Default GT Turbo

I just received a GT Turbo allocation. October or so delivery. Here’s myhttp://www.porsche-code.com/PPK756Q3

Opinions sought. I was also considering PTS with racing green metallic.

Looks nice, I went for the launch spec on mine, Arctic Grey with the Neodyme wheels and interior.

Racing Green Metallic is one of the best options available for PTS on the Turbo GT. If you go with that color I would go with the Neodyme wheels / interior, the green and gold really compliment each other well.

Java Green Metallic is the other PTS option that stands out if you want a more bold color.

nice spec.
Having seen one similarly specced Turbo GT in the metal for few days here are a couple of thoughts:
- The wheel arches and some of the exterior accents and trims are (for some reason) done in black urethane/plastic finish. This should be considered whether you want to try to blend it with the color or to completely contrast it. I would go with contrast.
- The standard interior without speccing the brushed aluminum is too dark. speccing the aluminum accents look much better in my opinion
- Burmester makes a big difference and is worth the money if you like a nice sound (I have had both on two different cayennes and would totally recommend it for a cayenne)
- i would save the money on the gear selector(standard will be alcantara vs the exclusive will be leather) , also the gas tank exclusive cover cannot be seen unless you are putting gas in the car.
enjoy in good health

thanks! Good feedback. How would you contrast the black plastic trim pieces?

i meant to contrast them through choosing a car color that would contrast with those trim pieces. white, arctic grey, crayonne. the limited color pallet of this car is the biggest problem IMO.

Agreed with above, If your going with the Neodyme personally I don't think Moonlight Blue is the right color, I'd go Arctic Grey or PTS Racing Green.

Otherwise with the Moonlight Blue I'd go with Black wheels and the Grey Stitch GT Interior Package.

Chalk with Black Wheels and Grey Stitch will also look great.

i tend to agree I’m just not convinced I can do the bronze neodyme wheels with blue. Back to black wheels

I'd personally go with satin plat wheels vs black against the blue, I've never been a black wheel fan but that's just me

I'd also add steering column casing in leather, I notice it all the time in my Turbo and love it. I have the exclusive shifter in my current Turbo and I don't like it, skipped it for the standard shifter for my incoming one for what it's worth.. otherwise looks like a really nice spec

Leather wrapped steering column is not available with the Neodyme interior in the US for some weird reason?

On the color, moonlight blue metallic is a very dark blue. Without the sun, it's mostly black. Just throwing it out there!
