Here's the funny thing -- I pride myself on picking up the nuances of different car models when they change subtly, and calling them out to myself when I first start seeing the new ones on the street.

But I swear, if I saw one of these on the street I don't think I'd know it was a 991.2, and I own a 991.1 GTS! It really carries forward the theme pretty much uninterrupted. Even so far as depicting it in Carmine Red, as far as I can tell.

One less radiator to worry about! Hard to tell bit it doesn't like the new sport design rear spoiler.

New Sport Design front bumper looks to be less of a driveway problem.. Looks less aggressive than the 991.1 GTS front bumper.

i'm pretty sure you've seen the SD spoiler already but just in case you haven't seen it yet.

First 2 pics are the .2 GTS and the last 3 are the new SD package on a .2S. Also notice that the front spoiler lip on the GTS is unpainted and on the SD package it is painted in body color.

The black exhaust tips make the rear look better / less Audi TT like.

Just in case you missed it in another thread, dealers in Europe will receive GTS pricing details early January 2017. First deliveries late March/early April.

I just ordered my GTS convertible here in Germany today, no price list yet and few details, official orders will be taken starting Jan, delivery April/May. I had to order a C2 S convertible as a place holder until the official release date, then I get switched over to the GTS

Don't think it's the bumper. Overall, the car just looks like it's sitting high, like a PASM car rather than a SPASM car.

Does anyone have the exact language (translation from German into English) that was posted on the German Porsche configurator, before it was taken down? The reason for the question is this: As I recall, in the parts list for the X51 Power Kit for the 99.1 Carrera S the third radiator and ancillaries were listed. I'm not certain about this, but I do believe I recall it. If the 991.2 X51 Power Kit mentions nothing about a third front radiator, we should be able to feel more certain that the Carmine Red cars in this thread do in fact represent the 991.2 GTS. On the other hand, if the third radiator is listed in the 991.2 Power Kit........it would then seem that we are not looking at the .2 GTS.


Quick Reply: 991.2 GTS'es are coming as 2017 MY, 3.0L tt
