November delivery 991 Turbo S

Hi folks,

Couldn't help it. Total madness getting another when the current one is absolutely perfect. Sheer & utter indulgence despite being on the planet once & the 'you can't take it with you' etc...

Confirmed spec with my OPC for this:-

Agate Grey Metallic
Agate Grey/Pebble Grey Bi-Colour leather interior
Porsche Entry & Drive
Electric slide/tilt glass sunroof
Electric folding exterior mirrors, but sacrifices nicer sport ones.
Silver model designation on doors
Wing mirror (lower part) painted
Privacy glass (rear side windows and rear window)
Power steering Plus
20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels
Seat heating
Adaptive cruise control incl. Porsche Active Safe (PAS)
Light design package
Speed limit indicator
Floor mats
Rear footwell lighting
White instrument dial Sport Chrono stop clock
Adaptive Sports seats Plus (18-way)
White instrument dials
Porsche crest embossed on head restraints
Interior Alcantara CLH Alcantara PDK gear selector
Alcantara SportDesign steering wheel
Interior Aluminium Turbo S stainless door sill guards, illuminated
TV tuner
Online services
Telephone module
Digital radio

Arrives in November since deposit placed ages ago.

Current beloved 997 Turbo S back with Bristol OPC for sale.

Just want to enthuse with the like minded since no one else understands!

Best regards,

Greg

Nicely done, lets just hope the car lives up to the hype []

I think that's a very similar spec to where mine would have been but without the TV..

Have you driven car with power steering plus? On a Cayenne this makes it handle awful. Perhaps it's different on a 991?!

Also, there are two speed limit indicators - one build into the PCM which uses sat nav to work out the speed. The other is via front mounted camera that reads signs. The latter is a cost option, the former is not.

...just saying

Congrats by the way!

I was in Germany last week near Stuttgart and saw a light blue 'test car' - looked immense!
Happy days ahead!

Thanks,

That's useful. I'll check with the OPC about that.

No I've not driven anything with power steering plus. I'll check that too.

Cheers,

Greg

Read a road test this morning (not usually a 'Car' fan, but this issue is quite good for Porschephiles) and the all round performance of this new car looks to be absolutely fantastic. Your spec does look pretty comprehensive and should be a real stealth car in Agate with the silver decals. I'm sure some of the 997 boys will be interested to get your feedback as to comparisons with your current TTS.

Do you chaps know that the PDCC is now switchable? I.e it has an on/off button on the centre console. So you can turn it back into a car which rolls (a bit more!) in corners. Standard fit on the "S", of course, but can't see any reason to not spec it on any 991 now.
BTW, anyone looking for an early Turbo S build slot should call Exeter PC who have just had an order cancellation and have one available.[]

Not tempted then, Alan? []

£140k minus what mine is now worth is a big chunk of dosh - only to lose it all again in the next 3 years. I'm very happy with what I have still. (Plus the house move is going to soak up most of the spare!) I'll stick this time around.[]

PDCC has had a mixed reception on 991s. Some traditional 911 owners say it feels less natural. Others like it. I've driven 991s with and without, and prefer it without on the road. The car hardly rolls in any event. A switch obviously gives the driver a choice.

like the idea of choice, but wonder when you would choose to turn PDCC off
