Thanks! I am kinda sad that it came early I was planning on tracking it on the boat and obsessing over it but I guess it is better this way.

Congrats on your order! I can't wait to see photos and hear about your reaction. I am in shock and awe every day that it is really mine.

What options did you get? PM me if you want to wait until it arrives I understand.

I am upset in the European model the seat belts are black with red stitching but they didn't bring it in the US because they would have to crash test the new color.
I was sure that you had looked into the red gauges. That's a good reason for them not to be offered, I guess. Congratulations on the new Panamera and welcome to the family.

Sad? I'd switch spots with you anytime! I went with White as well but with the Espresso leather and we have very similar options so great minds think alike! Did you go with a clear front bra? windshield protection?

Yeah I definitely looked into the guages. I still wish they would have let me order them. The red seats and the guages are far enough apart no one would be the wiser.

I didn't get the clear bra. I am still thinking about it but right now I am not sure for my use case it's worth the money or the hassle.

I did get the Tire and Rim package, which includes windshield repair and dent removal.

Great color choice exterior and interior. If red was not an option espresso would certainly be the color I choose.

Awesome GTS

I love your GTS, I picked up my PGTS last weekend, white with black/carmine red. It is stunning. First white vehicle I have ever owned and with all of the black details, just blowes me away. The best part is the driving experience. I sold my 2009 997 Turbo with 600 hp/tq and was afraid the PGTS would not live up to my expectations. It has exceeded them. I will post pics later. Enjoy your new 4 door race car.

Well GQ, merry christmas! Enjoy the ride and all the best with the new car - do not add any green though, the red and white are just perfect.

With the roads in Texas, it's almost a must to get at least a partial front protection. I'm just trying to figure out which product to go with. Did you get the maintenance package?

I had red interior in my E90 M3 so I wanted something different with the PGTS.

Thank you I agree. The pictures I saw of the red I loved but it does not compare to how it looks in person. I really wanted the full leather red on the dashboard but I think the contrasting black makes it pop more so I am happy.

Congrats on the new PGTS!!! When you say black/carmine red you mean like mine or are you referring to the alcantera black and carmine red detailing? I love that one as well!!! Yes, the driving experience is nothing short of amazing. I am coming from a E90 M3 with the same horsepower but lighter and smaller so I was worried the car would feel big. PDCC has this car almost completely flat its so unreal how little the car feels behind the wheel.

Can't wait to see pics!!! Please post soon and let me know.
