Definitely gentian blue with the wheels you chose but I’d add the aero kit and the full blown matrix headlights, I’d go for the rear wiper too. Inside it’d be two tone burgundy leather and I’d change the colour of the interior “metal” trim, sport crono, axle lift. Just did the configurator and a no option Carrera starts at (NZ)$270,900 and my configuration landed at $337,210. While I’m dreaming here I’d actually go for a GTS or a maybe a GT3 but I think the GTS would suit New Zealand roads better.
Nice to see someone like Anthony who knows his product! My local Porsche dealer has no idea of the intricacies of what they’re selling which is a bummer for a nerd like me. He even knew that the 997 showed more of the engine!
@@JoeAchilles1yeah, I got impression you’d been “influenced” on what spec you were ordering for Michelin - shame James couldn’t have given you some more flexibility to spec it!
Loved the Nick Murray comments, I also love a rear wiper! Just specced up my dream 718, with a contrasting crayon interior, manual box and a few other goodies - looks the business. Just have to work a little harder!
Loved the 911 spec chat and you both had a great chemistry on camera! Can't believe Anthony has only been at Porsche Reading for 3 weeks! Great work both 🎉
Cheers Sam, you need to pop into the showroom if you've not been recently, stunning place and Anthony was the icing on the cake! Just wish it was mine 😂
He was great! Joe - your spec! We always pick the same blue. I might've gone for a lighter/whiter leather, and slimmer spoke wheels, sunroof (every used car I buy, I never get my sunroof, because it's the compromise over some other spec item like colour or leather colour), didn't appreciate Sport Chrono was the difference between drive modes or not either. Anthony is right though - gentleman spec. I wholly approve.
Love your content Joe and your gentian blue spec. Seeing your episode on the Carrera T I would have thought you’d go for that. 😀 I’m awaiting my own T and I’ve probably watched your review of the 992.1 one too many times. 😄
Haha thanks man, and yes I would have gone for the T for sure. Just wanted to show my spec for the base car as Michelin said it needed to be base 992.2. Cheers for watching
Gentian Blue with the Truffle Brown was elite sir! That spec I would 100% go for… + coloured crests on the wheels and surround view to help me through London 6x6 width restrictions 😁
I like the spec, id probably have messed up and gone for bronze wheels I dunno why but think they would have looked nice on that colour scheme. Not far now @JoeAchilles I'm sure that Porsche is close to a reality....the dog will want you to spec those rear seats though haha. And a note to Porsche that dude Anthony what a guy, think he is wasted as just salesman
Love both specs, however it’s got to have 3 pedals, full stop 😮 Anthony, what a top bloke 👌 Joe, marriage is overrated, it’s only a bit of paper, hit go on the order 😂
How does this work Joe. Can you just add £100k in options and pile them on to your hearts content and Michelin will just order the car. Or did they give a top budget specced for the car
Michelin and Porsche GB had already decided on the spec, we just essentially ran through their spec and Cup car theme. If it was my choice, it would have been the car we built at the end of the video, a base 911 shouldn't have a wing in my opinion 🫣
I'm a bit conserved about how porsche does business selling cars (their cars are still top tier ngl but questionable practices) but Anthony seems like the first man that I'm gonna be not hesitant propose my configuration for my next 911 GT3 (if it's a bit cheaper ofc) :P And yes, I'm still a bit dial back because of Mark McCann's investigative video about ridiculous GT3 RS requirements
Joe, I’m quite sure when you’ll buy your 992 dream car it will be the Carrera T … or if you’ll have more budget you’ll buy the Touring. You’re definitely a manual guy Porsche 911… :)
@@JoeAchilles1 very true. I forgot about your road trip. Fast wagons it is then...you can't have your Lab slabbering all over the inside of a nice new 911 but you can buy the correctly fitting boot guards and mats for the rear of your M5. Just need to get it a g-suit when you take it anywhere.
On the adaptive cruise option, I still can't believe that's not standard on a £100k+ Porsche in 2025. 6 years ago I had it on a £30k Tiguan as standard.... 😮
Don’t forget we’ve had 25% inflation in the last 5 years, so £80k in 2020 is now £100k. Know anyone whose wages have gone up accordingly, cos I don’t? ☹️
All my BMW's... I own my M2 which would give me a deposit, the M3 is heavily financed and has zero equity in it. I/we need a practical car unfortunately. Maybe one day.
Porsche is so funny with their eco extremism, now changing tack when reality hits them in the face. I had plans of course to upgrade to the new 911 but I think I will just stay with my old one for many years.
Porsche should determine allocations, and position in the line based on how many hours the customer has spent in their configurator. Rich poser who's just buying a 911 for status, and needs their hand held by a salesman for configurator building? Cool you can get a 911, but you gotta wait until all the enthusiasts buying one have theirs.
Quick feedback for Anthony ! it's about the customer not YOU so your opinion when a customer is ordering a vehicle especially on design side is completely irrelevant !
While I do enjoy videos like this, I do worry that It encourages people to spend too much on thier cars. Should you pay £1000 extra a month into your pension instead of a car? Most likely the answer is yes.
Rather than these new models, I'd appraciate to see you to buy something more stylish, like 911 Turbo 991 or something like that. There is no point buying these new models as the newer the worse they are. Good cars were already being produced, but no more 👎

