Have a suspicion that mid next month will be first batch UK cars inc the Press cars

[andywalton]

I guess it will depend on whether they get one on the UK press fleet. Main UK magazines already drove it on the LA launch.

Be amazed if they didn’t given the 5 star reviews etc. I remember Evo doing a spread on the 991T V the GT3 touring etc.

There was a lot on the 991 T ... every magazine and YT'er was keen to jump in. Be good to see more on the 992T as they arrive in the UK next month.

Ha! Well said Squire!

I have three drafts already… so your estimate is spot on :-)

I’m finalising spec tomorrow - I’m down to red, black, gt silver or python green

Thoughts on these colours?

Solid black, non metallic with the gold stripes a'la Mustang Hertz.
+ aero kit

Do like solid black….. not keen on stripes. Not sure if it’s a bit safe with the black leather interior as don’t especially like fabric options

You could jush it up with some nice stitching inside - some nice colour options with the Interior Trim Package with decorative Stitching in contrasting Colour pack.

Solid classic black is classic for a reason. Overlooked, so many go metallic, but solid black is where it is at.

You could special order with the OPC to have painted wheels - so it could be like this, but not quite this (quickly busked together), but you get my point.




plenty of ways to make the black work and interior to not feel boring.

Having owned two Black 911 Turbos and multiple Black M BMWs I wouldn’t have another black car personally. Absolute nightmare to keep clean, wash it, dry it, looks a million dollars, 20 minute winter drive, looks like a dogs breakfast! That’s why my GT4s were red and Blue and my new T is again red.
Buy the one you like best personally, but if it is black then go in with your eyes open, it’s high maintenance .

Agree with the comments about black.. We've got a black Discovery which looks good for about 10 minutes when it's clean. I've gone for Silver on the T mainly for that reason.. much more low maintenance to keep looking clean! The green is lovely too though.. in the end I've gone for the T interior with the green bits to add a splash of colour.

I probably would have considered Agate grey or Aventurine green if they were available on the T also.

Gone for GT Silver, with black leather as opposed to fabric seats. Dealer recommending rear seats & pdk, but still on fence over both, 2 weeks to decide....

Did you have to go with cooling to the get the leather seats .. PDK v manual, go with what you want unless you are planning to sell back to the dealer in the next year. If you are planning on trading in for the next one PDK might make it easier I guess

I did, as recommended further down this thread. It was thought coloured stitching might add leather but it seems not.....

What was interesting is that there was an unsold GTS Cab in the showroom with a plastic dash - the T even in standard trim gets extended leather whilst its a £2800 option on the GTS......

Yes, on the GTS you have to option two packs to get the GTS interior ... one for leather upgrade and one for the deviated stitching. Seems the T in the UK gets the leather as standard so you only option whether you want deviated stitching. I think in the US there is a more basic plastic dash model as well.

Is the standard leather or is it leather and sportex without the deviated stitching?

Choice is extended leather with woven black fabric seat centres, £1300 extra buys different fabric centres with grey or green stripe pattern, matching stitching and seat belts.

Alternatively £770 buys vented seats with leather seat centres for perforated leather.

Then £2200 can buy coloured stitching.

Is it possible to get the 911 stitching in the seats with SporTex with, say, yellow stitching? So T interior and a bit? I get a bit confused by the configurator here.

Based on the description on the configurator … With decorative stitching in contrasting colour: dashboard upper section, transmission tunnel in front, gear lever, upper section of door trims, door centre panels, door armrests, steering wheel, storage compartment lid, seats, transmission tunnel in rear and rear side panels.

It would seem that the 911 is not included so that would remain black.
