Just kidding. It’s kinda strange. Reflects off light easily. Agree, it’s a good look.

I’m really loving the T so far. Besides gearbox, brakes, handling, cornering, etc. Also, having had several very powerful engines….I can already sense this motor is extremely capable. Lastly, I’ve driven it very little so far (been on business trip) but exhaust is already starting to liven up with the burbles, etc. Only the audio sucks which can easily be fixed to a reasonable level in a clean way. Have some ideas. Biggest disappointment presently is holding back the revs to redline during break in!

Just messing. Yes, it does.

For me, it was a must. I used to be a DJ prior to getting a real job….so accustomed to the nightclub look, ha. The other must was a sunroof since I’m originally from a beach town in CA. My roof is almost always open with the heated seat on if colder outside. I also noticed I can hear the exhaust better with it open.

A PLEA FROM ME🙏🙏
All, you will have noticed that the Porsche share price has dropped a bit recently, in spite of the price increases. This has hurt me financially.
I’m struggling to put food on the table for my family.
Could I ask that more of you copy #Targa32 and order a 2nd T and those of you that haven’t yet locked your order to add more options, the more expensive the better.
Thank you in advance👍👍

For me it also was a must actually. But to be honest Porsche did a quit terrible job here. Just put in some lights in empty spaces. Unlike BMW and Mercedes who actually did some effort in adding some led strips etc making it a real ambiance. The straight lines design of the 911 had some great opportunities there. Being ripped of made me not adding that option for €595.

Looks great! Glad I’m not the only sucker who thought that ambient lighting for $500 is a good deal haha

I’m definitely keeping ambient lighting. The interior is a black void and needs something.

I assume this functionality is the same as my old Taycan, where there is a “Dynamic” option for the colors? That was my preference, it changes the colors to match the album artwork on the current song you are playing. Works with CarPlay (Pandora and Spotify). You actually get more colors that way than the predefined colors, but you can’t pick them yourself.

My SA said the same, but wasn’t sure if the functionality is still the same. I initially added it because I thought the car came without any interior light as stock. (Knowing that everything is an option with Porsche, I thought that might be the case)

What does Porsche do to/with your car at the “local port of entry” - step 9 of 11 in Track Your Dream. This is the last step before step 10, transport to the dealer?

I’m sure it’s been asked before but does anyone know if the 992 T comes with dynamic engine mounts?

My 991.2 Carrera T didn’t have them, and I can’t find anything on the Porsche website.

Hey, check it for damage, repair and or report as necessary. They have extremely high-end body shop facilities there that are considered an extension of the factory. If all is good, they clear it for transport.

The quoted 385 PS / 450 Nm must be absolute minimums, worst case scenario numbers.
Maybe someone will tune their car and will do a "before" run on the dyno, but I reckon the numbers are close to 400 PS and 500 Nm. On the 991.2 T, Litchfield measured around 15 bhp more than the official number (365 bhp -> 375-385 bhp), on several cars that were tuned by them.
No intention whatsoever to tune mine, 385 or 400 PS is more than enough, love to be basking in that aural ambience and stir the gasoline with that nice short shift lever.

Yes, I am in Germany.
Nope, haven't heard of them until now, but also, I wouldn't have because I am not quite someone from their customer pool.
They have 20+ 5* reviews on Google (DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited)
