Hopefully "custom" mode on SC will allow you to get all the "sporty" settings w/o autoblip.

This just became the hottest GT ticket in the whole 991 GENERATION.

Is Porsche just trying to make it more difficult or is there an logical explanation to way they have chosen two different names for it?
Logic on that is beyond me....chalk I get, crayon I don't. Perhaps Eduardo knows.

When I think crayon I think vibrant colours.

Crayon looks a lot like Fashion Grey. Slick.

Incredible.

It will be interesting to see what happens to 911 R and GT3RS values!

A performance 911 that you can configure, buy relatively cheaply compared to those above, 9k redline, MANUAL, better aero than previous generations, better looks...Amazing.

AP's personal car is a manual. Must've been trying defending the PDK-spin only spin all those years.

So four years on the transmission debacle is finally sorted, cosmetics and downforce are upgraded, and the motor has finally undergone proper motorsports development and appears sorted. All appears back on track in Porsche GT-land. Now if they'd just strip the interior, shed 200 or so pounds, and give us a 5-lug option it'd be nirvana.

First mod on this car after dropping the heavy side cans has to be a lightweight flywheel.

Bring on the RS.

Depends on where you are located. In the US we will get the 918 based seats.

yes. The press release says three seat options including folding buckets. But perhaps that is not US

AP said he doesn't have an R....I thought he owns that Brewster Green R with yellow stickers?
