Default I must be crazy!

I just got an allocation for a 2018 Targa GTS, so I am trading my Targa 4 after only 6 months. Now I have to pick the colour, Carmine Red or Guards Red?

Carmine red would be my enthusiastic vote.

My GT4 was Carmine Red.


Carmine all day, every day. Best red on the planet.

Okay, it's unanimous, Carmine Red is what I was thinking to go with anyway.

Here is the Porsche code:

I think I also went too crazy with options. I'm in Turbo territory. Damn CDN dollar.

carbon Sportdesign mirrors? Sweet.

Personally, I'd add rear wheel steering, illuminated carbon sills and ventilated seats. Of course it's hot where I live.

Should be awesome either way.

RW steering, it's not an '89 Prelude . I have ventilated seats on my current Targa, and living in Canada I don't use it that much. if I add that I have to get rid of the Alacantara seats, which I like for it's hardcore sports component. With illuminated sills with the options I'm getting I had to draw the line somewhere.

Adding rear wheel steering and PDCC with spasm are the two options I would order on a 991. My 2 cents.

The car will be gorgeous anyways...

Thanks everyone. I will track the car maybe 2-3 times per year. Is rear wheel steering that much better on the track? It would probably make no difference to me on the street.

Does anyone know what the standard visors on the Targa GTS are made of? On the 3D configurator it looks like some cheap cloth weave. Is it vinyl that looks like leather? Should I go with alacantara? Thanks.
