I am just wondering, is there really a long line for turbo/s at the 991 price? Or Porsche is just waiting to see how many orders are going in before starting dealer allocations. 120s in 2 years, lets hope not, that is just depressing.

I am also not a big fan of the default rims on the Turbo. Maybe if they were painted in black they would look better. In any case, I'm probably going to switch to the Turbo S rims instead as they look much nicer!

I think they are going to look much sharper in person, the chrome/satin surface contrast with dark gray seems to be the design trends for the past few years. I has similar wheels, they look much better in person than in pictures. The "dashes" around the outer rim is too much details for me, but the rest looks good

The turbo seems a far better value compared to the turbo S. You can spec one without pdcc, and ceramics for just AED 560K (sport chrono included & must). A AED 100K less than turbo s. If you also want pdcc, still you can do so for AED 90K less than the turbo s. For the add'l $$$ you get from 0-100km/hr 0.1 sec quicker with the S. The engine is 3.8 either way. Just my view point.

Cheers,
I spec it online daily for free There is no rush to spec out the car now, there isn't any allocation that I know of. These guys are getting their cars much sooner than the US

I'm in the same boat with aamersa on this one. The TTS is 100K more expensive here too. Also, I don't really need the PCCB or PDCC. The 2 tone black/red interior is very inviting though! Sucks how they limit it to the S only~!

Interesting, didn't know the two tone black/red was exclusive to the turbo S. Makes me love my car even more lol

When are you guys expecting your first cars? In the Middle East, I'm told it's October/November at the earliest.

I specced a turbo with the same options I chose for the Turbo S and the turbo came in cheaper than 38K DHS. That said if I chose a turbo with no options I would be perfectly content but since the turbo S comes pretty much fully loaded, I decided to go with that option.

My guess is a dealer car should be here at the end of Dec or early Jan for west cost. Maybe other has more firm time frame than me.

Apparently, there is an embargo of Oct 5, and no cars will be released before then worldwide.
