I wish I could see a Graphite Blue one in the flesh, I have ordered one and having the normal second thoughts. I fancy understated, I wonder what Crayon looks like?

Here's one GBM 991.2GT3 in sunlight...I like it a lot on the GT3 especially with black wheels..I would need to see it in varying outdoor light conditions before making a definite choice..

I had a GB Boxster S loan car last year...really liked the colour. Most OPC's have a car in Graphite Blue around...it's very popular on 718's. Balck wheels are a must I think.

I have the chance to buy a manual GTS in carmine red- great spec and a 15 plate car with 7000ish miles.
Unsure if I'm going to take it or not, won't be able to see the car without putting the deposit down as it'll likely go before it arrives at the dealer. What to do...

Thank you so much for that, I agree as well with the post regarding the black wheels. PH at its best!

Manual's are very rare....if you can buy it for a decent price I'd be slapping a deposit down and looking forward to enjoying it. Would be a very easy car to sell if you didn't gel with it. Good cars selling in no time at all at the moment.

I have a graphite blue gts arriving in hopefully a coup,e of weeks. Will post pics when it arrives.

Get a deposit down on it - as long as it has a GTS interior pack and some ok options on it
I've driven the 991.1 GTS Manual and I honestly think it's one of the better drivers car I have been in - yes it doesnt quite have the steering feel of the 997 however the interior and PCM upgrades for me make up for it. 430 BHP is plenty quick enough!
Problem is it sounds good when its on song that you're breaking speed limits a tad too often as its so so addictive.

Put a depo down and don't look back - I think you'll kick yourself if you don't! Just double check the spec on it! (last thing you want to find is it doesnt have centre locks etc)
Interested to know what £ the dealer is asking for it though?
JZM had a lava manual car that sold quick for 102,500 I think!
They still have their non GTS interior pack white car that I thought was sold? (looks dull inside for a car thats 96k)

Hi all,

Keen to hear everyone's impressions of what the .2GTS sounds like? I had a .2 C2S with no PSE on loan last weekend from OPC and was underwhelmed by the noise, certainly in comparison to my GT4 it wasn't great at all!

I've got the opportunity to get one of these for a new daily or settle with a Macan PP and I'm still 50/50...

Cheers
Michael

That's a very high spec car...nothing missing and plenty of expensive boxes ticked. It's also very well priced. GET IT BOUGHT!

Saw a number of new GTS combos yesterday whilst choosing our exterior colour and imo you won't go wrong with any. Also saw Crayon and whilst it looked nice I didn't like it on the GTS.
Interestingly there were three cars that did not have the GTS pack.

Finally went back to my original choice of Rhodium silver as side by side against the popular GT Silver preferred the brigher silver colour against all the black trim and wheels.

[Phooey]

Wow. This one just come on at Reading Porsche - looks fantastic!

Where did you go to see the GTS in Crayon please? Do you have any photos?

Surely the one V12 Virgin was looking at?

One of the best specs I've seen

That is indeed the one that I was looking at...

Ducktail is just stunning. Makes the car IMO. Nice touch from Porsche to introduce back in the 991

Sorry no photos and maybe because it was being prepared to go out last night. It was head office.

[B1ggest]

Am i imagining this, or did i read there will be no Ducktail for the 991.2 due to Turbo position?

Has anyone taken delivery of a PTS?

My dealer is awful on updates, even when asked, is there another way to find out progress?

[Vipergreen]

Anyone have a link to an options price list for the 991 GTS gen 1.

I drove the .2 c2s and it sounded decent to me I think it had the sports exhaust though,but I am not a great fan of the gt4 noise tbh,its great when you let rip but below 4k its a drone to me.
