992 - anyone specing one yet?

Actually, you may be right

Crayon is a top colour if paired with lots of black accents in the metal if anyone’s interested

Doesn't do it for me, looks so 997. And how much Porsche do you need to shout?

Looking at your GTS it looks the least Crayon I’ve seen in a picture so you could well be right.

ATM I’m on Aventurine Green but want to see a swatch before I lock down. If I don’t like it I think I’ll go Crayon and black or maybe CWM.

Personally I’m still not 100% sure about the 992 - could be too digital but I’ve got an early car and I’ll keep the manual 991.2GT3 in the garage for analogue weekend thrills.

I’m with Ernie I’m afraid. I’ve had 918 buckets, folding buckets, 18 way and 4 way sports seats. I’d pick 4 way sports seats everyday as they sit lower and are VERY comfortable. 18 way sit higher and I agree I’m always making micro changes.

Folding buckets are the best for me for total comfort but obviously not ideal as a daily in all honesty.

It’s a small point but the car comes with sports seats 4 way, I made the point above in regard re sports seats PLUS 4 way, their that bit sportier but shiverman makes a good point that the cars std 4 way do sit lower than 18 way and as an everyday seat or for whatever driving you do they are excellent.

Sorry, I was talking 4-way sports seats PLUS. A great seat and best value imo.

Am I correct in assuming the smokers pack only gives you a large ashtray to replace the drinks holder? When I specced my Macan Turbo, it provided an extra power point and filled a hole in the console.

I dont think smokers pack is a must anymore as the new cupholder is totally removable now

You may be right - I think I need more than this - must buy more decals

I imagine the two cars would work very well together - a perfect pairing. (I have a manual 991.2 GT3 & a 991.2 GTS and it works for me)

I thought this shot of the green looked really strong - not sure how representative it is? If this picture is representative, then I think it's a great colour !

Is the red/black interior okay for resale? Does anyone have experience ? Or is all black a better option to go for? Thanks

I'm going for guards red / black interior. I think that'll look fantastic.

[PGNSagaris]

All black would be the last option for me. So dull.

Black/Red for the win!

I assume he means the two-tone interior as opposed to red OR black! I could be wrong though

Two tone black/red is lovely. I'd be more likely to buy a SH car with that combo than all black.

Sorry, yes I should have been more specific. I meant the two tone red and black interior as opposed to the all black interior. Exterior I’m thinking carerra white or Gt silver

Looks like a great spec. Are you dead set on the 18 ways? I’d have a look at sports seats plus , never had a better seat in any car all round perfect in every way on balance. I dislike the 18 ways as I somehow think them a bit to homogeneous and I can’t stop micro adjusting them and not attaining the ‘right’ position. I also dislike how slow fore and aft is using electric motor vs old style lever. If your on the larger side then 18 ways but if 6 footish and under 200 pounds at least try the sports seats plus, they’re std in gen 2 991 gts

As always imho.

i’ve spec’d 18 way but after reading this I’m not sure! I had standard seats in my 991.1 Turbo and found them uncomfortable on a long journey but the 18 way in my 991.2 Turbo S were so much better.

Do you know if the sport plus seat is exactly the same seat as the 18 way just minus the multitude of motors and adjustments? I dont think it was all the adjustments that made my previous 18 way comfortable but more the actual seat itself if that makes sense! I’d also prefer to have a lever to adjust fore and aft plus it would be good to save a couple of grand too.

I have, but they have only been given I understand demo models as yet ??

March build delivery beginning of April. Spec has gone in. The launch date has now been delayed one month, until last week in March.

[nn7man]

Finalised my order today, late Feb/early March build.

In case anyone's interested, factory PPF on the front is now an option but doesn't show up on the UK customer configurator, only the dealer's version.

It covers the frunk lid, front fascia/bumper, front wings, and upper exterior mirror trims.

Does anyone else have their deposit down for a manual or is it just me? Delivery mid / late summer I have been told.

There is a 968 Sport for sale in Hampshire in Aventurine green metallic. Really great paint condition so if near there you could see the colour in the flesh as it were.

I have been informed PTS is now available to order on these cars, I am still waiting on a update for the bucket seats.
