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.

That interior is probably one of the most tasteful and beautiful I have ever seen on ANY car. Congratulations.

Agreed! I love the green as well. I'm a big fan of Mexico Blue but this is so different and it looks brilliant.
"Exquisite" is the first thing that comes to my mind every time I see this car. Such a tastefully crafted machine.
For me just the fact that is a GT3 touring which it means its a 6-speed manual makes this car special. Well done.

You can get a new GT3 with a 6 speed and a wing delete making the GT3 Touring's less desirable.

After all the work and time it took to make this beautiful car, he better put a hundred thousand miles on it in the next five years. Cheers
When money meets good taste, amazing things become possible.
That wood really sets it apart. I think houndstooth insert in the seats would have been a great touch.
Absolutely gorgeous. Wow. Love the color, the wood, the two tone. Instant classic. I would have replaced the sill carbon fiber with the wood.

I agree. The wood lends such grace and warmth to the interior.
I totally agree with your emphasis on aesthetics. If things aren't beautifully made you just aren't drawn to them as much. This car is beautifully finished. Congrats!
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.

Thank you, your comment means a lot. Tom Neel
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 most beautiful Porsche interior I’ve ever seen.
Porsche is a slice of perfection 🥰💞

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

Had a Karmen Ghia in high school. Paid 450.00 for it. It was yellow. Had it painted British racing green. Cannot afford porsche, but if I could , this would be my car. Favorite color, favorite car, please take care of my baby!!! Absolutely love it!!!
What an amazing car. More people need to think of building and customizing automobiles like this!
That green color is awesome. Will admit the green with the yellow calipers is a bit lotus like.
Expresso??? Espresso!!! Beautiful spec. Only thing I would have changed is the straps. I would have kept the original door pulls. The straps don't go with the classy interior. I have them in my T and they work with that interior, but not this one.

I said the same thing when I saw the straps. Should have been chrome metal handles. It’s an absolutely beautiful and refined car none the less
At first I thought it was Brewster green, but this color combo is just STUNNING, so well done👍👍
What an absolutely fantastic job on the interior. Amazing!
I enjoyed every minute of your video. That is the most beautiful interior I have ever seen in a Porsche. Why not wood? It lends such warmth and grace to the interior. I hate the shiny black plastics in modern interiors. This car is surely worthy of a graceful interior. I think the GT3 Touring is the best Porsche ever built. You are a lucky man, George! (And one with exquisite taste.)

This is exactly how I would spec a 911, a job well done
top car. Have a touring pack GT3 also. love it.
Absolutely stunning the workmanship that went into this build truely shows I absolutely love the interior.Excellent work done by Porsche.
Interior is incredible. Great work and design.
Nice shade of green
this spec is crazy good
What a dream spec! I hope to one day be able to place an order for a new 992 and spec a Irish, British or Brewster Green. I also would say that the interior comes alive in natural light! When we see it inside the center it's beautiful, but then outside it's amazing. Enjoy the miles and smiles!
Love it. Thanks PCA for doing this.
Wow, that's a special car.
Best 991 GT3 Touring ever produced, ever.

Congrats on the new car. She is beautiful.
As long as Porsche keeps making them with 3 pedals, I will always work towards owning one. That exterior design language will always look good. 👌🏽
That woodtrim is so nice
A well spec classic style beautiful color car. I like the wood trim. 🦅🦅🇺🇸
Congrats on a great build. Attention to detail is everything in life, love, faith, and Porsche's.
What a great spec
I didn’t even know you could still get wooden trim! These days everything is either silver/metal or carbon fiber trim. Great video!

Beautiful car !
wow. that interior is spectacular.
I've been seeing a lot more people going with green for their Porsche orders and I'm starting to warm up to that colour. Looks really fitting for that car
Classy AF.
Great presentation, BRG & wood, a unique GT3 t : specifying a car to this level - id be forever mulling it over & drive the dealer to drink - enjoy that car.
Gorgeous Porsche GT3 touring my dream ride
Beautiful
Looks like the head lights are the LED ones? I'd have gone for the non LED to get that nice round look as opposed to the double rectangles...
Wow! Just beautiful!🥰👍
The interior is just exquisite
Never saw that color before it's beautiful.
Very nice. Glad porsche is doing this!
Gorgeous!
beautiful build
Absolutely beautiful GT3 Tom Neel created something very special for Jorge. I am waiting for a call from my dealership for my allotment of a 2022 Porsche Targa GTS . I do like the racing green but am afraid I will loose my contrast with all the black trim and wheels.. A beige or expresso interior is important to me. So much to consider.. Thanks for a great video.

Amazing. One day.. I already bought my first used Porsche last year, a 987.1 Cayman S, and I love it. But the dream is to one day spec out my very own brand new GT car.
Muchas felicidades amigo. Saludos desde México...😎
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous ........
Beautiful car enjoy it
this is awesome
Classy AF
Congratulations very special car
Stunning car, love the colour (coming from somebody who owns a 2018 Irish Green Targa 4 w/espresso/cognac interior). Would have gotten the door trim in gold magnesium with the gold magnesium rims and coloured caps.
Dream spec. Only changes I'd make would be a metallic paint, brighter caramel leather and aluminium trim inserts.
Beautiful.…..
expresso???
If Steve McQueen drove a 911 Touring, it would probably look similar to this
So this guy is saying... THANK YOU Porsche for making my dreams come true. Thank you all the wonderful people who built this car, etc. Dude, you didn't get the car for free. You bought it with your own money. YOU made your dreams come true and you had to wait well over a year to get it.

I am ordering this car in 60 days!!!
Okay. Please explain how I can get a GT3 allotment so I can use Porsche exclusive to spec a beautiful car.
That is likely the classiest spec modern Porsche in the world.
Almost perfect. The only thing I don’t like is the GT3 script in between the back seats. It’s a bit Joey if you get my reference.
Congratulations! .. Your "labor of Luv" comes to fruition. .. No Zuffenhausen delivery? .. Beautiful ....
Chrome window trim misalignment at 9:44. Weird.
I absolutely love this color combination! I’ve owned several Porsches and, despite requests for Paint to Order or other questions, Porsche has not/will not produce this color combo for my purchase! Can anybody explain their reluctance to produce such a beautiful car?

Great presentation. The only change to the video would have been to nix the music in the end when the owner drove out and let everyone hear that bad boy start up and drive away.
Just subscribed to the channel. Great video, fantastic car. Jorge, if you read this, what kind of wood is this? Wood is usually not my cup of tea in modern cars but here it kind of fits really well. Enjoy your GT3.

Pure class. Hate most modern supercars with in-your-face colors, slats, slots, and wings. They look like they were designed for little boys.
love the passion lets hope he drives the shit out of it ;)
Most NLE’s have de-hisser and de-noiser filer effects to remove all that background micorphone distortion guys. Please use it next time. This is a professional video, as should the audio be. The bad audio quality takes away from the great experience your viewers could have had with this video.
Gooood for youuuu
Needs clear side markers. Also, I would ditch the chrome border around the window and go with gloss black.
After watching this that interior is not the only thing that has got wood.
Absolutely love the interior. Love the paint as well (says the owner of a 997.2 Launch edition in Porsche Racing Green). The wheels on the other hand just seem almost white-ish against that paint. Maybe it's the lighting. Not my choice.

Beautiful! Just out of curiosity, how much more would all these customized options cost? Excess of $30K?

So you picked the color of the paint and interior? Yeah, super custom.
