Zero discount, mostly. I imagine it will be after they can be found on the lot before any real discounting is possible.

I got 6% on mine. Trouble is, I probably won't see it till August.

Is yours confirmed?

Most importantly what color?!
Yes I'm confirmed sir.

I selected Ultra Violet!

Waitaminute you can pick it? I wasn't sure if it would be an RS exclusive color.

I have it and love it. Zero regrets it's the best purple.

You posted on another thread regarding the 7 speed. I have it in my new c2s and like it, you only used 1-6 I can barely find seven so I never use it. I've been hoping the bring the new 6spd over but no such luck.

I love the purple. Thank you for the 7 speed manual comment. I have trouble letting go of having a Porsche with a manual but the pros of the PDK outweigh any reservations I have switching over to "automatic"

not yet approved for the 991/718.




Apparently, from what you tell us, your dealer
confirmed with PCNA/PAG that 'Ultraviolet'
has been approved as PTS for the .2 991 GTS
& possibly any/all 991/718 models. This is
the first I have heard of that color approved
for a non 991 gt3 RS.

Can you provide for us here in Rennlist
with documentation that 'UV' has indeed
received PTS approval on the 991/718
model for the 'record'?


'UltraViolet' is one of the most stunning
colors ever formulated by Porsche for
the 911. And it's the most desirable
color for many (especially long-term
collectors) in the current 991 gt3 RS.
Many would be interested in knowing
for sure that it can be ordered on the
regular 991/718 models as PTS. Thanks.

Saludos,
Eduardo

I see the price of PDK on the GTS dropped down to $3720 on the configurator today. Down from $4820 I think.

I just noticed this on the Google News feed: http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-advi...-911-gts-51420

Geez! Our Aussie brethren are really getting reamed on this, even after consideration of exchange rates! I guess this kind of thing is not news to the Australians here, but man, this sucks.

2017 Porsche 911 GTS list pricing
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe - $279,000
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe - $295,100
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet - $300,500
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet - $316,600
Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS - $316,600

Eduardo, the only confirmation I have is my dealer invoice and verbal confirmation that the color is available. This verbal confirmation also came from 2 other dealers. They also gave me a time frame of 51 days for paint. I cannot tell you how much I love this color. It'll be my pseudo GT3 RS

Ring: My only piece of advice is to make sure
you confirm with 'Porsche Exclusive' in Atlanta
or LA that 'Ultra Violet' has been approved for
the 991/718 to avoid any disappointments
down the line. Assuming the PTS 'window'
is open for a particular Porsche model, the
time frame between order taken by PAG &
production of the same is usually 90 days.
And then there is shipping to the US, etc.
So keep that in mind too & double check
everything with 'Porsche Exclusive' for
YOUR peace of mind. And if you get it
all confirmed by 'Exclusive', please let us
all know here at Rennlist!

Eduardo
