Now let's hope they introduce some decent new colours as the choice is particularly sparse with some just downright awful IMHO - not least the launch colour of the Coupé (Monteverde Metallic - sounds good but looks like a NATO Olive). Mystic Green is questionable too - seen similar on various...
Lease companies typically are last to be served compared to sourcing privately via your local Porsche dealership directly in my experience.
Locked orders are typically 3 months prior to anticipated delivery for most Porsches with a custom spec.
Skip 22" IMHO.
You don't lose much if anything. Standard fit is electrically adjustable backrest (no squab adjustment). Additionally, rear seats 2+1 are zero cost and gives the benefit of the +1 centre part of the seat to be dropped (skis, wood planks etc). The compromise is the electric release of the...
Yes - was on the configurator unless its been removed now. Favourite gadget on Chinese luxury cars but a pricey option
Soft close is standard however (motorised closing if not door not properly closed (as per the boot / trunk).
Improved range over the boxy non Coupé variant. Personally, I'd go...
Don't understand why the Coupé wasn't launched first or in parallel.
Addresses one key dislike for me and that was the slab-like rear end.
Now on the configurator too.
It doesn't actually if you check thoroughly (UK). Standard spec sheet doesn't mention either.
The arches are gloss black as are some other pieces of exterior trim. The rear diffuser (and front) changes with the specific Sport Design Pack.
Send them your build code for the avoidance of doubt.
Oddly, only the 22" SportTechno wheels for the base or S require the SportDesign Package. All other variants of the same size don't according to the configurator. The tyres are broader on this specific rim hence the requirement.
Turbo must...
Push to Pass (an element of Sports Chrono option) is available when on the move and logically of more use than acceleration from a standstill. Add to this the addition of Sports Plus mode for the chassis and Sport mode for PSM. Beyond this there is a Track Endurance Mode to keep the battery...
This info is on the configurator - standard equipment tab and each tab for the exterior package chosen.
Offroad Package
The Offroad Package consists of:
- Offroad lower front apron in Black (matt) with inlay painted in Vesuvius Grey
- Wheel arch covers and side skirts in Black (matt)
- Offroad...
Yes but ICE roof on coupé can't be opened (for whatever reason (curvature / aero)) if this follows through to EV then perhaps VLC will feature on its own.
Void of details and production photos right now.
Roof can be VLC - variable degrees of shade at $$$$ - presumably will be an option if non opening.
Actually this looks better than current ICE coupě IMHO.
Wait to see non camouflaged images.
I have to disagree, the 911 is an everyday usable super car. Impressive luggage space (rear seats folded and frunk.) I use mine regularly and the last thing I would complain about is practicality. Clearly, you won't transport 4 adults but then how often is that needed. Two small kids, probably...
14 way would be a preference- more comfortable
Pano roof
2D / 3D Park Assist
Rear axle steering
Privacy glass
Bose (probably)
Other options are now standard such is the basic spec
It won't be the same. Preheating typically uses more energy to run the 800v HVAC heater.
Taycans all have heat pumps as standard in most regions - UK being one, (in others it was an option). Did little for efficiency in my experience and would worry what it would be like without.
Charging...
Heated screen is 12v and in my experience works very well for shifting early morning frost. Cabin preconditioning will use HV battery and will eat some range before you set off. More of an issue in climates where winters are frosty, cold and low ambient.
Possibly a marginal requirement if you...
Porsche use the same - LiFePO4 (LFP) - 12v battery tech on the Taycan (since 2019) and Macan EV.
I imagine Cayenne EV is the same.
12v battery issues have plagued many EV car brands due to software issues.
