Collected my Touring yesterday. Only have a pic where OPC staff are attaching number plates, but you get the idea:



Could only do the short trip home from my OPC so far. Will hopefully over the weekend get more mileage and better pics done

If I'm not mistaken that looks like Agate, with black (vs chrome) trim, satin wheels, PCCBs and the clear light cluster. All options that I've ticked but haven't seen as a combination in reality - or in a photo until now.

Looks great to me. And look forward to any more pics you post. Have fun.

Maybe not Agate, on closer look. Possibly PTS, but if so, no idea which one?

It's slate grey. The light in the pic doesn't do the colour justice. Wheels are Platinum which works very well with the body colour

My memory is hazy on this but a long long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) I hazily recall thinking about speccing a porsche in slate ..was it a colour from the past ?

Slate grey looks great.

Hasn't got the underlying brown hue of Agate.

Finally managed to add a few more miles to the new toy. Light wasn't great given dodgy weather. A few observations:

Steering is night and day with the new front-axle. Cornering is much more direct and cohesive - especially compared to the 1.2 Touring. Ride comfort is perfectly fine for everyday use. I could not detect any of the tramlining for which the Touring got stick both by Evo and Harry M, despite mine being on Michelins too.

A thing of real beauty!

Good to know re the early feedback.

Saw the video. My impression is that whilst the setup may be overall a bit firmer, then suspension reacts much quicker making it no less "comfortable" than the 1.2, if that makes sense. It feels more sophisticated
