Default 18 years to get into a Turbo S

In 2006 I got my first porsche, a brand new Cayman S, first gen, first year run. I'm a fan of curves on a car (and women) in the right places. At the time the Cayman had more curves than a 911. Drove it around for a good 5 years before parking it in my garage due to my country's (Kuwait) deteriorating roads. It took a real beating poor thing I realized the hard way that spending on a daily driver in Kuwait was money down the drain. I decided no more sport / low profile tires, and moved into mainstream SUVs. Fast forward to nowadays, moved to Dubai and I love the roads here and figured its time to back into get into a Porsche ...and boy does the 992 Turbo s have curves (I researched and test drove most of the 992s, the turbo s coupe was the one for me). Took me 6 months to find one with what I was looking for. Long story short ... here it is... right before the 992.2 announcement

- 2024, under 1,000km (win!)
- Exterior: GT silver (not a lot of people like the color, but I love it - my Cayman was of a similar hue of silver) Win!
- Interior: Heritage cognac - win!
- German spec (got issues with Porsche account and Apple car play issues in Dubai, if anyone has tips please share)
- Find it on insta @SingingTurbo

From what I can see in your pics, I have an identical car (except that its UK RHD)!

Mine is GT Silver with Heritage Interior, painted Sport Design kit, Exclusive wheels, Burmester, painted side intakes etc. It's a great combination!

Almost got a turbo (no s) gentian blue with heritage it was on order by the dealer with delivery within 30 days....but I couldn't go through with it because I wasn't too sure about gentian blue - i never saw one in the wild ... and you know...can't go by online photos. No regrets tho ...and i'm yet to see a gentian blue 911 in the wild.

Congrats.

Only thing nicer than your new Turbo S might be your photography.

Well done, sir.

Enjoy in good health.
