Order was placed May 1 and I took delivery September 7. So far the only mods I’ve done are PPF and Ceramic coating. I cannot believe how wonderfully comfortable this car is. My first one was black because I didn’t get to order it. I bought it off the lot. I like black but it’s not for me. I finally got an allocation at MSRP so I ordered this one. My favorite colors for these type of cars are white, gray and silver. After doing much research and visiting many dealerships, I decided on GT silver metallic. Then it painstakingly took me weeks to decide on the interior. The stitching is guards red and the seats are black and Bordeaux red. The seatbelts are Bordeaux red also. I am not going to tune this one like I did the black one because I plan on keeping it for a while and I don’t want to mess up the warranty. I do you think I’m going to add a dash camera and possibly some laser jammers and radar detectors like i did on the black TTS. For now I’m just going to drive it every second I have a chance. It’s not a daily, but I will use it all weekend every weekend. Let me know what you guys think of my color choices.
How do you like the wheels? I think having them silver is a whole lot better in terms of maintenance. Black wheels kind of suck and they show scratches. Those wheels are my favorite.

I thought about this long and hard because the pictures on the build website really don’t tell even half the story so when I built the car on the Porsche website, I was having difficulty deciding. I decided on all silver wheels because we have a professional paint shop here in the Tampa area that can paint them black if I change my mind. Look at the picture of my avatar. Those wheels were silver also. So I knew I was safe either way. Now that I have the car there’s no way I’m changing. I think the silver wheels look awesome on this car. Once again, these pictures really don’t do this car justice. You really have to walk up to it from 30 feet away to appreciate how well everything is balanced. At least in my opinion I mean. As far as cleaning goes, you’re right. Silver wheels stay cleaner at least to the eye. Although they are Ceramic breaks so there’s not much brake dust.
Congratulations - Daddy 911 - King of the Road. My July 2023 4 GTS Cab is GT silver and also ppf front and ceramic all over, including wheels and great for hiding dirt and imperfections.
Thanks for the interior shots. I almost went with the deviated seats so this is cool to see. Enjoy her! I’m biased but you have great taste. GT rocks on these cars.

Awesome to hear...they really need to fix the configurator. At least for me the deviated seat centers doesn't even show...and no 3D function like they used to have.
TTS is a great car. Your exterior spec looks great, very classic with a touch of carbon flair. Interior does not look good imo and would have been far better with all black and stitching accents for color. Also the red is out of place with the yellow calipers. I would consider having the calipers painted black or red. I suspect that interior will be rough on depreciation and you have a hard time selling it when that times comes (it almost always does no matter what people say about forever cars) Not trying to be mean but you asked….

i’m not sure who you’re talking to. But if you are talking about my build, I’ve never seen a more incorrect statement than what you wrote. My interior is remarkably conservative, and my dealer said it would be incredibly easy to sell. I wanted yellow, stitching, and red seats and they wouldn’t let me do that. black seats by themselves are freaking boring in my opinion. Bordeau seats are incredibly popular. I could easily sell my car for over 300 K inside of 10 minutes. I won’t be doing that though. Thanks for your input.
@Patton250 My interior is the same as yours. Exterior is chalk. I agree with you that the Bordeaux adds some pop to the interior. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
You’ll see. Bookmark this and Repost with your sale once the day comes. Black with red inserts is not a good look and will sell poorly. I’ve spec’d multiple 911 turbo S coupes and cabs in the last 10 years including the 992. Obviously it’s your car so get what you like but you’re fooling yourself to think that two tone interior will get a nice premium. Oh and 300k for a new coupe in that spec. lol. ZERO chance of that unless you are talking Canadian dollars…lol. Now I know you are delusional!

I will agree with the OP. I think you're wrong about the seats. But 300k might be a stretch.
