how about the ride quality on the potholed roads? how does it compare to your previous vehicles? do you regret to have chosen 21 inch wheels instead of 20 or 19 inch wheels?
Considering we all but skipped winter in the Northeast this year, haven’t had to contend with many potholes. As far as ride, last car was a MB GLS so that quality is hard to beat. Also considered RR Sport but while the Porsche didn’t ride as well, I had to have it anyway. Bucket list item and so far no regrets at all. Love it.

So far, so good with the 21" wheels. The only reason I wanted the 21" wheels is to get the body-colored fender trim instead of black plastic, and that comes with the 21" wheels.
My concerns with the 21" wheels are risk of curb rash due to the lower sidewalls, ride quality, risk of rim damage from potholes, tires are more expensive to replace, etc. I got the ParkAssist with Surround View so that will hopefully help me avoid curb rash when parallel parking.
The air suspension is really helping to counter the harshness of the 21" wheels. I suspect the 21" wheels with the standard suspension is too harsh for my tastes.
helat, there are a number of threads about ride comfort with different suspension / wheel-tire combinations. As a general rule, the consensus is that the 21" wheels are fine with air suspension, and still reasonable with steel springs. If ride comfort is a priority, I can personally attest to how compliant both the 19" and 20" setups are with steel springs. We've had several extended runs with service loaners in them.
And BradATL is right about the curb rash. My wife recently played footsie with a parking-garage divider curb in our Turbo with standard 21" wheels and gouged one pretty good. Our dealer repaired it so well you can't even tell it was ever damaged. I'm certain there'd have been no damage with the 19" tires and their ultra-puffy sidewalls.
Got my Turbo Coupe. Wasn’t sure about the chalk with grey interior but I think it turned out great. Went with the chalk inserts on the interior as well to match.
I will say the car looks bulky in pictures and a little off - but man in person the thing looks absolutely wicked.

Beautiful - Love it!!! Made it just in time before the factory shut downs here in Europe.

are those numerals on the chrono clock on the dash in 'orange' or are they illumated that way?
The clock is Bordeaux red. In person it’s very subtle.
Snazzy! Good idea to break the usual monotony of greys & blacks. CAn you send a close up pic of that clock?
Also, any problems with grease marks on the alcantara grab handles?
