Thats a great choice. I was thinking about something illegal like the new Aston Martin British Racing Green that they use on the F1 team. Not sure if you can do that to a Porsche but for sure this color would look amazing.
Just a pro tip - the exclusive design taillights are misleading on the configurator. They “look” smoked out - but they’re actually just clear taillights. Essentially looking more white than black.
I think I've seen that when you select the exclusive design taillights it makes the backing of the light black making it appear darker on the new GT3 rather than on the usual cars.
Problem is the resale value which will be too crazy if you weren’t fortunate to secure a allocation for it. I still think the turbo S is worth it. You still Get to smoke anyone in a straight line with the top down 😂 amazing car.
I don’t know if it was your mic or you were typing a lot whilst talking but what sounded like keyboard taps the entire way through the video were driving me insane.
I have spent a lot of time on the Porsche website configuring cars. The Targa is my favorite 911. I have a uncle in California with a 70's SC targa. There is a guy in my city who drove his chalk 991.1 GT2 RS in the snowy streets. I was very suprised to see a $350K car on the snowy roads. If I were rich enough to have a track day car, it wouldn't be road legal. The best looking Porsche's I've seen for sale on-line are always the paint to sample versions. Thanks
thats pretty cheap for a decently spec new gt3..in Singapore its cost $388,330 british pounds..thats for the base spec for this car..i bet i many would have ordered it already
No question, the GT3 is amazing. Except for that ugly wing. It’s understandable when you need to maximize aero within a set of regulations, however, for the road, that design is entirely unnecessary.
If you feel like that just wait for the Touring to come out !However I'm afraid its academic as hardly anyone who isn't a very special customer will get a build slot.
So when do I get that influencer check in the mail for watching your video? 🤔 Left a dislike - I’ll change it to a like for 10k itll benefit both of us
@@gedam131 boring? Riviera blue is one of the boldest, rarest & most desirable porsche colours. Any porsche in Riviera also seems to sell for more money & quicker than other colours. Each to their own though 👍
The new lexus red... idk the code but most cars would look great in it.. if I ever got a car and wanted it red I would look no further.. every time I see one it just sets off the lines so well...
You’ve got similar taste to Me - I’d leave it guards red personally. Or if PTS then Mazda do a metallic red that looks really nice...enjoyed the ride though 👍
AMAZ-ZING ! ! ! super lucky too. here in Sydney we are waiting 12-16 months for a GTS..... Obviously zee germans think very little of porsche lovers downhere :( its shame but the wait is real !!!
Awesome spec! The only thing I would have chosen differently is PCCB. Not a wise choice for a track car IMO. Yes they are lighter than steel brakes, but your running costs will be way higher with them (pads and especially rotors). Even proper race cars such as GT3 Cup cars are fitted with steel brakes...
Should've ticked the 6spd Manual option no matter what, like you would never ever legally own a pistol (North Ireland can but only 22 rimfire so do argue) or semi-auto centrefire rifle in UK. Those things should be preserved.
Both colors (Red or Blue) look great. Not a fan of the yellow calipers on either. If you’re getting ceramics for benefits and not appearance, black is cleaner and newer looking. Just a thought. Jealous!!!!
Aluminum look fuel filler cap. Plastic painted to look like aluminum. Not sure I'd want the ceramic brakes on a track car. Maintenance cost very high if you're doing a lot of laps. Aluminum pedals missed or are they standard?
Is it funny to u guys that the most desirable feature of a new 911 is a custom color? Nothing will add more value than getting a custom color even if it's not as good looking as a factory color. A fully loaded porche may go for less than a base model in an off color.. imo making a car 1 of 1 because of an odd color and that making the car more valuable makes no sense to me. It is cool that they dont charge more for the pdk vs the manual. That may be one of the reasons that most 911s in the us are ordered in manual, despite the pdk being faster shifting than even the most experienced drivers. Idk if tanner is beside you in the manual.. you'll probably do just as well or better if you have the pdk.. the thing is a technological marvel.. and it doesn't cost a dime more.. I find that suprising.. when I heard most of them were ordered with manuals I assumed it was due to cost.. nope- dudes just wanna brag that they're not as fast so they can have a more tactile and immersive experience.. that's dumb. Unless your like this guy and your gonna have both soon enough anyways.
You have a great channel and presence. I commented on your crayon video how you succumbed to peer pressure when you picked up the 6-speed. I see you perking up when you spec the PDK on this one. Be honest, one transmission only, choice?
I'm assuming this is a very late reveal as the PTS slots were given out in December i.e deposits paid and colours locked in December. I know this because i wanted to change my colour once the car was revealed and was told that i can not. Did you have your slot in December or do you get preferential treatment because you are special?
PTS. Paint to Sample, or “PTS,” refers to any out-of-range color used on a modern Porsche and is considered to be one of the most desirable options on a collectible 911, almost regardless of color.
Hello I just ordered in dark gray but I choose sport seat (more confortevole) and not the carbon ceramic brake as my use will be more on the road. Why you choose the ceramic brake? 😁
I love those Black calipers as something different! and not sure why but it seems to make the car look more squat visually which is awesome! Perhaps has something to do with your eye not being drawn toward the caliper and you notice the lack of wheel gap?? Either way. Love this w Black calipers :)
Voodoo blue or gulf blue 🤔 with the satin black wheels /carbon roof etc Or Irish green gold wheels black callipers black carbon roof etc understated but cool
Go for the manual please, when I grow up and be able to drive and buy a car I would like to be able to drive a manual, if people like you buy Pdk they will disappear
Is it just me or does anyone else think it’s weird that he just got the text but has an Omaze plug ready to fit into the impromptu on-the-fly response vid? Sorry, this one just doesn’t ring true to me. Feels like he knew about it for a few days. In any event, going to be a pretty neat spec.
Congrats James, good look picking out your PTS colours, saw a Forest Green (Aurum wheels) GT2RS that looked really nice, think it might suit a 992 GT3 with the carbon roof option.
Lovely build, and thank you for sharing your thougths. Personally I think I would had kept the roof in car color. Never been a fan of black roofs myself.
I’d spec race-tex sunvisors to match with the headliner. Standard visors are vinyl 😳
I think PTS Oak Green metallic would go great on this!
Thats a great choice. I was thinking about something illegal like the new Aston Martin British Racing Green that they use on the F1 team. Not sure if you can do that to a Porsche but for sure this color would look amazing.
@@finnm6249 you Probably could if Porsche Can get a sample of the colour
The one millionth 911 was painted a special shade of green that looked like the PTS Irish green.
@@bicyclist2 have Seen it in the museum, looked awesome
yes with the gold wheels
Just patiently waiting for someone to buy the new gt3 in Rubystone Red
Me too, it’s definitely the best pts color!
It's the color I'd choose if I had the opportunity lol
Same here

