I agree, I hate the radiator inlet decals on the black car. It is too much..like the painted lips on 3.8s yuk!
Also thank goodness you can option black seats vs Red seats seen on other 4.0s.
What gives with the white car? Both sides have road rash/tire rash already.....look at the rocker panel .... cha ching

beautiful cars though .... wish I had one on order

Here's several pictures fellow Finn, Mr Huttunen took recently on Nurburg Ring






I wonder if this was the trip where Mark Webber got to drive a 4.0 RS around the Ring???

Cars are beautiful ... even if they are only black and white

From what I have seen, decal delete is not listed on the options sheet. Best color combo to me is white w/silver wheels.

On the dealer order site the "decal delete" is in the "special" section with other Z code options.

I think they may keep a couple of the "000" cars for future press use and possibly the museum. They have done this recently with the GT2RS, Sport Classic, Speedster, and Carrera GT.

Such expensive things.

Surely just a matter of idle vanity to even contemplate such a superficial matter.

A good question, one could argue that a wheel is a wheel, but it is the primary control for the vehicle so its important that its ergonomics be appropriate!

It is however both superficial and idly vain to change the color of your seatbelts from black to speed yellow just because you have PCCBs ... guilty!
