Your Ultimate 911 GT3 Touring?

[Mr. Mercedes]

Hey guys, I've got a fun challenge...

Using the Australian configurator, I'd like you to come up with your ultimate 911 GT3 Touring specs.

1. The specs must represent your idea of a modern classic. Something you'd keep for 20+ years.
2. No PTS
3. Nominate your choice of manual or PDK
4. No more than $90k in options. The configurator makes tracking this easy.

All just for fun.

PDK, sitting in traffic isn’t fun with a manual and the crisp upshifts are fun as well.

This car is so elegant you could use it sometimes even as a daily.

I saw the green configuration in the car park of the grocery store a few minutes ago, compared to gentian blue it’s almost too muted.

The gentleman thought obviously that this car is the perfect grocery getter.

As guards red is the most famous Porsche color, this looks very sporty.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Hey @Swissbob. You're the only one playing the game! I guess you managed to read between the lines lol.

Thank you.

As much as a I love blues, I don't think I could live with one right now. Our Tanzanite M850i has left me with maintenance nightmares lol.

My current specs look something like Option 1, but I'm wondering if I should lean towards something like Option 2.

I will likely keep my Crayon GTS, but stop driving it as much, and keep this GT3 alongside for the long term.

But I'm wondering if I should consider something more like this:

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Would love to see what other GT3 specs other guys would consider 'keepers'.

This one with PDK if I’m to have just one Porsche.

If I’m minted and I’ve got a Turbo S, then I’d have a Touring with manual box.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

If I go with Oak Green Neo, I'm going to change the interior to Cohiba Brown instead of Cognac. I'm sure it wasn't an option on our configurator when I speced this last October.

Cognac

Cohiba Brown

Perhaps dark green with gold wheels is so early 2020's, but I love it.
If I could on the configurator, I'd add 2 more things:
1) Paldao wood trim on the dash, console, and gear knob.
2) Pepita or a tartan cloth insert to the seats.

I left it with the manual, but that's more of a driver's choice than anything.

I had the same thoughts about the green and gold, but it's a combination I've always loved but never got around to owning anything green. I'm usually much more subdued in colour selections.

I would consider Paldao and Tartan, but they are not available on the Australian GT3 configurator, so it's not available here.

The manual is what I've chosen, as DSG's etc. will continue to improve and this may be one of the last chance to buy an excellent manual.

 

[Swissbob]

Is this a glitch in the configurator or why is the headliner always black?

It’d look so much roomier If the headliner could be in a bright color.

I am going to spec one tonight for you!

Save for the Oak Green, none of the non PTS colors get me excited.

In person oak green looks almost too muted, but very elegant, I’d prefer something flashier.

 

[Design FIRST]

I’d prefer something flashier.

Perhaps the "Jägermeister (aka Continental) Orange" that was popular in the 1970s ?:

...or something a bit like this ?:

Baßt scho'.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Dark silver wheels could be a more modern take:

Im not a flashy guy.

In fact if I decide on Oak, I'm pretty sure it will be with dark silver, not gold, wheels.

You missed the brief Jimmy

PTS is not available unfortunately. And I am nowhere near brave enough to drive that lol.

My top 2 pics atm are Jet Black and Oak Green Neo.

 

[Swissbob]

My top 2 pics atm are Jet Black and Oak Green Neo.

In that case Oak green with silver wheels and without black pack.

Black is the most boring color on a 911.

It’s a pity that there’s no wood inside, If you take the manual I’d always choose the wooden shifter from the 911 T.

BTW you can’t compare gentian blue with bmw tanzanite blue, the former looks even If dirty very good.
