Having been for a test drive Test drive 911 and Taycan | Porsche Taycan Forum - TaycanForum.com I have put together a draft spec. Any comments welcome - although I understand this is a risky business and you will collectively try to add £10k to the build cost!
Here is the Porsche code: https://cc.porsche.com/icc/ccCall.d.../modelstart/all/default.ashx&webcode=pnbxa9m7
If the link doesn't work the number is: PNBXA9M7
There are a few things that I really want. Some optional and some that I don't want. And a few uncertainties
Want: most of the things on the spec
Could live without: head up display, ambient lighting, electric charging cover (although the manual one looks a bit flimsy and prone to damage while open which is why I have put the electric one on there), matrix LED lights (I live in the countryside so drive down dark lanes in the winter most days and these sound like a good option)
Considering: Rear wheel steering - I have read the thread and like all Porsche things, those who have it deem it essential. Those who don't, mostly don't want it or feel you can live without it.
Don't want: anything that adds significant cost without any real benefit: extended leather interior (nice - but too expensive), pano roof (limited benefit to me I think), coloured seatbelts, painted bits on the outside (mirrors etc), ACC (not enough motorway driving), automated parking, comfort entry (security risk). Would like the 21in black Mission E wheels - but with the added special brakes this adds >£5k - so will avoid this option
Anyway, if there is anything that I really must have (!) or really don't need from the spec - please let me know.
Thanks,
