My 992 is nearly here!

[Tracky]

Same as us. When Mrs was looking to change her Boxster she tried the alternatives but deep down she knew she wanted the Macan and Macan she got which she does like

Her getting the dog car means I could get the sports car so 992 it was

I was going to go crayon but decided it just wasn’t quite for me for a daily car and looked funny in different lights to me ! It was a tough decision

Build due to complete 10/9/19

Thats great - looking forward the photos! Just in time before we start deciding / lock down proper. I still think white looks good on a 911 - I'm a teenager of the 90's

Looking forward to it !

911 looks great in white, black, carmine and GT Silver IMO.

In fairness it looks great in most colours - even yellow

Slight thread revival, how you getting on with the car?

Mine goes in to build early Sept so I’m starting to get excited

I bottled out on the crayon in the end and white metallic white

I'm about 3500 miles into her as we speak, it's been an amazing past few months!
Looks wise she is stunning, I get people everywhere talking to me about it and taking pictures.

From a driving point of view, the car has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. When cruising long distances the car is very quiet and easy to drive, but when given the chance to put your foot down the engine screams in a nice way beyond 4k revs upwards. It's not a GT3 scream which can be heard miles around but internally it sounds really nice and with the exhaust opening up the burbles in Sport Mode are now louder than when I first got the car.
The car picks up speed deceptively quick which can be pretty dangerous.

I optioned the front lift but in everyday driving the car hasn't really needed it apart from when parking in certain drives with dips in. I've scraped the front plastic splitter quite a few times with the lift up so glad I didn't get the Sport Design front bumper.
I am loving the rear axle steering especially in town and fast driving, makes the car really nimble.

My only downsides are that I've got a door panel rattle when the speakers are turned up middle to high volume which is annoying. I haven't taken it back yet as it's summer and want to keep the car!

My highlight so far was doing the NC500 in May. I never knew roads could be so good! Jeremy Clarkson wasn't wrong when he said these are the best roads in the world. It's like the whole place was designed by a petrol head!
This trip alone was about 1800 miles so got a lot of time to get to know the car properly. It's ability to cruise meant I actually embraced a 7 hour drive to and from Scotland with ease.
Grip levels are extremely good and I found myself almost getting overly confident going into and out of turns! RWS definitely helped its agility in the corners.
The roads in the Scottish Highlands allow you to really open up the car. I still remember the sound of the engine zinging at high revs in my head going round some beautiful roads at high speed with hardly anyone in site. I also managed to do a few launch controls, it's brutally fast!
I did the NC500 element over 3 days after being advised to do it in May due to overcrowding and bugs in the summer months, it was a great tip. We had a great amount of time were the roads were very quiet which allowed us to "explore the car's capabilities" shall we say!
You do often come across a few caravans and slower cars but the speed in this car allows you to overtake with ease.

I've got a drive across Europe to Italy in Aug/Sep so will post a few pics after that trip.

Tracky, enjoy the car when it comes, it is mind blowingly good in my eyes! Shame you didn't join the crayon gang but it looks good in any colour!
I'll leave you with a few pics from Scotland

Hey Antsjey,

Just looking over your pics as we are debating on colour, Crayon, Miami Blue or Guards red. I am75% on the Crayon but unsure what do with the interior, we are goiong for the sport tex and crayon stitching - cant decide on crayon belts and white clocks or Guards Red belts and Guards Red clocks (like you have). What do you think of the red after several months of ownership?

Have added RWS to the spec and possibly the tinted LED Matrix headlights - which are new, but is it a waste or money against either standard or LED Main with PDLS - would you spec Matrix again?

Your 992 is a fantastic and looks 'classy' and is understated yet different. Feel free to add more snaps.

I am steering away from loud colours, we have a VG Macan GTS - worried we will be the grey family (with my hair going greyer by the day).

We have the Porsche Experience booked for October to go back there and really check it. I think RWS will be great from what I can read.

Hi McNallys,

Thanks for the props!
I obviously think crayon is a great idea! So many people seem to be going for it, obviously I'm biased but it does look soo good in the flesh, gets so many people asking about it and it differs in different light.
As for interior I nearly went Sport tex and crayon, but after debating it several times with my sales guy we decided to keep it black with crayon stitching and then do the red accent pieces. I think I was trying too hard to jazz up the interior as when you think black interior you naturally think it's boring, but it's anything but. The all leather interior with crayon stitching, red dials and belts looks just perfect to me and wouldn't change anything if specced again. Now if you could have the houndstooth interior that's another thing altogether......
I do think the crayon belts and white dials would look good too....... I think the red belts just go well with red brake calipers and the whole theme.

I do love RWS and the lights are bloody amazing. Standard LED with PDLS are great but these matrix lights are crazy good. At night they amaze me how they can light up the whole road in front of me with high beams and just cut out the moving car in front of me. For me I'd get them again, amazing.

Funny how you may be the grey family, my brother in law and sister have 2 crayon cars so together we are the crayon family haha! Pics attached for you, I've tried to do some in differing light situations! Team crayon!

Great pics

Love the 3 together