We all know they make the lights clear at the back, and it definitely does smoke them out more
the cost isn’t anywhere near as bad as i was thinking
Exactly! This is such an AMAZING car and it is under $200k WHAT?
It's my dream car alongside an Aventador S roadster
Porsche is known for being great at price/performance ratio. They are the best!
Is the price in the USA announced ?
Is it just me or is the whole 911 range just dead now apart from the GT3 & GT2 which are exciting.
You can get a 992 Carrera w/ an Aerokit for $107K. No better deal than that.
I dont think they are! Ive seen A LOT of normal 911’s here in The Netherlands. I think they are pretty well sold :)
The Carrera is criminally underrated.
@@allan2k195 No doubt they are good cars, just I feel they are soooo sameish every time they bring out a new one.

The fuel caps are aluminium look plastic recently purchased one for my car , nevertheless look nice
No auto-dimming mirrors?! That was a miss, there's nothing I miss more from my old S4 than that feature.
How many porsche's have you bought in order to get a slot ?
not enough, but it doesn't work like that for tossers like this!
Strange crackling or tapping on the audio?!
My Focal monitors tell me this is the popper on the jacket collar 🤭
Sounds like a computer mouse
Go for Arena red metallic!!! Would look awesome 😃
I was thinking the same thing. Also reminds me of the 458 Speciale he had previously
I never heard of that color before, so I googled image'd it and my god.... it's beautiful! I'd love to see a 992 gen GT3 in that color. Very classy!
993Turbo launch color. Remember seeing that on track when the first car came to Norway after launch. I was just WOWOWOWOW!
I don’t know if it was your mic or you were typing a lot whilst talking but what sounded like keyboard taps the entire way through the video were driving me insane.
Yup that got quite annoying once I noticed it 😂
Turns out to be the popper on the jacket 🤣
I thought I had a ad in one of my tabs...
I thought it was the Porsche sales guy typing the huge bill...
Interesting about the two types of fire extinguisher. Wasn’t aware of that.

