I wish you could get the black window trim with the heritage pack.. for reasons I won't divulge until I get my car order confirmed. AT this point, my dealer and I are talking about ordering the black window trim from a GT3 and swapping it out. The other option is to wrap that trim, but me being OCD, I want it to be real black trim.

I would like a PTS colour with the standard black interior PLUS the PORSCHE script on the side but that seems to not be possible via the configurator, even though the black launch press car has it.

Im assuming I can buy PORSCHE script as a spare part and have it fitted myself?

No issue on the US configurator…

Stickers don't show up in the configurators of some countries but it doesn't mean the car won't be equipped with them. Consult with your SA.

Really wish they had Goodwood green as PTS…

Torn between San Marino and Iris as alternate option…

Anyone see either in person?

C.J. Ichiban

San Marino is more colorful and I think a much better color to put on the car but both of them are not that far away from Gentian

So that we can have a better discussion of the actual car and not values... wondering thoughts on the following:

1. Why would Porsche not have planned it out ahead of time to make sure PTS was available for their halo, "best ever 911" car? I get there's a huge demand for PTS, but this is their most expensive 911 and some of us are in PTS purgatory. Also the existing colors that are non-PTS... not the strongest palette.
2. Exhaust - any reason they didn't go with a full titanium exhaust? Seems like there is some weight savings there. I'm probably going to get an Akra full system for mine (did this for my 991.2 Touring)
3. This rear suspension shelf in CFRP intrigues me. What is it?
4. How easy is it to get these magnesium wheels painted in neodyme/gold? Of course, CXX would be an option if it was available, but sounds like it is not.
5. Roll cage for US cars. I had a OEM titanium roll cage setup in my touring because I track (I take all my cars to the track at one point another - not going for all out lap times, just going to see how my cars feel at the limit all day), and I prefer having a 6 point if I'm driving near 10/10ths of my ability. I guess we would have to get the CF one as 992.1 gen doesn't have an OEM titanium cage.

Anyone see their ST on MyPorsche yet? I saw my ST in the PTS color selected for a couple of days shortly after the commission # was assigned. Now, it's gone from MyPorsche and PTS seems to be in question. Odd.

neoprufrok

Odd. I have a commission number, but I'm at V110 due to the PTS status being in question as well. So I never saw it on MyPorsche.

regarding 2) there is an interview with Andreas kicking around on youtube where he state its the 992 gt3rs exhaust and they used ultra thin aluminium which was actually lighter than titanium

WernerE

I saw it briefly on My.Porsche after receiving an email from Porsche asking me to track my ST during the production process. It's not there now, so I guess I'm in PTS purgatory with you.

Agree and San Marino also being a BMW color you see much more frequently. To me it's really bright.

Diablo Dude

Because in reality, Porsche doesn't really want to take the time to offer PTS.
That's why they keep raising the price every year . . . to see if they can somehow cut demand for it.

Diablo Dude

Yup.
San Marino Blue.

WernerE

Gentian looks similar to the old Sapphire blue, both of which I dislike. Dark Sea Blue is a winner, as well as San Marino and Iris, probably because they're all quite a bit darker than the standard Gentian.
