Why folding and not full buckets?

Not sure there's great value in sport chrono.
i have an October build date and was informed last week that there is now a 4 week delay on full bucket seats so I switched to the folding bucket seats

Which colour has been the most popular PTS?
I believe the blues - Mexico, Riviera and Voodoo are most popular. Although I wonder how many people actually have it confirmed and locked in and weren't cancelled due to the stop on CTS.

Well see, I know mine is 100% confirmed and that's Mexico. A poll is in order (joking, no-one start another thread FFS even I think we are taking the piss with the GT4 ones now and I happily talk st about it all evening!)

For those picking between Guards and Carmine, I was at PEC yesterday and saw both colours in a variety of lighting conditions, sunny and cloudy.

With an iPhone it's hard to get the colours right in photos.

I was expecting to prefer Carmine over Guards but didn't feel that way at all. I tried to imagine both colours were the same cost and which would I pick, and I would choose Guards Red surprisingly.

Carmine looked too dark/murky to me. Carmine looks more like colours from another car brand somehow to me, and this red clashed with the yellow of the calipers and number plate to my eyes.



Carmine GTS

- Bi-xenons with PDLS
- Sport chrono package
- 64 litre tank
- Red stitching
- Smoking package (i don't smoke but i prefer the look of the console with this)
- Footwell net
- Extinguisher
- Guards red belts
- Storage compartment lid with 'Porsche' logo
- Carbon interior package
- Carbon centre console

- Sound pack plus
- Mobile prep

I would like to have the Porsche decals on the bonnet and doors fitted.

Can't wait!

The options totalled just over £10k, i think.

The cage is pointless for me and the standard (GT3) brakes should be more than upto it. It would be interesting to know what percentage of buyers are speccing their cars with these.

Yup standard brakes and no cage. I feel both are great to have but unnecessary

I was told this as well,but had a call from dealer yesterday confirming my build had no (further delays)delay,despite the fixed buckets.
Bear in mind when we were told originally you couldnt have sapphire/carmine or the buckets ..european buyers doid not have this issue and were able to order what they wanted.

Can't believe you decided against PTS. It would have made my year! Still gutted I can't have Viper.

I wanted a rare colour, every one was ordering a Blue and normal Caymans seem to be a lot of blues, then I saw a 991 GTS in mexico and it put me off, looks great on older cars not the newer ones imo. I just felt uneasy with it.

I should have gone slate grey or Viper, but my cars been locked for ages, was hassle getting the blue off.

any way £2.8k better off for it :-)

viper was the colour missed just did not want another green car but in hindsite a mistake. esp for resale value of which we all think about these days

I think Yellow looks great on the GT4 in real life, and seeing the launch car for real I switched to it.
Plus yellow stitching looks the bomb :-)

My 991 GT3 was in Mexico and it was stunning, hence I have chosen it for the GT4 wink
