… 911 (992) GT3 Touring almost ready for pickup. She still has to receive a full transparent car wrapping and additional ceramic sealing. So about ten more days of waiting time. Best, V. ...  

Makes me wish I didn't pass on gt3... damn being rear seats.

...and the best version of the car sans wing : )

Had the chance to drive a factory car at the Porsche Experience Center Hockenheimring for an hour or so. It’s pretty impressive.

Is there any truth to the origins of the color coming from seeing a yacht of similar color or not this color. A real stunner. Congratulations again.

Not sure about that. But it’s a color with great Porsche heritage; it was already used on 356 models.

Just a guess. Photo from an internet search ...  

although I prefer it with a wing (best in my back mirror ;-) ) ...  

The wing on the 992 GT3 RS will be a monster.

do to knee problems i could not manage the clutch anymore; and i was also getting too old to drive it at full speed and risk on track and autobahn. It's a dangerous car with top speed 320 km/h but nearly no assist systems

From a recent Motor Trend review... "The GT3 has to be the most attractive 911." Targa fans might disagree, but the newest GT3 looks fabulous, even in muted orange sherbet (actual color name: Lava Orange). And that wing! A piece of functional sculpture. A...  

Ed Loh! Tell your team to stop sending me mixed messages! They should be saying any GT3 is good!

What a beautiful color. I am not sure how you can resist from picking it up tout de suite 😊

Huge congrats. Especially for going wingless. I‘m heading for the museum in Stuttgart next weekend. Looking forward to diving into the history.

On most cars, I didn’t even consider it. And sometimes, they just don’t offer it. For example, there has been a PTS order stop since 10 February 2022 and it can now only be ordered for deliveries after October 2022.

My winged 991.2 GT3 says hello… ...  

Although it's really hard to get Paint to sample Porsche cars in California!

Apparently they get a "small" allocation of GT3s, about 15% of all 911s are GT3s for NorCal dealers. They said roughly 1 in 6-7 cars is a GT3. So getting a GT3 build slot is already hard. And then they said that the factory's paint shop can't handle too m... 

PTS is not per allocation. you just need to have 6 months gap from now to the production date then you can request PTS. there are 6 PTS 992GT3 in our group all in norcal. this is very different than 991 era or 997 era PTS, were there are specific PTS allo... 

Just goes to show, the dealer doesn't give me accurate information!

Is that the Komodo bike rack? And what color is yours?

pastel orange, yes that's a Komodo rack.

Thanks for letting me know! What a machine!

It's a beautiful machine! Is your garage bursting at the seams? You've got so many cool cars in your stable!

The focus clearly is on watch collecting. With limited financial means, one has to make choices.

This latest 911 GT3 with double-wishbone suspension and the Lamborghini Huracan are my favorite sports cars!

I can think of some nice light blue AP dials that would go nicely
