Can someone buy me a Turbo in dark blue, please?

I am a nice chap, and I did most of my homework at school. My bedroom is also quite tidy.

Apolo, if you get me the Turbo, I'll never again make a snide remark concerning syntax, puncuatation, grammar or spelling. I promise. I'll also say "Yeah!" with real enthusiasm after every comment that you make re a P1/991 Turbo S/918.

Thanks.
mate, I had to beg for mine....before you order a T, try the D, its brilliant..P1s are melting.. TTS, no faster car to 60 this side of a 918...as for the other bits carry on, could not give a Flying Fxxk...honest...

I believe you, too! Saying "diesel" and "Porsche" in the same sentence makes me want to go and wash out my own mouth with soap. I expect the uprated diesel engine will be the pick of the bunch below the Turbo, though.

then your expectations are incorrect...forget BHP...its all about the Torque.....did you not listen at school....

Yep, primarily the colours. Really fancy the Sapphire Blue and Agate/Pebble interior - suits the sports cars and think it'll work on the Macan. Was a Sept build, now Nov - spending this sort of money I'd rather get what I want and wait 2 months than regret it

That said I did get excited a couple of months ago when the dealer offered me a swap to an May build, might have compromised then, but when i forwarded my spec they'd forgotten I had a turbo on order and it was someone wanting to delay the build of their diesel.....

I thought you had promised you would spare us your words of wisdom but instead once again you turn up like a bad penny insulting people.

Here's a hint, just go and take a long look in the mirror and think about how other people see you, then go down to the bar and look how empty it is because people didn't want to be in the same room as an argumentative prick who always has to be right.

You bore me to tears.

New options (supposedly available from October build) include more colour choices (sapphire blue and impulse red) and surround view cameras.

Mine will be Sapphire Blue. Turbo on order with indicative delivery of April 15.
I think the Sapphire Blue will look great...good choice. We are happy with our white turbo with red interior due June...hopefully!

I normally think white SUVs look shyte but the demonstrator I had was white and I really liked it.

Have you driven a turbo yet? Best my local OPC could do was a petrol S, although they have sent me an invite to the Porsche Driving Experience to drive the Turbo. Need to get it booked.

Apolo wasn't being rude to anyone! He's like a wealthy MrDemon with lots of hands on experience of special cars and a tendency to exaggerate (arguably) about the speed a Turbo S can carry through a corner - roughly 2 billion mph through a hairpin...

For an idea of a few additional options have a look in the Good to Know app. Frustrating, since I asked about Surround View when I spec'd it and was told it wouldn't be an option. Not been through in any more detail yet though.

Not driven a turbo as very few demo cars around. Silverstone booked to test drive one on 27th May. It's the wife's colour choice but having just come out of a white GTS Cayenne I think they look great but each to their own I guess.

Drove one at the PEC on Thursday - I was actually thoroughly impressed by both the drive and the space (contrary to what I've said before!).

Had a good 30-40 minutes on road, both driving and passenger, and can certainly see us having one when the waiting list has died down a bit.

There's a black Turbo at the PEC which looks very good and has a nice spec -

Great spec, and a cracking car for 75k.

Someone needs to get it bought.
