Keadog

And if you click it, you have to delete the full natural leather interior. That can't be correct, I hope.

Mmmmm.... congifurator. :heart:

I was hoping that they would have one as well. Don't think I have the patience to wait 12 months for the facelift though. Ugh, decisions decisions

Awesomeness! That works for me.

Now time to waste some time. Thanks.

Found this on planet 9;

"Both the standard and optional packages have Alcantara surfaces.

Forces ordering of GTS Communications package which includes: "Only in combination with standard leather/Alcantara interior: Seams in contrasting colour, seat belt edges in contrasting colour, GTS logo stitched to headrest in contrasting colour, floor mats with black surround with the seams and Porsche logo in contrasting colour. Trim on switch panel, door panel and centre console in Carbon. Instrument dials in Carmine Red [or RS]. "

May come with more, but in any event it's nearly a $5K option and prevents the ordering of ventilation seats."


Looks like it's just their way of charging you 8k for the deviated stitching, leather and carbon. I guess the GTS package isn't nearly the deal I originally thought it was.

My order came out to $128,000 with the GTS package + required communications package, LED headlights, SPASM, manual, and a couple other minor things. Even with a 6% discount I'm at $120,000 now. I think earlier posters were actually right; probably not worth the upgrade for those of us that already own a 991 but a good value for new buyers. The GT3 does appear to be a vastly superior value -- even if it's not truly a GT3.

Interesting info on the "GTS Communications package." I do dig the seat belt edges in contrasting color, though. Saw it on the Cayman GTS in Monterey in August. Very hot.

Now I'm debating if I want to get a GTS for DD duty, and relegate my GT2 (which I've been DD'ing for a while now) to weekend duty. Hmm. Ugh. I make tough decisions every single day, but these seem to always be the ones to stump me.

I'm not sure the configurator is working properly right now. I'm going to wait till tomorrow to see how things are.

Ventilated seats are available with the Leather interior, but not with alcantara, probably because perforating the man-made fabric would weaken it..

Of course the GTS is just a marketing program putting together discounted options packages. Nothing wrong with good business and good marketing. In my case, the GTS represents an incredible savings for options that I wanted anyway.

Yesterday, I was 10 days away from an order freeze on a C4S Cab. Today I have a GTS 2 Cab on order. I had never really wanted the 4WD 911, but I just couldn't resist the wide body. So now I have exactly what I wanted in a 2WD wide body. But more important is the pricing. The GTS 2's base price is $8570 more than the C4S. However, my (overly) spec'd C4S included PSE, SportChrono, black SportTechnos, and SportDesign front fascia, mirrors and steering wheel. Those items cost an additional $11,350 on the C4S, so the GTS will actually cost me almost $3000 less than the C4S.

And oh ya . . . in addition to the $3000 savings, I get the $13,000 X51 power kit "for free." I love the GTS!!!

I think there's zero doubt that if you were intending on purchasing a new 2s/4s 991 -- the GTS is a fantastic value.

As an upgrade I think it leaves a lot on the table. Last n/a 911 might make it worth it sorta...

Not truly a GT3???
