Anyone for ‘T’

[ags11]

I guess it'll depend at what point the 992 build starts- carrera coupes are usually the initial builds- l can't see the T running alongside them. Targas and convertibles yes, but not the basic coupe format of a T.
Over the run of the 991 the T numbers will be small regardless, in this perspective it is limited, whether that influences residuals remains to be seen- if that's anyone's priority?!

Regards the GT3, I'll surprised if there's not a few more of them built in September as well.

Porsche Bolton?

A friend collected his GT4 and snapped your car in a great line up including Turbo S exclusive, 991.1 GT3RS, 991.2 GT3 and GT2RS

That's a great pic showing all those cars lined up together.

Locked mine down today - road tax made me wince.
OPC said they have just had a further 3 cars become available, but the T will still be way lower in numbers than the GT3.

My OPC has 4 Ts and 7 GT3s allocated.

And thats it.

Bear in mind the factory shuts April to September for e platform.

All 911s will be in short supply.

Not sure how many GT3s my OPC has but they've also told me that they will only get 4 Ts

My OPC got 5 x GT3’s (one Touring - mine) and has 3 x T and hoping to get one more

Thanks for the kind words.

The options I have had are;
Gt silver
Full bucket seats
Gt sport steering wheel
Interior T pack
Led lights in black
Yellow instruments
Chrono in yellow
Sports design pack
Tinted tail lights

Very nice too and Great to see a real one. I drove past Bolton at lunchtime but you’d already gone
Similar configuration to mine coming in March

If there’s anyone in the northwest that has a 991 with LWBs and wouldn’t mind taking me out please give me a shout. I still can’t decide whether to get them or not

[blackmamba]

I went to my OPC and they had every seat option available in stock cars. Very helpful and let me go out in a few. I loved the LWBS - comfortable and added greatly to the sense of occasion. I can see why people might not want them for a daily driver but for a weekend car they were great.

Has anyone noticed that DAB has become a no cost option on the configurator? Originally it was showing as a standard item in conjunction with PCM, I hope it hasn't been removed, can anyone confirm?

Yes - I have! Induced mild panic, so I contacted my OPC who said strange; DAB was showing on the original order on their system but not as a ticked option. They got me to update the order to include it. So seems not to be an issue but a bit odd of Porsche to do this.

That is odd.
It's listed in the 'Standard Specification' document for the base Carrera as: 'DAB digital radio (DAB, DAB+ and DMB)'.

That line of text is no longer showing in the same document for the T, probably because the T doesn't come with PCM as standard.

However, my final order form for a T, completed in December before DAB became listed as a no-cost option, states in the specification:
'DAB digital radio (DAB, DAB + and DMB) (included with no cost option of Porsche Communication Management
(PCM)).'

Which begs the question, why now make DAB a separate option and not include it with PCM?

I picked up a GT silver T with full bucket seats and a manual box today and I can’t tell you how good it is, great gearbox, fantastic noise, as much power as you need day to day and a fantastic looking car.

Looks lovely, kind of wish I’d gone for the sport design front bumper now. Thought it looked odd on the configurator, but it looks good in real life.

Nice little 2-part review, from That Nine Eleven Guy - Driving from South of France back to OPC Reading over 48hours.

I will be annoyed if my car turns up without DAB ......certainly said it was standard when ordered..... Use it more than I thought I would in the current Cayenne we have..... certainly improves the quality....

Had a chat with the dealer this morning about the DAB....as my car is on the boat and arrives very soon..... He’s speaking to Porsche GB..... As originally it was a ‘standard item’ Jh90..... do you have DAB on your car.....?

[moonigan]

If anyone is after a build slot for a T please PM me and I'll put you in touch. I've decided not to take the slot that was offered to me and as of this morning it was still available.

I am waiting for my dealer to respond too. Let's compare notes.

I've messaged my dealer too, awaiting answer on DAB. I'll keep up to date on here.
My spec at time of order is attached

[av185]

I didn't spec digital radio but did spec PCM.

But on my order digital radio (QV3) is automatically specced above the PCM (18L) option.
