Default Finalized build on wife's GTS today

We have a change freeze date of 4/21 but I believe we are there. We secured one of the last 23 MY GTS's before the new price structure takes effect. Delivery expected mid to late June.
The build was a collaboration where she had control over colors/finishes and left the performance stuff to me. So much fun to see a 70 something woman so excited about an ordering an "Orange" suv.
Now the wait begins. Build sheet attached.

Nice build. Ours is very similar (2022 GTS in Papaya). Congrats.

Nice build - add Burmester and you will have every possible angle covered! I love the Burmester system in my GTS and it adds to the daily experience.

Enjoy a great car

Thanks for the comments. I have a 22 GTS with the Burmester and absolutely love it. She had no interest whatsoever in adding it to her build. I guess I could sneak it in without her knowing but it would probably **** her off. She always drives with audio off.

Heated Steering Wheel

That's an awesome build for performance and looks. The gloss black door handles on full Papaya make it really awesome.

thanks all for the kind words. We are really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

This will be the first time ever that I will look forward to driving my wife's car.

I added the Porsche crest on the center console/armrest. It looks nice and doesn't cost much to add. Personally I really like it.

Well, I decided to add the Burmester. She may never know I did it, but I certainly will

Very nice build. And the papaya.....
That's how we've been doing it successfully for 53 years. Her only condition is don't take it to the track. So I go canyon carving with the buds.

Default Build is Officially Frozen

Two changes were made in the last few days, one chosen by us (we added the Burmester to the build), one by Porsche (was informed the wheels we selected were not available to support our production date). Neither my wife nor I like black wheels and we do not believe that wheels with a bright finish compliment the Papaya/black exterior theme we are going with. That left us with the Vesuvias Grey 5-spokes. These are the same wheels that are on my 22GTS, but with grey finish. All is good. Production scheduled to begin 5/20 with a 6/18 delivery date. The wait continues. Config pic below represents our final build.