Hopefully get the opportunity to order my own 911 one day! Looking forward to bringing you along for the journey with this car once it arrives ❤
You and me both Joe.
Very cool.
Looking forward to the review!
Can’t wait to see you order yours mate ❤️
You nearly had me !!!! What a partnership for 2025 to spec and then drive the 911 Michelin car - stepping it up this year. It’s going to be epic

What a guy Anthony is! Porsche should be proud to have him.
Agreed! Actually meeting him for a drive and coffee next weekend, genuinely lovely bloke 👌
actually my thoughts just after few secs. How charismatic and good speaker this guy is…
I want him to sell me my next Porsche for sure
Anthony is absolutely at the top of his game. What a superb salesman and point of contact at Porsche!
Fantastic guy, Porsche Reading is a better place with Anthony around that's for sure!
Nice to see someone like Anthony who knows his product! My local Porsche dealer has no idea of the intricacies of what they’re selling which is a bummer for a nerd like me. He even knew that the 997 showed more of the engine!
What a fantastic sales man. A real car guy by the sounds of it!
Absolutely lovely and genuine guy 🙏
Pretty cool idea for a brand/company that needs a car/Porsche to let a creator spec one on their behalf..
Yeah I was chuffed when they told me last year, hopefully get to actually spec it my way next time 😉
@@JoeAchilles1yeah, I got impression you’d been “influenced” on what spec you were ordering for Michelin - shame James couldn’t have given you some more flexibility to spec it!
Anthony is a top guy. The type of person any employer would be pleased to have. Knows his onions too when it comes to options!
💯
He comes across as a good salesman
Genuinely top guy on and off the camera 👌
Great video Joe. Nice spec, those wheels really suit the car and subtle 911 badging works well. Top salesman as well!
Cheers Simon glad you liked it!
Antony came over as very good sales guy and enjoyed your program. Keep up the great work 👍
Knowledgeable, polite, funny and a proper car guy 👌

