In the Netherlands the 7th unsold 992 T has arrived pretty close to my hometown. It’s the first 992 T with the T-package lizard green interior! So if it has arrived already tomorrow at the dealership I will be going there to make 61 pictures again for you guys.

The PDSL+ has the cornering lights and the automatic high beam function. But the biggest difference most don’t know is the PDLS+ has the full silver/chrome ring around the headlight. The normal one doesn’t. The normal one has a white plastic inlay on top (just why??) while the PDLS+ has the black plastic inlay on top. I needed to chose between white plastic or the silver/chrome circle around the headlight. I chose to save €1100. But am pretty pissed about the looks. That’s the reason Porsche wants you to go for the full black matrix.


@Macboy can you please see and document the floor mats ?
what's special about them vs non t package ?

Thanks!

@Cartod I still kick myself for not buying a 964 back in 2005 when I was heavily searching. I didn't want to spend the 25 grand for a decent one.

Is the road noise you describe tire related? Wind? Engine/exhaust drone? How would you compare it to a Base or S 992?

thank you.
I haven’t done that many miles yet, but it is actually slightly quieter than my 991.2 GTS was… the engine and exhaust note is pleasant but doesn’t have the pop and burble the GTS had; and as for road noise, I must say I can’t really tell if I’m being honest… I still bloody love it though!

Just to make it sure: both PDLS versions have that (ugly) silver internal element. So it’s just about the chrome ring or the white upper part.

Bad and good news.

Bad news: the 992 T with lizard green interior has not arrived at the dealer yet.

Good news: the press car has arrived in the Netherlands !!!!

Here are the pictures (not from me unfortunately) of the 992 T from the main Porsche importer. This will be the press car and demo car in the Netherlands.

Whilst all dealers have ordered dealer spec 992 T in more “basic colors” and PDK and rear seats the press car is in flashing Guards red with race tex elements and a manual and the rear seat delete. Gotta love that! I don’t understand the lack of carbon roof on the press car however.

I see red stitching on the steering wheel and shift boot! Hopefully green T package is the same.

Red stitching is from the deviated stitching package which comes with stitching on the shifter boot and steering wheel. From every pick and video I've seen of the T interior package, they don't.

It's not, the Carrera T interior package doesn't include the wheel or the full doors, not sure about the shift boot.

Its just over half the cost of the bespoke stitch colour, but includes the striped fabric and changed colour seat belts.

The high gloss black Sport Design Package is looking pretty good with the deep contracts. Just annoying Porsche charges $2K more for high gloss black vs. matte black
