Ever since the first spyshots showed up, we've been keeping an eye on the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package. And we've once again brought the model under the spotlights, as we have a brilliant spec to share with you.
The GT3 TP we have here is dressed in Oak Green Metallic and, in our book, this refined color perfectly complements the discreet lines of the Porscha.

Satin aluminum was the color choice for the wheels of this Neunelfer, while the presence of the banana-colored calipers means the machine is gifted with PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes) goodies.

This machine packs quite a few CCX options, with these covering both the exterior and the interior of the rear-engined animal. An example of the first comes from the colored Porsche crest found on the center-lock wheels.

As for the cabin, this brings a mix of Black and Cognac leather. The latter is present on elements like the full bucket seats, the lower dash trim, the gear shifter and boot, as well as on the center console storage lid.

Now, you might wonder how such a configuration comes together. Well, you should know that the owner of the Porscha took the time to share the story of the configuration with us.

I wanted to create a timeless and elegant piece, and I am quite happy with the result. My first idea was to make the entire interior in Cognac, but luckily and last minute I decided to only pick a few elements to create some “highlights”. Oak is a great color for the Touring and the satin aluminum wheels are just perfect from at least my point of view,” the man explains.

Then again, we also enjoy keeping an eye on other Zuffenhausen models and we can't wait to be able to bring you the production version of the 911 Speedster and perhaps the 911 GT3 Cabriolet.

 

Reader Deliveries: Congratulations to one of our long time readers @timmtiller on taking delivery of his brand new PTS Oak Green Metallic (oakgrünmetallic; 22L) 911 GT3 Touring in Kiel, Germany. This example sports the manual (as do all Tourings), wheels in satin aluminum, PCCB, xenons with PDLS, and full bucket seats. This one is yet another testament to how Porsche Exclusive CXX options can be leveraged extensively yet with restraint. On the outside, the colored Porsche crests on the centerlocks look just at home. Step inside to note the stunning two-tone Black and Cognac theme, with Cognac upholstered on the full bucket seats, the lower dash trim, the gear knob and boot, and the center console storage lid. Just the right amount of tasteful contrast, in my opinion. Timm shed some light onto how the final spec came together, writing: “I wanted to create a timeless and elegant piece, and I am quite happy with the result. My first idea was to make the entire interior in Cognac, but luckily and last minute I decided to only pick a few elements to create some “highlights”. Oak is a great color for the Touring and the satin aluminum wheels are just perfect from at least my point of view.” Amen on all accounts. Many thanks to the owner for sharing with us the photos and story of this very special car. What are your thoughts on this example? Paging @oakgruenmetallic, of course. #PTSRS
