That cut away is one of my favorite things, ever... where is that located?
They have one of those at the Automuseum Prototyp in Hamburg. I was there last week and was very impressed. Sorry, but I could not find an image of the cut-away.

Hi Folks - I am new to this thread, and I am in the process of purchasing a used, NA 911 -- most likely a 2015. I just wanted STG and the crew to know that I have reviewed the convo's on this thread for the past 10 days or so and received quite an education. I feel much more confident discussing builds and prices as a result. I am very appreciative of the time and experience that you all have shared here.
I will let the forum decide if it is hot for sale---it is a rare 991---

Rare? Not so much. Funky build for sure... Like two different people selected options on this one, neither with a cohesive plan other than spending Turbo amounts of money on a non-Turbo 991.
I can see a non-performance oriented buyer going for the Targa, all that uber expensive extra leather and aluminum, deviated stiching, etc.
Then you get the performance oriented buyer who wants the manual, splurges on the powerkit, but neglects to order Sport Exhaust, Sport Chrono, PDCC (probably really nice on a top-heavy Targa), and/or SPASM?

Sadly no SPASM is available on Targa---would need to do PSE and aftermarket springs---Still not that many Targas available and most 991's are PDK's...Might be a just the right 911 for someone out there---
IMHO that Targa is going to sit a loooong time unless there is a big price drop. Yachting blue leather is not a popular interior color and as noted there are virtually no "drivers options" on the car. As noted a manual seems to indicate a drivers car but the build is all touring. I fuess only time will tell.

As an FYI to all, the X51 Powerkit comes WITH Sport Chrono and PSE. Bundled together just like we see on the GTS. Not listed as separate line items on the build sheet.
As mentioned, SPASM not an option on a Targa or Cab.
The biggest obstacle here?? The YACHTING BLUE interior. Will cost this seller greatly (-$$$$$) on resale. Other than that, a nice car.
At this price point, not the market for it here unless it was $115K or less.
With low miles and only two years old, I think that Targa 4S is priced appropriately - with no CPO, I would ask ~ $125k, though. I don't mind the yachting blue interior on that car. Powerkit 4S Targa with Sport Technos...me likey! Not a fan of the clear lights, though (YMMV, also this can be changed) and why pay all that for deviated stitching that doesn't "pop" - you can hardly see it in the photos (hopefully it would show up better in person). Silver seatbelts are classy add, though.
Give it another year (and the ensuing drop in price) and it will probably be HFS-worthy with a substantial discount over original MSRP.
As a side note, to clarify for some. The COV's (change over valves) and just small electronic switches that plug in. Not mechanical in any way.
Your 997.1 to 997.2 example is a good one. A good example of my comment that the 991.1 will be the favorite child of the 991 generation which will be unique as all .2's have been favored on most models.
it can happen. Many prefer the mezger engines of the 997.1 turbo for example but have to like the manual.
