Many small differences do equal a overall lighter and more responsive car. Best car I've driven for my needs.

Going to track this weekend for that comparison, as Ive taken all the others to the track as well. I know it’s not a “track car” but it’s the experience Im after.

The blue and white wheels glow in the sun. Im still pinching myself. I hope the people waiting patiently get their cars soon and enjoy in good health.


Beautiful! Color me envious for real.

Default Porsche S/T with Rear Seat Conversion

This could be the first Porsche S/T with a rear seat conversion. Happy to report first hand that Porsche really made great strides to lighten many usual parts found on a 992 GT3 or GT3RS to be considerably lightened. Parts may look similar to the untrained eye but are bespoke to the S/T. Phenomenal piece of kit!

The S/T cover is supplied as standard in the UK with Heritage Pack, so i would be surprised if not elsewhere in Europe/ROW.

im sorry, but buckets with rear seats look like a death trap. Also, how does one get anything yet alone anyone back there?’and if it’s a kid, how do they buckle themselves into a rear booster and why?

Ideal for kids old enough to be out of boosters and small adults. Same as any other small 911 rear seat

Default Rear seats

In a real emergency I would hate to have to get anyone out of the back.

holy crap, it’s like they copied my comments here off RL! I have been saying the exact same thing almost word for word here on RL about the 992 GT3 for years now. And I agree about the S/T, the 10 days spent with mine on ED were absolutely wonderful, what a great car.
