That looks sensational, and is making me want to switch my Boxster 4.0 spec to Python Green.

Does look good.

No doubt deliveries will be delayed due to lack of semiconductors though, as my dealer noted to me yesterday in relation to my Targa GTS order frown

Did they say how long? I am expecting the same was due to complete Mid October.

Didn't say, just gave me a statement that had been provided by Porsche themselves.

From what my dealer told me weeks ago, you won't be seeing a GTS this year.

Q1 next year at the earliest.

From what I can see, to get the contrast stitching costs an additional £2189.00 as you need Interior Trim Package with decorative stitching in contrasting colour. This, on top of the Race-Tex interior package with extensive items in leather at £2811.00, makes it more expensive than the GTS Interior Package...

Admittedly I’m not a massive fan of the accent dials, but it doesn’t seem to make sense to spec these two above the GTS pack, given the resale consideration?

Tell me if I’m missing something! I want the full Race-Tex interior, so have currently spec’ed Race-Tex interior package with extensive items in leather, but the only other thing I’d like is the contrast stitching. I could just do without the crayon seat belts and dials. The carbon is a no brainer, but I’d prefer to spend £506.00 as opposed to £2,231.00!
speccing those two comes to £5000, adding the carbon takes it to £5500, speccing the GTS interior package is over £5200, so not much difference.

Its the only option if you want the alcantara and contrast stitching but in a colour other than red or crayon. I want yellow to match the paint.

As far as resale goes, it won't matter as the interior is still the same as the GTS interior, the carbon, the alcantara, its just the stitching that is different. people want the high end interior of those features, more than just ticking the one box. I also dont spec my cars for resale, I spec them for me to enjoy for 3-4 years.

Tbf, I am expecting this to be the case. But as of now it’s still showing that completes mid October.

Reading, Silverstone, West London, Hatfield.

I've ordered from Silverstone, all giving the same message though.

The PEC isnt even due to have one, no dealers are getting a demo either.

Thanks, a pretty consistent message then from them all. Shocked about dealers not getting any demos and PEC not getting one either. At least that means they’ll be prioritising customer orders.

I ordered mine last month and was told March which is perfect for me.

Definitely tempted by the Python Green with Lizard Green belts and dials. Re-sale ability in Glasgow will be limited to half the city though haha!

I think a few are managing exceptions in case of delays. Whist I am expecting my Targa GTS to be delayed, its still showing as completing build 22nd of next month same day as another mates Black Targa supplied via West London. Just put phone down on PEC, they say expecting their GTS Nov.

Must admit, now that a few video's have started appearing online of the GTS, I'm contemplating switching to Python Green as think it looks fantastic.

Far more YouTube reviews out today and hopefully more to follow, worth checking out the ones from different countries as they use different specified cars.

Having had a few Boxsters and having looked again at Astons I finally took the plunge last week and put a deposit on a GTS Cab due to arrive in q2 next year. My first 911 and far more than I have spent before but I'm very excited by the prospect of it.

I had been looking at an S Cab but was persuaded that the GTS was the way to go.

In terms of spec my first issue is that after a number of years of black wheels I am well and truly sick of them and really do not want them on this car. I know that this loses the centre locks but it is a big issues for me. I have decided to go for a "clean" look and I suspect an unusual look for a GTS but the GTS interior etc do nothing for me.

The link to the code =

Thoughts, comments and advice all very welcome, especially as a 911 newcomer.

Each to thier own, and take my comments as nothing more than my own opinion, however I don't see the point of a GTS if it doesn't have centre locks or the alcantara/racetec interior.

That spec as a GTS will be unsellable but if you like it to it.

I've got one on order, I spend hours on the config but still I can't decide between the spyder's or centre locks.

http://www.porsche-code.com/PNUM5V41

I just really like the spyder wheel design

Mine isn't due to Mar/Apr so I have a while to finalise the spec
