The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring: How far Exclusive Manufaktur customizes new Porsches - PCA Spotlight

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

As active PCA members, we see the best Porsches in the world on a regular basis, yet it’s still a rare opportunity to examine one in detail as it’s delivered to a customer. Jorge Carnicero, of Potomac Region, took delivery of his 911 GT3 Touring extensively customized by Exclusive Manufaktur at the Porsche Experience Center (PEC) in Atlanta, and fortunately we were invited to bring our cameras and get the full story of how this car came to be.
[Join PCA today! www.pca.org/membership]
Carnicero’s good friend Tom Neel, also of Potomac Region and a regular contributor to PCA.org, helped him throughout the process of spec’ing this paint-to-sample British Racing Green Porsche. He’ll give us a tour of the car in the video above, touching on the unique parts of this car that aren’t available on the normal options list yet which can be made possible by Exclusive Manufaktur - a department within the automaker that goes to extraordinary lengths to personalize new Porsches for customers. Instead of going the flashy route, Carnicero built his GT3 Touring to embody the term “understated elegance.”
If you’re planning on visiting the PEC in Atlanta, be sure to check out the car, which is on display at time of writing in the main lobby.

    This Porsche owner and his consultant read my mind, then made improvements! This is the model Porsche I would order and the PTS color I would spec. The espresso, black seat inserts, wood and other interior details I had not even imagined for the GT3 Touring. I too had been tempted by Irish Green, but BRG prevailed just over a month ago--in my fantasy. Bravo! It is indeed the ultimate "gentlemen racer". Please drive this car often and spiritedly (It's shame that odds are it'll remain in his garage). Colin Chapman and Lotus would be proud. May I visit it? I'm a PCA member.

    I've always loved BRG, such a classic European sports car color. And that interior is just stunning, I LOVE the fact that he went with wood trim...so classic and beautiful! The only thing I'd change is the brake calipers to gloss black. The yellow just doesn't work with the sophisticated aesthetic of the car overall, but that's just my opinion.

    The darker green colors (Oak, Olive, Brewster, British Racing, Irish) look great with the silver wheels. The silver trim gives it a classy look. I like the wood on the interior with Espresso, matches the spirit of touring. I don't I would have done the fabric handles or black inserts though. Minor things, very special car
