I don't really like 991s, nor GT3s after the 997 line or even white cars.

But that looks bloody fantastic! GT3 Touring is the best modern Porsche bar none.

How are you planning on mounting the front number plate? I am not sure if I want the large Porsche number plate holder for my 4 digit reg..
Stick on one on the panel above when you show it?

Liking the Touring in Agate Grey. Steathly and understated. Very cool IMHO.

I like Agate (my current car is Agate), but I do think silvers and greys look a bit too mainstream and understated on the GT3 Touring.

That picture does look classy, but a bit too passive, IMO.

Agate is a cool colour esp for the touring but really rather marmite for a GT car imo.

Would put it in the same category as Sapphire blue but somehow lacks the wow factor possibly because it is normally associated with a GTS.

Good thing we all like different things.

Agate Grey and Sapphire Blue are both great colours for the Touring IMHO.

Have to say that Agate does nothing on the Touring, way too mainstream. Love crayon or slate through.

locked my spec now - went for jet black metallic with the standard touring (silver) accents. as per the press release shots. was going for GT silver but wavered at the final moment, as think GT silver, lovely as it is, is just a bit too popular. otherwise I succumb to pressure and ordered the nose lift kit (even though it adds weight), did not order BOSE as I think it's pointless on a GT3 and i'll never appreciate it, otherwise full leather, PCCB's (always had them, always got on with them), laser lights, few interior extras and DAB. still managed to get to £132k on the road, not cheap, but worth it. roll on March delivery. only sad thing is farewell GT4, 5,450 miles and every one a genuine pleasure.

Lift is essential in my opinion. Some people say they never use it but I've had to use it a lot so far....
Its also good for resale.

Assuming your spec has been locked by the OPC (and not you) and submitted for build out of interest did they give you an indication of likely delivery date?

Mine locks early Feb with a CP8 first week March and likely delivery early April. Any later and delivery could be threatened by factory shutdown till September and the last thing I want is an Autumn car.

likely delivery date is end March, the spec has now been submitted to the factory, so within the next few days we should get a better indication of the build date. if anything the dealer thinks the delivery might come forward. will let you know.
