For such a heavily spec'd car, BTW, I'm surprised how many blanks there are in the center console. Kind of wish they'd provide assignable buttons in the blanks.

It's crazy isn't it ?

Unfortunately the 991.2 got stuck in 'twilight zone transition land'. The 991.1 had a button center console. The 991.2 - most of the console buttons ended up attached to the steering wheel. The upcoming 992 ? Have a look at the new Panamera to show where the transition twilight zone leads. Buttonless and fingerprints

Beautiful GTS !

It's a slightly different version of your car. Man, I love the way they look. The GTS is just a great package! Have fun and drive in good health.

(shame to see the DBS go!)

Looks great, congratulations!

I have a question about how your interior was specced. I see that there is still Alcantara on the lower part of the dash, steering wheel, and the arm rest but you have leather seats. Was it ordered as the "Leather Interior in Black incl. GTS Interior Package" or was it "Leather Interior in Black" as it is worded on the configurator? I've seen a couple of new GTS interiors like this and wondered if the standard leather option deleted all of the Alcantara or not. Hope that question makes sense.

Yes this was "(GY) Leather Interior in Black incl. GTS Interior Package"; I did not spec any additional extended leather/trim options -- this is what you get with GY. If there was an option to do the contrast stitching, I'd have added it, but as it is you can't do the Leather + GTS Interior package; it forces you to the regular leather interior in black.

I went with this because I wanted the cooled seats (0 cost option); they're great in hot DC summers.

Here's my build, in case it helps anyone. Only thing I would have added was Voice Control - a 0 cost option that we don't see on the configurator, but the SA can tick off at customer request. I didn't realize it wasn't on by default. No biggie, but mildly annoying.

Beautiful build. The interior looks great with the red stitching.

What dealer did you use and how was the experience?

The red stitching is another member's Targa; he photobombed my thread lol.

I agree it looks fantastic -- mine doesn't have deviated stitching as it wasn't possible with the leather cooled seats.

Bought from Porsche Silver Spring; overall experience was great - and they were the only dealership in the area (and beyond) willing to discount a GTS build. I got it for 3.5% off after talking to several dealerships, as well as a personal friend of mine who's high up in Porsche USA.
