I tend to agree. The GT3 with Touring Pack is definitely growing on me. :)

I reckon Porsche have missed a trick; I recall when the Countach came out it was a £6K cost option to delete the wing😉

Most unlike Porsche not to charge to not fit something!

Congrats to both (and Arif)👍👍

Sorry my earlier comment was not a reflection of disliking the Touring (I like it a lot, just less than the winged :lol: ) - more an objection to the comment that you would only buy a wing if you were going to flip it...that's just nonsense

Very very beautiful - I nearly went GT3 touring pack and would have done had I not had a 'normal' GT3 with it's big wing. Figure I should buy the traditional version before I venture out to something a bit different.

You can't really make a bad choice with the GT3.

Congrats Martin.

Congrats Martin. Absolutely stunning.
Fantastic choice and having just returned from another full day at PEC I forgot how much I love a manual gearbox. 👍

Touring pack seems to have been more popular than Porsche originally suggested. Closest thing to a 911R.
Enjoy

Hi Kas. Glad you had fun at PEC. :)

What car/s with manual transmission did you drive?

Could it be that significant numbers of Porsche customers prefer the understatement of being ‘wingless’: that the Touring is a more useable - anonymous, even - definitely less ‘in yer face’ that any of the track day models that bare biggish wings.
