I just got the confirmation this week.

I have no clue. I changed it three times with sales while ordering it.

The Porsche Agate Gray was my last three cars (2014-2923) and no longer available.

2014 Porsche 911

Next was the 2020 911:


2020 Porsche 911.

I wanted a Turbo:

2023 Porsche 911 3.8L Turbo

The new one is sent to Porsche so no last-minute changes. It is 14% more not including the two additional options. It has the old-style 3.8L with a dual turbo engine. No hybrid stuff.

Why not get the historic Guards Red color?

Looks quite sharp and congratulations. I hope your 2 month wait feels like 2 and not 20.

Many thanks, I can wait a long time.

--Porsche production is closed in August as the master technicians are all on holiday.
--The Porsche 911 Turbo guys are already familiar with the 3.8L Turbo so they do their same stuff (which is very reliable) as they return,

I say my new Guards Red Porsche 911 Turbo will be one of the last ones as we know it today. It's an old famous color with a big flat-six dual boosted 3.8L aluminum engine. it's warranted until 2028 with first service free.

Porsche stopped taking orders for Agate Gray Metallic in a new Turbo. I have no clue why.

I think Guards Red will look well in maybe the last non-hybrid flat-six 3.8L Twin big Turbo Porsche.

Here is my 2023 Porsche Turbo in Agate Gray.


The new one is in Guards Red with the black leather interior. It's the same wheels as well as a non-sunroof car. The old one has 6500 miles on it (first service done).

Bottom Line: I want a new 2025 Porsche 3.8L Turbo before Porsche goes all woke with EU rules.

Well done @VintageRacer - one cannot have too many TTS's . . . I also prefer your Agate Gray, but Red will be nice, and I greatly prefer a standard "classy" and timeless black leather interior, and of course no sunroof . . but I would have opted for the Carbon roof . . .

I don't use it in GA. It's too hot here most of the year. It also adds weight to the top of the car.

Aren’t all the 2025 911s going to be hybrid models?
