Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

Big difference between this and the previous gen is that it was very hard for people to get such a horrible combination with the lack of options on the F8Xs. Now it seems like anybody's poor taste can be made a reality in a G8x.

My Porsche dealer had the same color combo but was a G82. It actually sold pretty quick, but that was last year when I think inventory was quite a bit tighter. It is a truly hideous color combo.

From the rear it doesn’t look bad. The front though………

That is truly crazy, makes me want to offer 20k under MSRP and see if they respond.

I guess you can always ask is what the dealer is thinking……

Here's my build code if anyone is interested: PRIT1AP8

Hopefully a bunch drop of the list and it moves somewhat quick. That is why I ended up in a GTS. I was only 4th on the list and it still took 13 months to get an allocation. Mine is a pretty small dealer in flyover country though to so I’m guessing they don’t get a lot of allocations compared to a bigger market.

Edit: I like it Jockey! You really can’t go wrong with Guards Red with red seat belts etc. I really like the checkered sport Tex seat inserts, that’ll look really good!

Maybe think about adding the premium package for the surround view cameras and ambient lighting. Also maybe consider the roof transport system and dash cam pre wire even if you don’t use them. May be attractive for resale down the road and they are cheap, but can’t be added later. That’s my only unsolicited thoughts, otherwise looks awesome!

Little bit of both

Thanks, all makes sense.

When this build finally happens it should be a 992.2 so I'm curious what will change between then and now.

I was thinking the same, will be interesting to see what they change. There is a good chance it will be a 2025 so could be a couple rounds of tweaks in there from Porsche.

I ordered in January and the configurator has changed a bit even since then.

From that angle it kind of reminds me of my e36///M3 minus the flares.

You can get a G82 CSL for $150k right here:

So far, the confirmed changes are interior speedometer being full digital now and some minor exterior styling change.

I was more referencing options on the configurator and how they are potentially bundled (premium package) plus availability etc.

But this is an interesting video, thanks. It sounds like shit at idle, but on the track. He looked like he was moving but wasn’t using all of the track, scary to think it’s got a lot more to give than what was shown!

But what’s that if you having one on order too :P

6mt's tank in value... really only the Xdrive Comps are the ones that have a very solid resale... that 6mt car is now 3 years old...

All the comp Xdrive's that I see sitting at dealers that are overpriced haven't moved for months... i don't know where this fallacy on car comes in and leaves the next day is coming from... market is flooded with these cars used right now

I don’t mind the digital gauges just as long as they look like traditional dials.

I saw one a couple weeks ago in Zandvoort blue. Color looked better in person. It did have road presence, caught my eye immediately.

I'd have to disagree. That price for 6MT mainly has to do with the disastrous color. I reckon the same spec/mileage would fetch 65+ in black or blue.

Looks like even more than that...there's something sketch about the yellow one.

Anyone else get money from Porsche regarding the class action law suit? I believe it pertains to worse-than-advertised-fuel-economy. I received $200 for simply applying. Easy cheese.

GT3 RS sighting. PTS?

I did! $100 for a CPO 2009 Cayman purchased in 2012. I could not believe it was legit.

Agreed, accident maybe in its history. Seems pretty cheap even for the year/color combo etc. Maybe it’s BMW school car?
