PTS is still shown in the configurator, but I guess PTS slots are unavailable after MY23 ends? It's too bad because the press announcement shows a very pretty Gulf Blue T!

It also shows buckets, bose and a few other things that supply chain is sadly still going to kiss goodbye for 2023... fingers crossed the next month or so allows them to add some things back. all we can do is wait and see. Im heading in to my dealer today or tomorrow to make last adjustments to build before freeze date. they have a bunch of emails into the PCNA rep to get updates clarification on lots of this threads questions so i will update as soon as I can

Oh, I thought you were talking about the configurator showing LWB.

Absolutely:

"Optionally, the 911 Carrera T can be ordered with 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus or the particularly sporty and light Full Bucket Seats, the latter of which feature seat centers in RaceTex. The deleted rear seats can be re-equipped at no charge, though not in conjunction with carbon fiber Full Bucket Seats. "

I'm not sure the press release ever showed Bose. I wish!

Thanks for posting. Somehow I don’t think Porsche had Matt in mind when it came up with the lighter-weight T package.

Obviously Matt is a big Boxster Spyder fan, since he ordered one for himself, and I am a big fan of his... But I am a little surprised to hear him talk about the 911T vs. The Boxster the way he does... I think its pretty obvious that there are a lot of Porsche fans (myself included) that want a 911 over a Boxster for reasons that don't necessarily add up financially or from a strict performance standpoint. I've owned caymans and 911s and while I completely agree that the boxster/cayman platform probably handles better in situations and once you get into the GT4/Spyder level its hard to deny their capability... but I still just have always and will always lust for the 911 shape and what it represents. I'm willing to pay more and possibly even be giving up some added performance because I want a 911 with a stick shift and all the lightweight performance options (within my budget which happens to be the T variant). the 911 is just more badass and sometimes you have to make decisions that make you happy vs what "makes sense". Life is too short to always be so practical, and I guess that is precisely what Porsche was hoping enough people would feel to produce this car in the first place. So please, take my $$ Porsche haha

The world wide configurator showed buckets for a while.

Re: Bose... my SA told me this morning that as of MY2022, Bose is standard equipment on all Porsche products and that it's no longer displayed as an option on the T build because it's included. Can someone confirm?

PTS is unavailable on any model, period, for MY2023, at least according to my dealer.

That would be a nice surprise when the car shows up if true.


EDIT: No mention of Bose on the audio and communication section of the tech specs on the PCNA website.

That would make me quite happy and probably what Porsche should have started doing 15 years ago instead of the basic base offering.