Why is Porsche so cheap in GB, here in Germany we are paying like
190 000£-200 000£ for the same spec.
In Australia add another 33% luxury car tax +5% euro tariff ontop of that :(
thats pretty cheap for a decently spec new gt3..in Singapore its cost $388,330 british pounds..thats for the base spec for this car..i bet i many would have ordered it already
If going pts got to go balls out, Mint Green or Ruby Stone Red for me
👀
@@MrJWW have I unintentionally called it 😂😂😂
Ruby Stone Red is a must with PTS!!
No question, the GT3 is amazing. Except for that ugly wing. It’s understandable when you need to maximize aero within a set of regulations, however, for the road, that design is entirely unnecessary.
The wing is still growing on me as well. I fully understand that it's a far superior wing than the old style but it does take some getting used to
They should of left the wing like the 991.2 gt3rs, that’s a good looking wing
If you feel like that just wait for the Touring to come out !However I'm afraid its academic as hardly anyone who isn't a very special customer will get a build slot.
Why dont you wait for the GT3rs? If you want it for track and wont buy the manual anyway.
Because he wants to attract traffic to his channel now !
British racing green with a dark brown interior if you go pts
Great for the touring as well. Or brewster green
I would love some dark green metallic PTS color. Would look superb with the black accents and gold wheels or yellow brake calipers
Hey James, can you borrow some Blu Elettrico from Ferrari?
Can't wait to see your PTS colour!! Congratulations on the build slot 🍾
Course he’s got a slot 💪 NAILED THE SPEC!!! Nice work James

Cmon man, Oak green metallic on golden rims..
Agreed.
Oak or Irish green. Or same purple as your old rs6.
Agreed!
If you’re lucky enough to be allocated a pts car, defo has to be Riviera blue. Best porsche colour ever imo.
Bit boring if you ask me. This red pops way more!
@@gedam131 boring? Riviera blue is one of the boldest, rarest & most desirable porsche colours. Any porsche in Riviera also seems to sell for more money & quicker than other colours. Each to their own though 👍

British Racing Green
Too similar to Shark blue in my opinion. If you get PTS you go big or you go home
Not available on USA Porsche website yet. Can't play along while watching 😭
Congratulations, quite an accolade! For me...Viola Metallic with silver wheels.
@Abdul Rahman nah, they are ugly and look like cheap aluminium
i hope you bring ultra-violet back man that would be sick in the newer gt3
I like the carbon roof. As lame as it would be to cheap out, if I was on the fence about it, I'd skip it and wrap the roof.
Are you going to sell the turbo or are you planning to have 3 911's?
When you get this, I'll buy your turbo s from you
Just realized how good the huge wing is as a computer desk
146k is alot, but i Norway where i live the GT3 is 300-320k£. Soo 146k is not that bad😅
🤯
A deep cherry red would really complement this car. Besides, i would go for the colored belts! Good luck! 👍🏼

just wait for the GT3 RS mostly if u go for the PDK. You say that you want a proper race car ! Just GO FOR THE GT3RS !!
My 991 xenon headlights do the same little leveling dance when you start it. Think they all do that
Fairly sure, PTS is now significantly more than £5000, that was 991.2 price, pretty sure its more like £8-10k on the 992, especially the GT3

I hope you didnt forget the auto dimming mirrors... Mandatory. Any van behind a car like this has their lights aligned with the mirrors...
Rear camera comes standard. Park Assist option includes parking sensors, at least that’s how it works for North American configuration
Voodoo blue or gulf blue 🤔 with the satin black wheels /carbon roof etc
Or Irish green gold wheels black callipers black carbon roof etc understated but cool
Irish Green, or Brewster Green, or the forgotten but somewhat risky, Smyrna Green. No metallics. Bring back back greens other than Lizard.
i know theres PTS & CXX but i swear porsche needs to really release more colors on their standard config list...
The red will look good expecially with plenty of black accents... For me I would have been torn between the blue and red .
Go for the manual please, when I grow up and be able to drive and buy a car I would like to be able to drive a manual, if people like you buy Pdk they will disappear
Nardo/Battleship Grey or Green with Yellow/Carbon accents would look super cool & timeless
Can we get an update on the 991.2 GT3 like maintained costs through 31,000 miles
Not manual? Oh man, you may loose about 100k on the long run 20 years from now on its value when manuals are nowhere to be found.
If only I had the cash for the optional extras I'd buy a nearly new Golf Gti! ;-)
green body and red motorsport stripes/calipers/black and red wheels black glasses/carbon roof
Buy an Oval Fire Extinguisher. Contact them and ask it to match your car extinguisher.
