BTW, the one and only S/T arrived at my dealer yesterday. Per the sticker in the top right it was built in late February. It took three months for it to get here. The soon-to-be owner is one of my SA’s best clients. Personally, I would have foregone the graphics, especially the gumball.

Note, I did not take the pics.

Yeah, agreed. The gumball is silly. And the white wheels are probably fine if the owner plans to just roll it into a climate controlled bubble but will look like ass the minute you start driving it.


Also the color. Jesus people, it’s a special car, order a color you can’t get on a F-150!

Still. Amazing car!

I love the idea of the 911 S/T. They took some time and made an exceptional 911 GT3 Touring.

Agree about the color but it’s possible limited color options at the time of build.

The wheels are not white actually, they are a type of silver. S/T wheels are made of magnesium and supposedly getting certain paints to properly adhere is a struggle.

The exterior color, Shore Blue Metallic is exclusive to the S/T as well.

I like the color- looks like the same color I saw on many of the press cars

Yes, it is.
I love the Heritage interior. Makes the car feel extra special to me.

Ah ok—I’d still want something with a bit more pop, but I guess it looks more interesting than those pics suggest.

Anything with some “pop” is going to cost one $21k via PTS. Go big or go home I suppose.

From my personal experience any color that stands out is a lot on a 992 given that it is a rather large car. Said colors work well on the current 718s though.
