Finally a GTS

[sparkmacan]

Finally after 2 years of looking, sitting on the Fence & purchasing cars I didn't really want I have today picked up a GTS,

Wow what a car- purchased it privately , 66 Plate with only 5 k on the clock.

Love the interior, Pebble / Agate Grey..needs some protector on the Leather, good job its not going to be a Daily !!

Welcome and congratulations on the purchase..

Yes these are amazing vehicles. Wishing you many happy (s)miles in the car...

And this is an amazing forum. Most if not all questions will be answered..

Congratulations. I have ordered a GTS but it won’t land for a while yet. What’s the exhaust note like, what options do you get as standard over and above the S and does it live up to the “drivers car” tag?

Can only speak for the phase 1 GTS but the exhaust note is great, especially on start-up.

Briefly, the standard bits were sports exhaust, PASM, sports design kit (front bumper / spoiler) specific interior, 20” black spiders, lowered suspension and bigger brakes. I put around £10 K of options on mine and don’t regret a single penny!

Here’s a link to the original brochure...

Yours looks superb. Thanks for the brochure. I guess the good news for me is some of the options I ticked are standard on GTS as I had to use Configurator on S as its not out now.

It really is a good looking motor

Congratulations #sparkmacan. The illuminated door sill guards look great. (A near £500 option on a factory order! )

Ehh?? I didn't think it was possible to get on a waiting list for a GTS just now, never mind order one. The refreshed GTS is likely a year away from what I understand.

As I found this summer when trying to get on a list at an OPC for a facelifted S, different OPC's have different attitudes to taking "pre-orders". Some accept deposits on the basis if the car never appears or is not to taste, they are refundable. Others go to other extreme only accepting a deposit once post formal Porsche announcement, or official book opened or they know they have an allocation. Some just make a note of names until the formal announcement


Although no doubt the extras on the GTS may follow a similar line to pre-facelift, there could be additions or deletions.
