Default 992 GT3 Touring Waiting Room

Based on today's release, who else is opting for the touring package? The new GT3 winged version is too busy for me and I was wanting a touring anyway.

Here's some options I'm hoping for

-Sports design package? Hoping they have other options for the front and rear bc a touring does not need all that downforce the winged GT3 requires.
-Back seats maybe??

Let the wait begin!

Sounds like you folks need regular 911’s.

I’m checking in the waiting room. Only thing I want in the touring are back seats. If the touring doesn’t get back seats then I’ll go with the regular full winged version!

I have had a deposit down on a Touring for two years at my dealer. I am first in his queue.

Hoping Touring to be a GT3 that is more dailyable/streetable and hence more convenience options that Porsche has available in their 911 lineup:

- Back seats
- Surround view cameras
- Ventilated seats on 4way/18way sofas

Also looking forward to hearing more. Sounds like it won't be available right away.

So have I but for a winged GT3. I don't have MSRP in writing though and hoping they don't play games with me. What are your thoughts on that? Are you expecting to pay ADM?

IMHO, the Touring will be the way to go with the 992 GT3. The new rear wing is just a bit too much for me. The exterior feels a bit more like an in between of a GT3 and GT3 RS.

But I doubt we will see an option to spec a Touring model until at least end of summer. The live event today definitely made it seem that they are in no rush to discuss it and seem to be more focused on making PTS a reality by summer time.

Some of us prefer the driving experience of the GT cars, enjoy more subtle exterior styling, and don’t really care about lap times.

I’ve enjoyed my winged 991 GT3 but would prefer a Touring if given the option for this new generation.

Just put my deposit down today at MSRP. My dealers GM is a real stand up guy and takes care of the locals.

I have zero idea what I’ll end up ordering but he said if I go winged GT3 expect delivery in about 12 months based on the list.

if back seats are an option in the Touring then I’ll wait for that. And definitely manual.

Agree. See the thread I started......992 GT3 is RS.

If they continue this design language in the future, then the only GT car I will consider would be a Touring.
