Agreed. Carmine Red, 20” black wheels, Sport Chrono , PSE. Job done! ;)

Isn’t it the same engine as the Gen II GTS anyway? :geek:

Like for like once I spec up an S it’s only another £4K more for the GTS
Would rather have the GTS for that money
It’s basically a discounted turbo!
Both great cars though

^^^ Agreed, but if one didn’t want/need all of the Gen III bells & whistles, the gap could be around £10k.

E.g. Gen III S (with Gen II GTS engine) in Carmine Red with PSE on 20” wheels and non-air suspension with PASM and a couple of black trim bits = ‘only’ £57k. ;)

Yep, so for me a Gen 3 S makes more sense over a Gen 2 GTS. Plus I'm struggling to make sense of the Gen 3 GTS pricing, too much increase for stuff that isn't important to me.

^^^ Yep, luckily there’s flexibility to spec whichever of the three variants appeals, to make a bespoke Porsche for you!

As you say, some of the stuff that’s now standard on a GTS may not appeal to everyone (e.g. they may not want air suspension, or 21” wheels, or PSCBs etc).
