C4S Cab. X51
This post has been a long time coming, but better late than never. Back at the end of July I picked up my new C4S Cab X51 in Stuttgart. The car is simply incredible! I drove down from Stuttgart via Zurich, Lugano, Milan, Nice, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Marbella and back to Madrid, close to 5K km in total.
Here are the specs:
C4S Cab. Basalt Black
X51
AT Natural Black Leather
342 Heated Seats
446 Color Wheel Crests
482 TPS
635 Park Assist
666 Phone module
674 Tracking system
900 Factory pick up
CCW B Pilar in Alu. Look
CNA Leather in the front part of the dash (cannot describe it better, see photo)
P01 Adaptive Sport Seats
405 Carrera Classics 19"
608 Homelink
640 Sport Chrono Plus
672 Extended Nav.
680 Bose
CDZ Front of gear shift lever in leather (again hard to describe see pic)
P12 Rear View mirrors anti-glare, electric and sensor
XMZ Central consol in Leather
XPA Leather thick sport wheel
XSC Crest in seats
XMP Shades in Leather
XNS Leather in steering column
CUV Carrera 4S (see pic)
XTV Leather in door (see pic)
This is my 3rd Porsche but my 1st Carrera. I have owned 2 Boxsters S previously. All I have to say is that I love this car, the way it drives, sounds and looks. The car is simply perfect.
On driving the car, all I have to say is that this is one fast agile balanced sports car. The car does not feel heavy as some say it is just fast and incredibly neutral. I do not find this car any less fun than my 986S and of course is much faster.
On options, I got X51 but did not get PCCBs, I was convinced by dealership that I did not need them. I have driven a C4S with PCCBs before and I yes, of course the feel of the brakes is just incredible with PCCBs but frankly I have to agree with the dealer that my car has more braking power than I will ever need. Of course you might say I did not need X51 either, but what the heck, I wanted the extra power and sports exhaust. Why would anyone buy a 997 without sports exhaust is beyond me, if you don't have it, get it!. The sound is just incredible, I have it always on.
On other extras, I love every single piece of extra leather that I got, I think the car looks awesome with these minor details, but that's just me.
I would also say that factory delivery is a must if you can do it.
All that said, here are some pics:
