I’m torn between Shark Blue or Gentian! Tough call.
Heart says, It’s a GT3 so it has to be a full on race car, go Shark Blue, on the other hand Gentian is a low key colour but also suits the shape of the 992, dark colours tend to hide the bulk!
Now that looks nice...

I’m very fortunate to of been offered a 992 GT3 I went to my local OPC yesterday to build the car which I’m really excited about
Thanks
Is configuring a 992 GT3 at your local OPC an essential journey? or an essential retailer....

Oh well least it was your local one.

As with all colours you need to see them in the flesh.

Plenty of Gentian cars around it is quite dark in typically dull UK light and furthermore a non GT Porsche colour too.

Shark is more of a contrast there will probably be a Shark one at the PEC in due course so thats probably your best bet.

No lockdown here bud, or speed limits for that matter

I’m very lucky to live on the IOM

I thought the 'Touring' version wasn't being released until later in the year?

I sold it to a guy in Bath who then sold it to another guy who lives in my town who was apparently doing a full restoration on it. That was a few years ago now, wonder if I'll ever see it around haha.
Dug these out, it was very pretty especially in its day

That looks stunning , I for one really like the 992. I was a huge fan of the 991.1/2 RS in white with the blacks bits but that’s one of the colours I don’t like with the 992

They’re all stunners IMO

But back on topic do you know what increase Porche is adding on to the final price ?? Mines £142k and I’m hearing another 10% which I really hope isn’t the case, is this to do with taxes etc now we’ve left the eu??

It's amazing how many touchy people there are in this World Lol, Thank F' im not one of them

As for price increases I would guess we have Brexit and Covid on Porsche's side so it's a good opportunity for them to make the most of it sadly but who knows

The spec of the Green car above was £151k ish but I think worth every penny

There are no additional taxes as a result of Brexit on cars

There is going to be additional costs on top of your £151k that’s what the whole thread is about, I posted a screenshot from Porche about this thumbup

I'm not getting one I just specked it to see what it looked like and the cost,I wouldnt come out of My RS for the GT3 unless I could guarantee getting back into another RS and its too early to know about that yet

I liked the look of the new GT3 particularly in Green but it doesn't make sense to swap right now

Those that get one will love it, whats not to like biggrin

I’m sceptical about this, for the reasons already explained.
