yes , here is my coupe S build
https://porsche-code.com/PTQ8MFI5

i decided to go with S because i want to try active ride feature (and i think i wont use much of the provided power if i purchase turbo model)
Vehicle Tax on cars in Mauritius is crazy. S makes perfectly sense for overtaking on costal roads though ;-). Did you consider Madeira gold?

Haha, that’s the color my kids want, but I’d rather stick with blue, which is the color my wife chose :) (and that I actually like).

kitch, I went through your spec and was amazed that we have selected so many of the same boxes (from so many functional ones to even our choosing the same exact interior). If I might please, FWIW, make two options change suggestions for your consideration, one that would cost more, the other if you like it would save you money.

The “S” is a beast; yes a highly well engineered beast that does so many things excellently, but it is long and heavy (5,699 pounds not counting options). I would strongly suggest considering adding in the PTV+ option (though spendy) to help your great “S” turn better using its electronic differential’s power difference from one side to the other to get it handle better.

To potentially save you some of the if-you-choose PTV+ cost, I specifically asked my very experienced Porsche salesperson about the need for the “Remote Park Assist 3D” option (He had literally earlier last week come back from Colorado driving Cayenne EV’s as part of of Porsche “train our brand Ambassadors” special event). I was precise in asking whether the standard (N/C) for the “S”’ “Automatic Parking 2D with Surround View” would give me enough visibility to protect my curb side wheels with its camera’s (a key concern of ours for our current Macan EV has super expensive CF wheels), and he said “you will not need to spend money on the 3D Remote View option if that is your main issue”. But as you know, there can be other purposes for the upgrading to the 3D (none of which my wife nor I personally want nor need).

Regardless of your thoughts on the two possible options’ changes, you will have a BIG FUN, very functional, extremely competent S!

FunTC, good call outs. I got to test drive today and agree could probably do without the 3D parking. PTV+ seems like a reasonable add. I’m also considering black painted calipers to go a bit more monochromatic, especially with the gold wheels. Build not locked yet!
