The only option missing is good taste.

Seriously though, the wheels in that colour... urgh, whatever floats your boat I guess. The painted PCM + air vent slats along with the carbon fiber trim and GTS comms package is just wtf crazy too.

Aside from those 'options' the car is super ridiculously awesome...

This came up a couple weeks ago in the "Hot for Sale" thread. All this car needs is a better OE wheel. Sold.

Rear view mirror covered in leather? Can't remember for sure if that is an option.

A McLaren 570S starts less than $2k more than this GTS. Beautiful color, but the PTS blue wheels make it almost too bright for me to look at on my computer.

Speaking of which I got a chance to check out a 570S last night at McLaren Toronto... must say it is stunning in person, looks far better than in pictures. I think it looks even better than the 650S too.

At the 911 Turbo S price point it looks to be an extremely compelling package.

I'll preface my remarks by saying I'm old school when it comes to wheels and taillights. I prefer my taillights red and my wheels with some silver in them. The body color is great, but the overall appearance is hideous. I'm a manual driver, but if I had to buy a car with PDK (which I love in my Macan) for that kind of money I'd get a GT3 or Turbo and give up some of the options.

Someone will buy this overdone car and probably near the asking price. Blue wheels, silver wheels, it doesn't matter, that's one high priced GTS.

Replace wheels with silver. Replace all blue interior bits with carbon. Swap out clear tails for normal tails (I know some of you like clear tails but i hate them.) And put clear front side markers in and this car would almost be buyable. Still too crazy for me, but I could almost deal with it.

This car is missing the most awesome option available for the GTS: centerlock wheels.

I was kind-of liking the painted wheels...always wondered how'd that look, if I did it.

Too much blue in and on that car for me. Definitely couldn't do the wheels.

You really have to try hard to make a 911 that ugly and expensive.
This explains why things come with warning labels like "do not ingest paint. Warning: poison"
