Hi All

After a fair wait I picked up my GTS a couple of days ago. Not had the best experience with the dealer to be honest but generally impressed with the car so far. The overrun sound is addictive :evil: No fancy spec compared to some but I love the look of the red leather. Seems to be a bit of a marmite choice as not many about. The classic alloys in satin platinum look the part to me as well but again not many about that aren't black. I'm clearly no budding photographer....

I’ve never really gelled with the sport classic alloys, but is satin platinum they look fantastic.

Good looking car, I think the red seat inserts are perfect, not a complete red out, just a little to lift the interior from the grey norm. Sports classics are a great wheel and so easy to keep clean compared with some. Enjoy.

Cheers guys. I'm really happy with it so far. Trying to get some miles on it so I can open it up a bit more. The power delivery is different to what I've been used to so getting used to that but it feels like it will be quick if pushed.

Looks good. I had agate grey metallic and red seats with my previous Macan. Sports classics are a good looking wheel.

+1 I too find full red too much but especially as I don't like opening roofs, I find the red seat do enough to lift the interior.

I thought about full leather but then the front below dashboard panels and door panels become red. It is a pity you do not appear to be able to have full leather with red leather seats and black leather panels

Looking good and agree the touch of red better for me than full on red interior. We have classics on our Cayman, and they work well with GT Silver, also on yours too. Power band opens up 3.5-5k and is very strong, rarely find myself crossing 5.5k. 1800mile break in for me up to 4k and that gives plenty of pull too - great engine and sound improves with miles.

Totally agree, and dare I say, (not wishing to upset anyone), I also believe they really suit and go well with Volcanic.
Enjoy
