Well, I have collected my new GTS on Tuesday 17th December exactly 2 months after the order was placed. The full spec is as follows C2 GTS PDK GT Silver Adaptive Sports Seats Black Leather Interior with Carmine Red GTS Interior Alcantara Package (This is the full GTS interior package) Full LED headlights inc PDLS + Park Assist Front & Rear Air Intake Grilles and Rear Apron Painted GT Silver PDCC 20 Inch Turbo S Wheels in Black Carmine Red Instrument Dial Heated Seats Cruise Control Fire Extinguisher Sport Design Steering Wheel in Leather instead of Alcantara Luggage Net Passenger Footwell Light Design Package Speed Limit Indicator PDK Selector in Carbon Mobile Phone Prep BOSE Surround Sound System It was a lovely sunny day but due to the position of the car in the showroom I was shooting into the sun which made things a bit tricky but hopefully the results represent the car as it was on collection Here it is before the "unveiling" by the OPC Dealer Principal and his team
After the unveiling
The GTS Interior option has to be configured with the leather + Alcantara interior which gives more Leather and more Alcantara than the standard car plus you get all the colour keyed stitching, Carbon trim, and colour keyed rev counter, note the wheel rim is Leather as I prefer the feel to Alcantara
This was outside just before we left for our first drive taking in part of the route we drove on the 997/991 Register Christmas Party weekend, it's not quite so clean now [&o]
I've not had the car long enough to give it a full evaluation and with only 16 miles on the clock there was no way I was going to open it up until everything has bedded down and the engine run in, however, first impressions are it's absolutely superb, seems a lot quieter inside than my C2 which I think maybe due to the mix of Alcantara and Leather and the engine sound (up to 5000 only so far) is so silky smooth compared to the 3.4 I had before. I wasn't sure about the lettering on the back, ideally I would have liked to see just 911 GTS below PORSCHE but that wasn't an option, anyway there are enough GTS badges on the car to ensure I don't forget what I'm driving and having now seen the result I rather like the Black lettering. The Speed Limit Indicator is brilliant as it no longer relies on the GPS data and uses the same camera that the LED PDLS+ headlights use to automatically adjust the beam. So the next task is to run it in ready for the first big trip of 2015 which will probably be the Porsche Factory Tour in the Spring, until then it's the Cotswolds. [
