Thinking of rear wheel steer and sports exhaust as a ‘must have’ option.

Whatbare thoughts on these as don’t want to under spec but also don’t want to throw it away!

Best Option is the ability to opt out when they add 10% to the price ....!
On a positive, early order guys will not lose too much as prices increase!

Went to launch last night - car looks amazing!

Definitely made right choice about gold wheels and style of them.

Evening Tony, when do you take delivery? I’m quite taken by this thing and would be very interested to see what you think of it. Reviews are encouraging but not sure if I can cope with the loss of noise. I hear the car is crushingly capable but might lack the theatre, hence I’d like your opinion. Hope all’s well chum.
Hi Mark

Sent you a PM.

Take delivery next week but gone for black with gold wheels. Have rear wheel steer, sports exhaust, chrono and alcantara. Loads more bits but they are the main ones.

Couldn’t make mind up which options were important so car ended up being quite a well specced model haha.

Hows the V12V......epic machine.

Finally driven and a sports exhaust is a must for sure.

I think the car looks better with standard 4 pipes but even with a sports system it sounds somewhat muted.

Also think that dash is a crap design as outer dials hidden by steering wheel.

That said, looking forward to collection in a week or so!

Mine has rear wheel steer and the lowered suspension, also has sports exhaust.

I think that as a minimum these are probably options that should be added, just for the fun element.

There are a few more options but probably not necessary biglaugh

Having been away from 911’s for a good 10 years, am looking forward to driving this later on this week.

The external side body kit is quite subtle and really suits the car.

2. Sports exhaust

3. Birds eye camera system (wish mine had that)

4. 18 way seats

I have an alcantara headliner in mine. Very nice option to have. Door cills also illuminated which again are a nice feature.

You really have to be careful with the box ticking when ordering one of these type

Rear camera......anyone got any ideas on replacement options as one fitted is useless.

Whoever specced the lens wants to go get an eye test!

Screws in the outer edge of the front number plate a definite must have option!

They ensure the plate is as flush as it can be at each side as without them the parking sensors will drive you mad. The sensors pick up the edge of the plate and will react every time the speed drops to a level that activates them.
