Stunning, but that font on the door sill ?!!

Personally, I’d have gone for comic sans

[23wn_4f2]

Haha, yeah ok, fair. Font choice could have been better but easily changed if i wanted too

GT3 collection - PTS with Pasha retro fabric interior!

Lovely.

But I cannot stand these YouTube thumbnails where blokes pull those imbecilic expressions.

I don’t care about their expressions… I find it odd that they get pref allocations.

What a weird spec. GT3 with a wing, but its manual, then it has the sports seats (not the carbon buckets) and no club sport package. Colour and seat inserts comes down to personal taste, but the mix of everyday usability and track spec is odd. Oh and i just cant stand these Youtube guys and why does Porsche play along with this lot.

Because they will get the car back in a couple of months and make more on the second bite if the cherry.

When Porsche introduced the GT3 Touring to satisfy even more of their market they obviously only sold relatively few because duh most people want the winged version because.....it's a GT3 and it looks cool as fk......

The limited production of the GT3 Touring was borne out of the lack of demand and perversely, with the hyped market of the last few years, it has become a limited production car with the following extra overs which excites so many new Porsche buyers. My neighbour who seems almost like a car dealer, but he's actually a property man, gets most new GT Pork, he was telling me how he prefers the wing on my GT3 but of course he has managed to get a Touring who's potential profits he is very excited about....

Lastly the GT3 model was conceived with a wing and a wing with any spec you like is not odd, on the autobahn at 160mph extra downforce is a great thing to have, bucket seats, a must have on PH, whilst they look awesome are uncomfy to a lot of people who actually use the cars and sofas are mega comfy. My GT3 is perfect it has Sofas, rear seats and a set of buckets and cage ready to slot back in for those with alternative needs and desires

Hornbaek says it's a weird spec and your conclusion is that he's spec'd it for resale? Muppet! I actually quite like the spec, but I'd have gone for buckets and black or silver calipers. I suspect given the choice, STG would have had a touring, but absent that, has spec'd his winged GT3 for what he wants to use it for - touring and comfort. If it didn't have the wing, I don't think you'd call it track spec and therefore weird.

I think that is rather stunning (not the seat inserts) and I would have gone manual and non buckets too.

More than good enough for the road. Definitely wouldn't have Club Sport.

Don't quite see how he got a slot, but hey ho.

I don't think I've seen a worse spec. Horrid. Imagine sitting in that everyday??

This has to be for shock value and subscribers surely??

I was referring to the comment “why do dealers play along with YouTubers” not the spec.

Of all the 'YouTubers' Sam (Seen Through Glass) is one of the least pretentious. He's been talking about this car and agonising over his specification choice for months and is genuinely excited to have secured one. He's owned Porsches previously (he did 'Drive the World' in a 991.2 Carrera T) and is a real advocate for the brand.

It definitely is spec'd to his taste and for how he wants to use the car and not for resale - so good on him I say.

I'd much rather see him in one than pretty much any other 'content creator' - at least his passion for Porsche and excitement is genuine.

Hopefully he won’t be making a “not gelling with the GT3” video anytime soon.

For his sake. Being polite, that's a very 'unique' spec. Can't imagine that's going to sell easily.

Just under 4hrs to go… shall we open a little book, on where this ends up?

Personally can’t see it going past £202k + fees unless someone really is a fan.

Like the comment responding to the tyres

'The tyres are the originals and we are told they have a few MM left of tread. The owner states that the rears will be more worn than the front.'

I wonder who asked such awkward questionswonder how much brake pad material is left,i looked at a 6000 mile gt3 and the pads needed replacing.
