That’s quite surprising .

Plus 1

I agree... Just make sure if you come up against a Turbo S on the roads you are both doing 35mph and not stuck at the lights

Yes, that's the one... no chance of me getting a build slot

Hopefully in the future... but the kind of order volumes they want is not going to happen easily as I am only interested in the GT range. Maybe a Boxster or Cayman for the wife.

Really excited... been craving a GT3 for years and only had a 987.2S and 981.1S so far. Driven a couple of 911s, though they weren't mine.

It’s a spunkingly fantastic looking GT3. I saw it last weekend and was surprised how good it actually looked in Miami Blue!

Nowt wrong with paying a little over - it’s only the same as buying half dozen cars you don’t want, if that’s the case.

Enjoy in good health. And It might feel a little different to your 987

It is Olive Green. Not got the link atm but it’s on that Instagram PTS site. Looks fantastic.

It has black wheels... I would have preferred the matte dark/grey platinum colour but I'm not too fussed - it looks great.

^^ Having seen this car in the flesh I think it's my fave so far.

Touring looks ace Dr S!

Congrats to everyone else who's recently picked their cars up. I've not seen a bad GT3 yet!

Wow that looks good too!

[Phooey]

mine (no lift) doesn't catch at all over BIG speed humps into gym car park whereas GT4 used to catch on 1 of the humps! GT3 certainly looks lower than the GT4 but for some reason escapes unscathed

[Phooey]

Any idea what this is? Sounds a bit quiet and you can really hear the turbo at 7:54

I wouldn't be surprise to see next Cup car turbo'd, or possibly some form of hybrid

Read the description and follow the link in it to this earlier clip of what looks like the same car:

They've changed the exhaust layout from the stock GT2 system to a central version.

I started a thread on it yesterday. I think the next GT3 Cup car will actually be a GT2:

No turbos on this one

Finally picked up my metallic black GT3 yesterday afternoon. The drive back from Bournemouth was superb and the car drives like a dream and no issues with 4th gear whatsoever. I was thinking of keeping my GT4 but definitely no point now. The only thing that niggles me with the car is that I's spec'd anthracite brushed aluminium trim. On the configurator its definitely anthracite and almost black and its the same dark anthracite on my cayman GTS. On the GT3 it almost looks like standard brushed trim with a very slight tint. For me it kills the dark look against the red I was looking for in the car. Has anyone else spec'd the anthracite trim and come up with the same problem? I'm curious to know if they've actually changed the shade without updating the colour sample on the configurator or if is a genuine mistake at the factory.

Happy with my anthracite trim - darker than standard

misiu1 said:

Phooey,
were you expecting that colour trim when you spec'd the car or are just happy with it because it actually works much better with the silver stitching and on the seats?

Yeah I thought it would be a bit darker (see Porsche configurator pic below) but actually very happy with it in the flesh - suits the platinum stitching very well. I didn't want the standard trim (bit too light) and the Carbon trim I had on my GT4 looked naff. I would spec it again.

If you look at Porsche Config pics below I wonder if it's an error somewhere between computer and factory and some cars have been given Brushed Aluminium instead of Anthracite

GT3 with Brushed Anthracite trim -

GT3 with standard aluminium trim -

GTS with standard trim -

GTS with Brushed Aluminium trim -

Nice. Enjoy Cheib

It hadn’t been cleaned for a few weeks and had half the south of England’s fly population on it, but with the Kenolon coating it cleaned up easily and beautifully and is back to tip top condition bar 3 stone chips.



Retreated all the leather with Gtechniq products and the interior is as new too.

Sorely tempted to take it out but after 5+ hours on three cars, she’s tucked up for the night.

love the side decals on silver cars. nice clean garage too - could do with being another foot longer though... hope the 992 isn't any bigger

[Phooey]

Best value atm is the Newcastle Guards red car - £180k. 500 miles. Must be a near £140k spec.

Just noticed a manual GT3 at JZM for £175k too

I would love to know what ended up the most popular colour choice for the .2GT3. For the Gen1 it appeared to be the white.. Anyone have inside information.

I'd guess at Guards red this time. Launch colour and also standard - cheapest.
