Hi! Took delivery of my '23 TTS two weeks ago. Needless to mention, I'm thoroughly enjoying every bit of it. I'm from India, btw Have learnt a lot from this forum, so, just wanted to share my excitement with you all! Just in case anyone's curious; the car has been through ceramic coating, and will get PPF in the next two weeks or so. Apart from that, it has 7mm spacers, front and rear, from Bonoss installed on stock PASM suspension, a JCR cat-less race exhaust (non-valved, non-silenced), and a front lip, side-skirts, and spoiler lip from Maxton Design. Cheers!

Reason: Addition
As far as I know, you are not supposed to put PPF over ceramic coating. Look into that.
Thank you, Sir! I am aware that it's a hit or miss, but, I kind of jumped the gun on the coating without giving it much thought. Regardless, I would still want PPF for the long term, even if it means having it redone. Thank you for your input once again

Someone with the mind and eye of an artist did this build. Gorgeous!
If I may ask, how is a car like this perceived in India?
I would have never thought blue with the red interior, but that shot with the doors open is lovely!
Is that Gentian Blue?
It is Gentian Blue, correct! I liked the contrast with the Crayon slightly more, but the GB is something else overall. I've wanted this combination for a very long time, now! Also, the yellow seatbelts and dials offer a nice pop to the interior

Humbled by your generosity, Sir! I most appreciate it, and I'm glad you liked my build
As regards your question; Porsche as a brand, is perceived to be a notch higher than the likes of Mercedes and BMW, and lower than other supercar marques, which, I guess, is true for most markets. The 911, in particular, does not attract the same reaction, or a lot of attention, in comparison to Lamborghinis, Ferraris, or McLarens. More often than not, it slips under the radar, and not many can differentiate between a Carrera and Turbo S. Even my Mustang draws more attention despite the fact that it's over 6 years old! So, as far as snob value, or 'supercar' level attraction is concerned, I think we all can agree that it's not even close (and I didn't buy it for snob value, in the first place). Of course, for enthusiasts and people who are more aware, it's a different story altogether, and it commands a lot of respect. It takes time for most people to believe, or digest, that it's a car worth 3.8Cr INR on-road (roughly USD 450,000) because that's basically Lambo or Ferrari territory. But!! Those cars are priced even higher, here! Hope this gives you an idea, and I'm open to discussing this further. Cheers
I think that is one great looking 911 Nicely done! I think the wheels, rear Porsche logo and window surrounds in chrome really work on your black car. Enjoy every mile!
