Genitian Blue is a great color.

It’s great. But that’s not what in this photo. I made this picture and posted it in another thread. It’s a black test mule, just colorized.

Agreed, it isn't going to come in cheap. I expect a $200k base price. There is also an "optional" sports exhaust and sport PASM that everyone is going to spec. Throw in FAL, some leather and maybe a few driver assistance/Burmester things and you are looking at $220k+ easy. The Turbo is going against a McLaren GT and up.

I was watching videos of the mule on the Nürburgring. You can definitely hear a difference in exhaust sound between cars with the quad-pipes (which sound like 991.2) and two oval pipes (which sound like a somewhat more civilized GT2 RS, I guess this is the PSE). A must-have option in my book, although I think I prefer the look of the quad-pipes.

FAL wasn't really needed on previous Turbos but I guess now it might when speccing the Sport Performance package (supposedly 20mm lower suspension)?

Since my 992 C2S IS a twin turbo, I would think that implies that the new 992 911TT NO longer stands for Twin Turbo but Turbo'd Turbo, right? ;-)
