The only suspension option on the S or GTS is P17 (Sport Suspension w/LSD). You can also order the LSD (220, I think) separate. Interestingly, the non-S has the same options in the configurator, but the P17 goes from $950 to $3040 and requires that you select a 19-inch wheel option.

Confusing. If the 030 is standard on the GTS, why have P17 as an option? Why not just have the 220 LSD? And since P17 and 220 on the S cost the same as the GTS, does that mean the S has the 030 also standard?

PS - the PCNA marketing doc announcing the GTS features and options has no mention of the sport suspension as standard

The Porsche USA site photos of the GTS show it with no sunroof.

Is there a sunroof delete option?

Congrats on the car. The GTS is the PERFECT 911 IMO.....

Not all came out great - the delivery bay lighting was competing with direct sunlight, and we had just grabbed the camera and didn't have the right flash/filters. Some are pretty decent.
That is one gorgeous car, Gravedgr, and I can't fault the photos either given the ad lib environment. Of course that car would look great in a handheld snapshot from a Brownie. [Wonder how many of us are old enough to have actually used one of those...]

Sadly, not in the U.S.

Mine just finished production last week! Almost went with white, but in the end chose aqua blue (coupe) with the sport wheels. The wait continues.

Did you configure the sports suspension ?

If so, how does it feel compared to "non sports suspension"? I'm working on a GTS config and was with my Porsche sales rep yesterday. He told me that during Porsche education on the GTS, they suggested test driving a 997.2 with PASM off to get the feel of what the sports suspension would be like...more firmer, etc, etc. I drove a C4S with PASM off and it felt fine. Any thoughts from your actual GTS feel would be much appreciated.

I would say IMHO for $950 SPASM with LSD is a best option ever Porsche offers. sport shifter is a thing that probably best to try at a dealer first - most people write that they like it, for me it seemed not very essential.

Imho staddard 5 bolt wheels, spasm and better sport adaptive seats (not standard or electric ones) are only 3 options GTS really needs, all the rest is OK. And, naturally, I would get it with PDK+SC probably, despite personal preference to 6sp.

The GTS w/SPASM is firm but compliant. It is not nearly as rough as my .1 with PASM off, in either mode. I'd recommend it to everyone not buying the car to look pretty in.

GTS can off the truck today. Here are shots of it unpacked though not clean. I will take delivery tomorrow or Wednesday (Tuesday is pretty crazy busy for me).









Absolutely love this car.

Sweet!!! My "incoming" GTS is the same color, only it's a coupe with sport wheels. In fact, it just landed at the port yesterday. If you get a chance, post some pics in the sun...would love to see that blue beam!!!

Cab's do not have the lowered sports suspension option. It does have the button but should be at "stock" GTS ride height.

Nice car! The GTS looks best in dark colors which reduce the contrast to the bottom dark plastic bits.
