Meteor Grey/Carrera Red GTS Cab? If you can't afford it, don't ask.
Matching Oakleys? Priceless.
The whole package is really nice. Congratulations. You're going to love the GTS.

Meteor grey with carrera red is my dream combo (and you are absolutely right...the pics don't do justice to that gorgeous color). Well done. I'm assuming it was a custom order. In any case enjoy the beauty safely in good health for years to come.

I like it. Quite thick overall. There is a slightly plastic feel at the very bottom where the spoke connects with the carbon fibre ring, but otherwise excellent. I always found wood a bit cool to the touch, and this is not. This is a multifunction steering wheel, and there is a heat button. Still trying to figure out how it works.

Really amazing--drive it well. Now tell us, trading to a non-aspirated Carrera from a turbo is somewhat unusual around these parts. I realize the GTS is a special version, but what made you give up your turbo?

Welcome to the GTS crowd!
That color combination is abolutely striking. I fell in love with the white/black photos when the car was first announced, but now that I have it in those colors it seems slightly ordinary. You will not be seeing another car like yours coming down the street.
Now go drive it. I've put just over 2K miles on mine in 1 month, including 2 DE's and an autocross. I LOVE this car.

The red with CF is a nice combo. The photos are not true to the colour of the red interior, which is much more toned down in person.
I didn't want too much red, and I have deviated carpeting (which interestingly includes the areas of the doors, and the posterior part of the console.
The console is actually carbon fibre as well. Steering wheel, illuminated door sills, console, brake, gearshift, and trim across cupholders is all CF.

I agree with your comment about the how the Carrera Red appears in pics. Most of the pics I have seen are over exposed, causing the red to appear too bright relative to the actual color. Carrera Red has a touch of cranberry in it which makes it a deeper, darker color. It is very rich looking. I am envious!

Awesome. I just ordered the same exact color combination about a month ago in a GTS cab as well. Seeing yours makes me even more excited about it. I knew that combo would look great. (I was almost at white, and my wife gently pushed me to meteor great and red.)
