    I suspect a 5 day extended test drive of 991 may well become an itch too far.... indecision

    I was correct, I didn't get the 5 day loan if a 991 from Porsche Centre Swindon but as suspected a BMW. However they were extremely apologetic that they didn't have a loan 991 but have promised me an extended drive when I return to collect my car next Tuesday - and also a drive of their 991 Turbo S. I suspect the itch may get very very bad after that...Smiley..........and it's blue Smiley

    Just around the corner from Porsche Centre Swindon is Dick Lovett Ferrari  (Swindon is also part of Dick Lovett)

    now the itch got much much worse.....I was amazed at the reception I received when I went into the showroom, even though I made it clear I was light years away of being a Ferrari the staff were attentive, friendly, served coffee and snacks, had full tour of the workshop with a fortune of vintage Ferraris, F40, F50, up to the latest F12......Smiley

    I really like the front of the car. 

    Just noticed BTW that they've added Carmine red metallic (Cayenne GTS color) to the "Special colors" for the 981. Would be a nice color for a Boxster GTS....

    The US changes made it in last week, the CH one must have updated today..  Nothing much of interest to me though.

    You're right! Forgot to mention them. They do indeed look pretty good on the 981... A lot better than on the 991 IMHO.

    The new 2015 options in the configurator leaves me lukewarm. Not much of interest there.

    Porsche Boxster and Cayman GTS revealed...

    Porsche’s two new GTS models pack more power, revised suspension and extra performance kit...

    (19 March 2014)

    Porsche has augmented its Cayman and Boxster line-ups with new GTS models. The Cayman GTS and Boxster GTS get more power and performance, revised styling and dynamic changes over the Cayman S and Boxster S models on which they are based.
     
    Each is equipped with a 3.4-litre flat six engine that now complies with the more stringent Euro 6 emissions regs. They also have 15bhp more than the S variants, so the Cayman GTS produces 335bhp and the Boxster GTS 325bhp. Torque is also slightly increased, by 7lb ft in each car, giving 280lb ft for the Cayman and 272lb ft for the Boxster.
     
    A six-speed manual gearbox is standard on each car, with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto optional. Fitted with the auto, the Cayman GTS can crack 0-62mph in 4.6sec and the Boxster GTS takes 4.7sec. Top speed is higher in the manual-equipped cars, the Cayman GTS capable of 177mph and the Boxster GTS of 175mph.
     
    A host of dynamic upgrades and packages feature as standard on the new models. These include the Sport Chrono package, which sharpens vehicle responses, and the Porsche Active Suspension Management system (PASM), which brings lowered suspension and electronically controlled adaptive dampers.
     
    The two-seat, rear-drive Cayman GTS and Boxster GTS are distinguished from S models by their revised front and rear bumpers, blackened bi-xenon lights and 20-inch Carrera S alloy wheels shod with 235/35 tyres at the front and 265/35 tyres at the rear.
     
    Inside, the GTS models get sports seats and a leather interior with Alcantara trim.
     
    Sales of the pair are set to get under way in May. The Boxster GTS costs £52,879, while the Cayman GTS is priced at £55,397. Both cars will make their public debut at the Beijing motor show next month.

    IMHO no. It is a package of options with a new badge.

    For people looking to get a high optioned S the GTS makes sense.
