My SA told me that all other 911s have this feature as part of the premium pkg and they dont order cars without it anymore, so when I told him I didnt want it he looked very "concerned" about what that would mean down the road lol... I dont care about the next guy, but I actually found the feature useful on track days coming out of blind corners into passing zones... sometimes its a good reminder on track to just give the other guy a little extra room.
I'm not getting it. My dealer doesn't care what/how people order cars AFAIK.
I was at my dealership today and looked at a GT4RS... carbon fiber. ohhhhh. purdy. Now I'm thinking about the CF roof for looks on my Python Green, and Ethos of the T 4lb reduction. lol. Plus the wow factor and conversation piece at Cars & Coffees as pointed out earlier. But is that worth $4k?
I plan on a custom over the top motorsport agate gray stripe too, but wouldn't do that over the CF roof.
High Gloss Black... I've learned my lesson with that. I stay away at all costs. What a PITA (Pain in the A$$).
Having high gloss back added for more $$$ on a low riding car, especially on parts of the car that have consistent contact with debris (front splitter, side skirts, mirrors, wheels, and rear side corner), is just asking for it.
High gloss black is the hardest paint color to paint correct and shows the most scratches and paint chips. No thanks.
It looks wonderful in the configurator but in person and the reality of living with it, is not my cup of tea. Respectfully. I lived with too many high-gloss vehicles and trim(on my previous 992) and have learned a life lesson on that.
I concur, had the gloss back sports design kit on my 718S, 23k miles and 18 months later the scratches and stone chips were clearly visible on the gloss Black trim.
Not much can be done other than replacing either.
This will be a daily driver Florida car, so a sunroof and ventilated seats are a must (for me). Other than those, I kept it fairly simple:
Black exterior, standard wheels
18 way seats
PDLS
LCA
Ambient lighting
Seatbelts Guards Red
Window trim gloss black

Sorry, genuine question, a little funny, not meant to be offensive. I like the idea of crack ventilation

Wow, 60 minutes to catch up on 5 days away from the thread.. It's good to see more practical builds and more talk on Ice Grey metallic.
I'm still flipping from one colour to another but wish they had more metallic choices.

Thoughts on CF roof?
I will selfishly encourage you to get the carbon roof! It looks fab and is totally in line with the Ethos! If I didn’t need to strictly adhere to a budget I absolutely would've selected it. I will be looking forward to pics of your T when it arrives, with or without the carbon roof! 🙂
Seeing some awesome “Ethos” inspired builds lately! 👍🏻
Im going to repeat myself though and say that the true beauty of the Ethos is that it can be anything you desire it to be!
Have a great weekend everyone
I have a hardback marketing book for the 991.2 T that I think captures the ethos pretty well. I believe this still applies to the 992 T. I like how they call out specifically this is not for the collector, but for the driver. I was impressed that the early 991.2 T press drives were done in the mountains with cars on winter tires.
^^^^^
This is exactly what I needed to see today! Thank you so much for posting this. I know the cynics will say it’s all marketing speak but I am buying into it! Hopefully a 992 version of that book will appear when the T starts arriving at dealerships.
Much appreciated! 👍🏻
Nice DD build! You forgot the $0 Storage Package that adds a net in the passenger footwell.
Unless you feel strongly about the 18 way seats, the 4 way seats have the same side bolsters and also allow for seat ventilation with perforated leather centers. You lose the lumbar adjustment and memory function. But if you're the only who'll ever drive the car, do you need seat memory?
For my DD 992 T, I'm specifying the full leather interior and a nice audio system (preferably Bose, but I'll take Burmester over base audio.)
Good catch! I’m making the following changes, based on feedback:
Storage Package
Color change from Black to Black Metallic
Removing window trim in high gloss black
Removing PDLS+
I currently have a white 991.1 - I like it, but black speaks to me. Have owned 6 black cars previously in Florida as well.
For those asking about the rear seats, my daughter (4) would personally eject you if anyone threatened her ability to ride in the 992…
Also I don't see a lot of people speccing the rear seat delete on their T's so I think that is moot.
The rear seat delete is standard. Only if you put the rear seats back in it’s seen as an “option”. So that’s why you don’t see this in the configs.

Good evening Mr Panic Don’t you have cameras on your phones in the US? Please go back and make those pictures instead of showing us those crappy configurator pictures. There really should only be one Race-Tex color available. If it would be real alcantara, it could be a bad batch. But it’s not. On all configurators it’s indeed called black Race-Tex. So probably the word “black” was just lost there.

Totally agree we would all be going crazy here!

I still think I will be the first here with my week 7 production. Delivery should be a week later. Pictures incoming…

My car was also meant as a demo, but I was granted that allocation with enough time to change the specs according to my (and your) needs.

Hold my beer. Here is a beautiful white 992 S with exclusive taillights. I have to say it looks stunning!

We all remember the best T ethos picture from the 991.2 T right ?

This is literally my desktop wallpaper! I loved how the early press photos were of the dirty cars being driven as intended. Fitting because I had a racing yellow 991.2 T as well....
Hé guys there is one important thing I forgot to share with you. Talking about nerdy details. Only relevant for people who want to order the Race-Tex roof lining. In my current 4S I have the Race-Tex roof lining but not the glass sunroof. I have noticed that the Race-Tex roof lining is almost not visible because it’s too dark in the interior. Despite the T ethos I have ordered the glass sunroof with this being an extra argument. With the glass sunroof the Race-Tex roof lining is way better visible.
Here is my picture which says it all because of the tons of natural light coming in. Hope it helps some of you in the decision making.
(And I think it also clearly shows why the sun visors in Race-Tex should not be forgotten.)
