So here are some pics of the GTS unwrapped. I took these with the iPhone and will haul out the DSLR tomorrow and take a few more with a polarizing filter. These will do for starters:
And the specs:
Exterior - Mahogany Metallic (brown with a hint of red)
Interior - Espresso Natural Leather
Top - Brown
Shift - 6 speed manual (love the auto blips on downshift)
Suspension - X73 Sport Suspension
Other options (the GTS didn't need many):
Heated and ventilated seats
20" wheels
18 way adaptive sport seats
Infotainment with Nav
Porsche enter and drive (keyless entry and start)
Sport design steering wheel
Initial impressions: Awesooooommmmmme!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! The sport suspension is not as rough as I was expecting. I drove over some plates in the road where there is some road construction going on, and it was hardly noticeable. Love the sport exhaust. In Sport+ mode it crackles and burbles like a mad bull. Wow. After driving a Boxster S with Tip for the last 13 years, I had no trouble getting the 6 speed groove back. Found myself double clutching almost instictively. Then I started playing with downshifts and noticed the automatic throttle blip happening. WOW!!!!!!
It has been a long wait, but well worth it. I am very glad that I jumped before the turbo 4 happened to the Boxster.
Did I say "WOW"? WOW!!!!
