The exhaust (which I presume are fake)
Why do you presume the exhausts are fake? (I've only skimmed the video with no sound, so I may be missing something obvious)
They look like 4" outlets which would slightly excessive for handling 1500cc's of albiet boosted exhaust. The actual pipes I'd guess would be 2-2.5".
Be interested in seeing how they package a cat and gpf X2.

To my knowledge sadly not. Do you want that in combo with the rouched seats, Simon?
Yes, and the green steering wheel

Ah right gotcha, exhaust tips rarely match up to the actual exhaust size these days though, do they.

I was going to lambast you for the £120k price tag, but there’s not many options I’d remove (axle lift probably).
I love that they charge £1200 for the exact same adaptive cruise system that comes free on a Golf.

they do like to charge the options. I could probably live without the axle lift but some of the speed humps in my estate are brutal. I wouldnt fancy grounding the front. That said - the elise manages it with a bit of patience and we worked out on the highland run that its lower at the front than coasters GT3 lol.
Agree on the adaptive. Its an excellent system on the golf as well.

Switchjam doesn’t have the lift on his 991.2 Turbo S and he’s never had a problem.

991 3.0 GTS listed at £97k
C4S seems expensive already at the same price, and heavy.

I’ve never wanted a 3.4 996 C2 more.

Aventurine green back on the options list apparently - very cool. Wish they’d resurrected that before now.
Love it

Mine would have been lower had it not lost its front splitter

Here's my go:

Looks much better with the blacked exhausts and deletion of model designation. The desire is growing
No manuel option yet seemingly.

I prefer the rear end with the twin exhaust pipes. Can't get rid of the model designation completely because there's too large an empty area then, but there is the option of just a 911 logo which doesn't seem to show up properly on the pictures.
No Nephrite, but I'm still happy with my spec:

I'm particularly pleased with the funky textile seats paired with the alcantara headlining.

Interior looks a bit normal for your usual tastes?

I know; even the interesting-looking colour options are a bit subdued though. I did add wood trim for a bit but didn't think it worked so well with the funky textile seats.
ETA: I wouldn't object to either Scott's or Rich's specs, but they do look exactly the sort of thing you'll see on a Porsche dealer forecourt as dealer specced models.

The Kermit green is cool, but it think it would only really work on a full on GT model imo.

If I were actually speccing a car to buy, it would no doubt look more like yours
