How would you spec your 992 GTS?

Thanks.

Getting a bit excited now, haven’t had a 911 since the kids were born. Lots of M3’s and M5’s over that period when we needed 4 doors and 4 seats.

Looks great! Did you order another upon collection? How did they manage the PX value on your current one given the current market? I’m considering the same.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you are meaning. The next one will likely be 15-18 months away, so the px figure on the current (992 Targa GTS) will be agreed shortly before that. Obviously it isn’t possible to agree a px figure now due to timescales and potential market fluctuations.

Is your car Aventurine Green? I got the pre-build notification the other day for my car and I have spec’d it in Aventurine Green without seeing a real life car in that colour.

Yes, Aventurine.

It's hard to get a photo which represents its actual colour, as tends to look more grey in the photos's, whereas in reality it is more of a subtle green. Obviously is light dependant.

I’ve only had the targa a couple of days now, but even at this early stage I’d argue it the perfect Porsche for someone not wanting to track their car, and therefore it’s purpose of generally day to day driving.

It’s an absolutely fantastic car. It’s replacement is likely 18 months away (same) so quite a while to decide the spec on that one.

Stunning, especially against the black contrast.

Car looks stunning Hobo, congratulations.

Stunning. My boss in Kuwait has a Carrera S in Aventurine and it’s looks so different in different lights.

It's the colour I was getting my c2 in. As you say, great colour and does look different under different lights but not in the way others do (like two tone you see on some range rovers and older gen cars)

Classy and subtle.

I actually thought my bosses was agate when parked under the shade it’s when he pulled out in the sun you see the green through it.

i was thinking of speccing the Light weight package with the bucket seats, but after sitting in them i feel that they are too upright for anything other than track days. Anyone has them on their daily driver?

[a3simon]

Anyone heard anything about aerokit being reintroduced? I still have a month until my lock date and hoping it’s back by then.

[n12maser]

Saw this one at the weekend

I managed to get the aerokit on my car even though it’s not on the configurator. I locked in my spec early March 22 and I’m on track for collection mid July. My OPC was able to arrange this for me

Do you need to do anything to get a build photo pushed to the Porsche App?

Has anyone gone for the 930 leather pack option?

Nope, but see it on a car and looked nice.

I thought the same, it was not available when I specked my current car.

Is that standard on the Turbo, with the ribbed leather seats and door cards? If so looked lovely on the Turbo I saw.

Think it was available when I spec'd mine as was looking at it on a Targa 4S the dealer had in stock, but wasn't sure how it would work with the race-tex bits, so didn't bother. If you wanted complete leather inside then it certainly looks nice.
