Hi everyone,


Picked up the new CGTS a week or so ago. What a fantastic GT driving experience !


This is our first Posrche and first impressions are outstanding in all departments compared to previous steads. Will post more updates as the experience continues.


Cheers,

Wow, looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations.......

Isn't red exterior with black accents an explosive combination? What a beauty!!!!


You really think that you enjoy the driving experience? Wait till you get used to it. You will love it even more!


Enjoy and Congrats!!!

Wow looks fantastic and I like the extra options, especially the red GTS interior. The guards red is really striking. Just like the one out of the GTS brochure on the road to Hana.

What other extras did you option?

I notice you are right hand drive, where abouts in Australia are you? Hope there is a road like Hana near by.

Stunning, congrats!

The driver seat is on the wrong side, I would return it to Porsche to get it fixed!!

Nice ride!!

no I think you will find correct thought processes would conclude that the steering wheel is exactly in the right place

stunning car in every way - enjoy in good health and safety

had my CGTS 4 weeks - still like a kid in a candy store over it and still going out for "sensible" drives for no reason other than to drive - a great car then

see - he did order the wheel on the correct side

Absolutely gorgeous, reminds me of my ‘84 911SC in GR where it all began for me.

Had a visit last Fri. w/ a bud that’s an SM @ a significant Premier dealer & walked away deciding to wait for a 2020 Cayman.

Pics. like this have me reconsidering my decision, not to mention the ‘19 build we discussed was for a CGTS in GR, lava orange or GT silver.

What other extras did you option?

Went to town a little on the options :


PDLS Plus
SPASM (-20mm)
Carmine Red GTS Interior Pack
Illuminated Entry Guards in Carbon
Carbon Gear Lever
Folding Mirrors
Gloss Black Door Handles
Gloss Black 'Wing'
Embossed Porsche Crest Centre Armrest
Bose Sound System
Sports Steering Wheel (Leather)
Smoking Package (Only for the 12 volt socket and it finishes the centre console IMO)
Footnet in Passenger Footwell
Tinted Windows
Full PPF


Thats about it from memory. AU cars have a good standard spec (including PCM, Apple Car Play, Nav, Cruise, etc)

well they have to compensate you one way or the other for the driver seat thing
Do you get connect or connect+?
That's a huge difference when you have the SC.

Hi Johan - connect + as standard in the AU cars.

Absolutly gorgeous! Wish you many safe miles. Is that Carmine red?
After seeing the pictures I will opt for the Embossed Porsche Crest Centre Armrest too =)
My config is almost the same without the blacked door handles and rear spoiler.
Oh and the seat position doesn't matter, it's a manual, real men drive stick isn't it @ Johan ;p

Oh no!! Guess I will not get my can of Surströmming :crying:

 

[Ian718]

Beautiful beautiful car. You certainly went to town on those options!

As a fellow aussie, have you joined the PFA (Porsche Forums Australia) website? Helpful bunch. Worth it at the very least for the recommendations of twisty roads to drive on imo ?

Had a visit last Fri. w/ a bud that’s an SM @ a significant Premier dealer & walked away deciding to wait for a 2020 Cayman.

Hi, would you care to elaborate on why you decided to wait for a 2020 model year?

Thanks

 

[johan]

Oh no!! Guess I will not get my can of Surströmming :crying:

LMAO


You could conquer the World with a couple of open cans!
It do smell awfull, there aint words enough to describe it.
We do have alot fun watching people on youtube trying to eat it, the can should be open outdoors or under water


Give me your adress and i will send you a couple of cans >

 

[cbarra]

Beautiful exterior color combination. I have the same on my CS! I have not seen a lot of Carmine Red vehicles in my area.

 

[Aus_GTS]

Thanks everyone ...


@CupraLeon : The colour is Guards Red, the shade gives it that darkish tinge


@Ian718 : Thanks for the tip regarding PFA - will join - looking forward to it.


Cheers all.

@Aus_GTS Thanks, another question: when I configure the Embossed Porsche Crest Centre Armrest in the configurator, it comes with black stitching, did you have to select something extra? Or is it just the configurator...
