the S/T would have to be different. I saw a heritage shore blue S/T at Sonderwunsch on the 20th and do not like that color in person. Out of the standard colors I'd do Ice Gray or Gentian. Black looks way too plain.
Gentian is a stunning color, especially with dark silver wheels.
I have an incoming car with black interior and Mamba Green stitching. Love that combo. Had it photoshop'd.

There's something about black with silver accents in both interior and exterior that suits the ST perfectly to my eye.

For me, the Heritage interior works better on the SC rather than on the ST. I'm basically trying to order the Heritage exterior with a black interior, using both PTS and CXX to do so.

To me, it had to be heritage with very classic pts color, keeping the config under wrap until I get it

gentian would look great, esp with light silver wheels. For ref this is current GT4 in that config that I own.

I agree! And went with this combo for my GT3.


Black Calipers a no brainer in this configuration.

This does not seem like a "date night" car and if I could option it with exposed door cards and floorboards, I would.

Andreas said that they were comfortable removing nearly all of the sound deadening because they don't expect customers to go on long cruises to distant tracks but instead drive for the sake of driving. The type of drive where you get in the car and don't get out of the seat unless you need fuel or have arrived back at your starting point.

On top of that, many reviews at this point mention this car is already somewhere between loud and deafening. I personally would not want to dilute that ethos with a mismatched interior / package attempting to make the car far more luxurious than it will ever be.

to each his/her own, disagree. This is a car that reflects Porsche heritage and needs to be driven hard but the lux workmanship needs to be appreciated and it should reflect the total out of pocket of $600k ish it’s going to cost. I’m not in your camp and have not configured my car that way, but I respect your opinion.

$600k?!? Yikes, mine is 1/2 that. Guess I skimped on the options list

Not even close to being in my wheelhouse but I’d take Gentian Blue with the black/GT silver stitching/carbon interior, dark silver wheels, dark silver “PORSCHE” on the doors (no roundels or numbers), the “black” package, and have the perfect, under the radar modern 911.

having said that Blood Orange interests me greatly these days.

you’ve gotta do the math, msrp with PTS, heritage + options etc, plus ADM, plus mandatory 1 year lease and then the financing starts, plus taxes and other stuff (PPF etc etc).

Even with all that mine will be right around $400k. $600k is only if you paid a $200k+ ADM. I'm sure some guys are but most are not

are you suggesting most people didn’t pay ADM? That is hard to believe, I’d love to see the stats. You/those people must have brought ADM amount of biz to them. Not sure where are you located but I am in the california San Francisco Bay Area..the allocations disappeared in literally 5 minutes with people begging to pay 200k+ ADMs..yes things are that crazy here

330 sticker, 80k lease. ~410 without adm. Now wait one year and that’s when the fun will really start. I think the one year lease is only going to make things worse. Those who paid adm will have a reserve for 600k + on BaT.

One year coincides closely with the release of the 992.2. If the hybrid thing is real coupled with the fact that no new gt cars are being made in 24 (supposedly) then hype will build spring/summer and demand should go back up.

One thing the s/t will do is prop up Tourings and manual gt3’s. Especially if the hybrid happens.
I don’t need anymore power which the hybrid will add. Content with current motor. I just really want the clutch and gearing of the s/t. 😫🤞🏽