Can’t imagine a better person to buy a Porsche from. Anthony embodies everything the brand stands for. Well done!
Agreed 💯
The sales guy is so good!
Isn't he 👌
If I buy any car I want this guy selling it - passion for the brand, rare
Absolutely, he better still be in the UK when my time comes....
Anthony - an absolute legend
I would spec the 911 the Jo Achilles way as opposed to the Michelin one
Haha correct on both accounts 😉👌
He was great! Joe - your spec! We always pick the same blue. I might've gone for a lighter/whiter leather, and slimmer spoke wheels, sunroof (every used car I buy, I never get my sunroof, because it's the compromise over some other spec item like colour or leather colour), didn't appreciate Sport Chrono was the difference between drive modes or not either. Anthony is right though - gentleman spec. I wholly approve.
Nice to see a few more regular videos Joe, enjoyed that one…we can all dream !!
Cheers man glad you liked it, I'm looking forward to picking it up next month 👌
Superb content and I have only watched the first 12 minutes so far.I prefer the Michelin(silver) option.
Man that sales guy is a smooth operator 😎
Sure is, was an absolute natural on camera 🎬
Your spec is classy!
Anthony making it look easy! 👏
Anthony's gonna be getting some emails. Great job!
I hope so! 🙏
Brilliant salesman.
Genuine good guy!
Audio is so much better than your m5 touring order video.
It's a learning curve 👌
Anthony is quite lovely and missed back here in the States!
He sure is! A big asset to Reading, let's hope he gets used to our BIG speed humps and tiny parking spaces 🤣👌
What a cool guy, great on camera too! No Joe, not you...😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Yes, Anthony thankfully made this video far more watchable 👌
actually like both. I think if i went motorsport aero kit - crayon works well
Blows your budget, but you really need the glass sunroof
From Manhattan to Reading
Love the blue with the wheels and the brown seats but would keep the brown off of the dashboard. Carry on...
i'd happily buy a 911 from Anthony even though i don't need one
🤣👌

Nice shout out to the kiwi.
Dark green, black interior, silver S wheels, yellow seat belts and Sport Chrono is a must if you want to sell it an a few years.
Nice 👌
Defo your spec is my preference
All the best to you, Joe. I hope you get your dream 911 one day. 👍I am working on that too😉
Haha me too mate 👌
Hahaha I like this guy the speed humps huge what’s up with that 😂😂 and the parking spots sainsburys 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Yes me too, made me chuckle a few times during the edit!
Joe you are getting closer and closer to that day 👍🏻 your work will pay off one day! 🙂
Anthony wow what a guy..👌🏻👍🏻 he’s a breath of fresh air when it comes car sales..
Sure is 👌
Haven’t seen the vid yet but after just listening to you and Ped on the podcast…. I guess it’s 911 over wedding then!! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Not quite!
@@JoeAchilles1😂😂😂
Gentian Blue with the Truffle Brown was elite sir! That spec I would 100% go for… + coloured crests on the wheels and surround view to help me through London 6x6 width restrictions 😁
Definitely the Joe + Anthony spec for me!
Pure class are Porsche's joe🤘🤘🤘🤘💯👊
I didn’t want this car until I got hypnotised by Anthony 😂😂😂 God he’s a good salesman! He needs his own channel for sure 👌
I like the spec, id probably have messed up and gone for bronze wheels I dunno why but think they would have looked nice on that colour scheme.

From BMW M to a Porsche is just natural progression in my mind. Money permitting of course.
Love both specs, however it’s got to have 3 pedals, full stop 😮
Anthony, what a top bloke 👌
Joe, marriage is overrated, it’s only a bit of paper, hit go on the order 😂
😂😂😂
Great shout with them wheel caps @ the end 👌🫰
I like your spec Joe but I think you missed one thing and that one I would add is the front lift kit. Cheers 👍
Good call!
You don't need the lift kit..total waist of money
@@Stucatz911only 911 needing a lift kit is the GT models
I can be on the Porsche configuration all day!!!
Aero is ESSENTIAL for me.
How does this work Joe. Can you just add £100k in options and pile them on to your hearts content and Michelin will just order the car. Or did they give a top budget specced for the car

