Re: 992 GT3
Grant:CGX car nut:A really subtle touring. I needed to look twice at the images to notice that your new 911 is a touring. In the last image, I note that there is a locator tab at the bottom of the door and previously don't recall seeing this on other 992s. Is this a new addition or something specific to the GT3/Touring?
I think that thing on the door inserts into the bottom of the frame when the door is closed and is part of the safety features of the car (locks the door closed from there in a rollover or something - or maybe contributes to theft prevention). I've noticed it on my car too.

It definitely is a locator tab with a possible locking function but I don’t recall seeing that feature on other 992s.
