Default Turbo S finds a home

I ordered the car on Feb. It finally showed up this week. Doesn't seem to be a shortage of the Turbo S's. My dealer still has one on the ground that wasn't pre-ordered. Mine is Basalt Black, with Black Interior, Porsche Crest in Headrest, Leather Seat Backs, leather PDK Surround and painted splitter, skirts, headlight wiper nozzle. I'm very happy with it. The SMG is very, smooth. Almost too smooth. haven't had an opportunity to open her up. Only 50 miles so far.

Just out of curiosity, what does Porsche supply for tools for the centerlocks?

Congratulations and enjoy it in the best of health.

All you get is the Big Lug Adapter for lack of a better word. You'll also need a big Torque wrench and a big breaker bar. Torque wrench for on and breaker bar for off.

Very Nice only 50 miles. Man get that car out for a drive when mine comes in if it ever does hearing more rumbling about another Ice Blue delay. I will be driving my life away as Eddie Rabbit use to say

Enjoy

Congratulations. I love your center lock wheels. I wish I could have had them whith my Iforged wheels.

You will enjoy the PDK. Once you get used to it, it's as much fun to drive as the manual.

Drive safe as you put those memorable miles on her.

Congrats on the ride... that steering wheel is one of the best of the bunch IMO.

I'm going out on a limb... I predict that your 458 color choice will be... wait for it... NERO.

No Nero, I like my Porsches in Black, The 458 will be either the Pearl Yellow (If I can find a way to rationalize $27k for a paint color) or Rosso Corsa Red. Black interior with deviated stitching and lots of carbon.

Very nice BB. Inspires drooling lust in one like me who buys a new Porsche just once every 10 years or so. I love the wheels.
