Earlier in this monster thread, there were folks with more than 3 images... did that go away and now only 3 are "usual?"

Thanks!

ps - for those searching for manual "T,"s, there are 5 new and 2 pre-owned within 500 miles of Tampa for anyone looking. (Don't know how useful the Porsche site is in displaying only truly available cars?)

I received all three photos at one time. My T has not completed production and has been delayed until December 1 even though it is technically built. It is now not expected to arrive until mid January. 😞

As far as RAS, no point to remove it for weight savings if you've got all those other weighty options included. Only remove it based on what you want the car to feel like.
Yes, that's exactly why I skipped on ventilated seats. Not only do I not even use the ventilation feature in my Taycan and previous cars, it also removes the sport-tex seat centers and not to mention the 911 seat logos that are unique to the T.

I really like that 911 logo... even better when it's in red to sorta match my carmine exterior when ordered with deviated stitching package

I like what you said. To me it however was not a downside but a plus. I finally wanted a full black interior with black stitching. Usually I have contrast stitching. For that reason I also love the piano black inlays. But I wanted something to pop out so have the red seatbelts and chrono and tacho. I think it works brilliant with the otherwise black interior.

I especially like your Race-Tex (RT) options only on top. I have them as well, but I added the RT steering wheel and RT manual and RT armcrest as well. But I also like those to be in leather. Your choice makes sense, having part in leather (lower part) and having a part in RT (upper part). Like best of both worlds. Just make sure on the lower parts they are all the same. For that same reason never skip the RT sunvisors. It’s not true you are paying double. They don’t come in leather with the leather package. And about not noticing it: since you have the glass sunroof, you will definitely notice the RT roof lining and sunvisors.

I would just add the red tacho and red chrono personally. I would skip the ventilated seats as they completely change the T specific interior and you will also lose the 911 logo on the headrest.

The sport-tex is a big part of the reason I decided to keep the rear seat. If I do a harness bar and buckets for the track it can hibernate with the 18 ways.

Not bloated at all. I like that config.

My config is a bit more than yours 😀. April delivery for mine.

Nice, congratulations! I've always wanted a 911 but have never committed - until last week. I'd been checking my local dealer's website daily for a couple weeks until I noticed an incoming 911T manual. Called them up immediately, confirmed it was available, and paid the deposit. Anticipated delivery is 12/28/23. Not exactly spec'd the way I'd have done it -- has RS Spyder wheels and 18 way seats, neither of which I particularly need or want -- but otherwise great.

This seems particularly insane because I just took delivery of a 2023 BMW M2 (G87) in July and have been very tepid about it since. I preferred my 2021 M2C (F87) (manual) much more. The new M2 feels its weight and it's just...sterile. The tech/electronics are a bit much, and the materials -- though nice -- seem a little faux luxury. Objectively speaking its a very nice car, but I'm just not into it.

The only thing the 911T lacks that I would've spec'd is the FAL -- I'm sweating that a little bit. This will be my daily with a 4 y/o son (who will love it!) and getting him in and out will be a daily pain in the ***. Really just looking for someone to validate my judgment -- and assure me that my only regret will be not having snagged a 911 sooner.

You will love your car so much more than the BMW you have no idea. A real sportscar. 300kg less weight. You will understand it all soon.

No need for FAL in FL as you can see all sides of the State if you stand on your roof here; minimal dips and ducks. We do go to NC and I'm excited to road trip mine there in the Spring, and there are some greater curbs and cuts there, but nothing I'm too concerned about. You'll probably be OK without FAL if you accept the "under spoiler" is a consumable!

Your kid is going to love it (as will you). When mine were both younger than they are today, I folded them into the back of an i8 I picked up on Swap-a-lease for nearly 1/2 what they were leasing new for... to this day, it's the car ("Spaceship!") they both still talk about the most, and it's been over 5 years since she departed. Lots of "folding" of them was required, yet never a complaint. Strangely enough, they're both excited for the 911 to arrive next month even though they're much older. When the kids are little, they don't really care about how much room there is, but about the experience. The 911 should deliver that for your son is my bet. Enjoy in health and happiness!

Thanks so much -- really what I wanted to hear. I'm very much looking forward to sharing this experience with my boy. If my dad could've have afforded to do the same with me, he would have. I wish he was around to see it.

Been following for months now whilst I waited for my T allocation (after I put a deposit down in January) - not really expecting it to materialise and thinking I'd missed the boat.

Fast forward to August this year and I got my allocation, spec locked in October, got a phone call last week saying it was in build and this week it was on a boat... which subsequently I think docked at Sheerness today!

To top it off, the pics appeared today and it appears I've lucked out with Michelins too!

Quite a simple spec... Shark Blue, manual, slate grey T interior, rear seats, folding mirrors, PDLS+, surround camera, Bose (and a couple of smaller options), it's my first new car, first 911 and first Porsche for that matter, the plan was always for it to be a long term (dare I say it - maybe permanent) keeper. The only downside is I've had to get rid of my 2015 LR Defender 90 which just wont get driven now. Bursting with excitement is an understatement.

Wow - that looks incredible. How did you get pics of it in the build process? Mine is showing the "manufacturing process...is starting soon."

Great colour for a T and very well chosen options. You will love it even more than your high expectations.

Congrats! Looks like mine (U.S. spec), BUT you won the tire lottery! I got the P zeros and mine it still sitting idle (delayed) in Zuffenhausen.

Is there a way to reply and quote on Rennlist without showing their images again?

Anyway, Dan G above wonders if the lovely T will be a permanent addition to his garage.

I think lots of us should be asking that question, because ‘our era’ is ending.

ICE only, manual box, low weight, not an oversized smart phone ?
Soon these things will become unobtainable.

From next year in the UK the percentage of ICE cars a manufacturer can sell in the UK ticks down each year until it becomes zero in 2030.

Hug your T close.

Ditto. Good choice. Recently met a guy that bought the $300K gold Exclusive 911 Turbo S. He asked me to unlock my T so he could get a good look at the Sport-Tex seats….complimented them.
