Yes but the fact they are actively promoting it for GT3. I know they said that they want to produce more PTS for GT3....but this is great that it's actively being promoted.

I think it’s great too if they adjust the price downward to reflect the higher possible volume

Haha true..I was going to say something about pricing. But didn't because a second thought was they won't drop prices because it'll sell anyway. Question is will they raise prices, went up from 991.1 to 991.2.

We shall see soon enough. All fun choices to make.

I felt embarrassed for her. She recognized the faux pas immediately.

Being live certainly has it's stressful moments, but all good fun in the end!

Her response to AP’s explanation that the Shark Blue was inspired by a yacht he saw in Sardinia was comedy gold.. “Glad the yacht wasn’t orange then!” ....no, that was the launch colour of the 991.1RS..

It' s a bit confusing depending on which HP measurement is being referenced. Here is the conversion calculator from metric to US.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that and sighed thinking "she didn't know about lava orange launch color I guess?"

Also, my hunch is that the yacht he's referring to is Skyfall,... color matches perfectly.

Also Lava Orange is available.....so another slight. I think I counted 3.

If referring to the 991 3RS, I think that can be forgiven because that's history at this point and she's not into Porsche. Hired for whatever reason. Worse is that Lava Orange is a colour available on the 992 GT3.

I looked up her Instagram, seems to do automotive stuff or at least promote automotive, whatever her knowledge is of cars. I thought it odd given her instagram that she didn't know a 911 engine is in the rear and it always has been which makes it a little worse. The other 2 flubs, well I guess that's just saying the wrong thing or sharing too much of her personal opinion in a launch event.

Next time, some one please sail a Carmine red yacht in front of AP!!

On a serious note, why would they drop Carmine red? Would have contrasted so well with all the black highlights. Hoping they add it back in time for the Touring.