Why you would not go for the T instead of the base one?
I would choose your build all day long,very cool,I really hope it becomes a reality for you one day. 😊
Full color mirrors are a must - except you have a black car or a silver 911 with carbon mirrors.
Gentian Blue😍
It's pronounced Gentian
What a sales guy. Rare to find!
Well, Joe, you built yourself a great looking Porsche. I just drove a GT3 at speed Vegas. Although I can’t afford to buy one it’s nice to dream.
"Gentleman's Build" Is a very nice way of saying, boomer build. Good salesman. Joe your build looks like my old man's 911, and he's 72 lol
We all have different tastes, that's what makes the world go round...
The guy in the Michelin jacket walking past in the background 😂
Porsche Logic: Aero kit on light colours, without on dark. Leather shouldn’t be an option on GTS trim levels.
Cool !!!
Joe, I’m quite sure when you’ll buy your 992 dream car it will be the Carrera T … or if you’ll have more budget you’ll buy the Touring. You’re definitely a manual guy Porsche 911… :)
No “real person” in the UK will actually achieve an allocation for a Touring unfortunately!
Rather see myself in a Porsche but would love to see you get a Porsche at some point 😂.. gt3 or at least gts hopefully?
Apparently no optional 84 litre fuel tank for RHD markets, which is a shame on long roadtrips. Only costs 190€ in Germany.
Joe cancel the M5 and get a 911 pro tip ;)
Carrera T for you Joe! Gotta go manual 😊
This guy can talk!
Three weeks in the UK. He doesn’t get to appreciate the new President 😂😅
thank god no privacy glass
Cancel the M5 Touring and get on the configurator for real this time 😏
Doesn't do the same jobs unfortunately. Not sure my parents would be as comfortable on our euro road trip for instance...
@@JoeAchilles1 very true. I forgot about your road trip. Fast wagons it is then...you can't have your Lab slabbering all over the inside of a nice new 911 but you can buy the correctly fitting boot guards and mats for the rear of your M5. Just need to get it a g-suit when you take it anywhere.
You could buy it if you canceled the the M5
Would have to cancel my dog as well and that's not happening.
@JoeAchilles1 Fair point, maybe next year you'll have both
Given the purpose of this car, I am curious as to why not start with the T model instead of the base?
Joe your spec is better!
Joe's spec = for an older man. Classic look. Rather more mean / tougher look.
On the adaptive cruise option, I still can't believe that's not standard on a £100k+ Porsche in 2025. 6 years ago I had it on a £30k Tiguan as standard.... 😮
How long would the blue car take to be delivered in UK.
Probably 2 months ish
@ Is that all. Guess the new GTS would be quite a bit longer?
P.S. The sales guy was great.
Just go new Carrera T - you also get the manual gearbox!
Base price has gone up 13K?? Wasn't it £86 in the previous version?
It was £82k in 2022, then £86k in 2023, £95k ish in 2024 and now basically £100k... Very low residuals if you bought a 992 in 2021/22
Don’t forget we’ve had 25% inflation in the last 5 years, so £80k in 2020 is now £100k. Know anyone whose wages have gone up accordingly, cos I don’t? ☹️
I'm old, so your spec 😂😂😂
Black wheels?
Who cares about BMW when you have a Porsche? Especially a 911.
White 992.2T with 18 way seats ,steel sun roof and yellow seat belts ,having owned a 991.2 with the tan dash ,far too much reflection
Joe Tony TRL is going to be upset you are at a Porsche garage 😢😢😂
Haha I broke the news to him before this video went live, he seemed okay, hope he doesn't cry himself to sleep this evening.... 😢😂❤
@@JoeAchilles1😂😂 looking fwd to seeing this porker when it’s ready
Joe time to sell off all your BMWs use that cash and get your 911 there’s no point to keep putting it off
All my BMW's... I own my M2 which would give me a deposit, the M3 is heavily financed and has zero equity in it. I/we need a practical car unfortunately. Maybe one day.

Okay then.
Skip the wing on this model....trust me
Get the ambient lighting
No NO NO NO...DONT DO THE AERO
Get the SUNROOF
Agate grey much nicer colour
Looooooooze the wing...get black wheels with black calipers and tint your windows
..ppf on half the car as well !!!!
Your channel is a source of wonder and inspiration. Thank you for your creativity and diligence!😁🫦💝
