My 2025 Cross Turismo 4S build

[LukeV]

Hi!

Considering moving from my Macan GTS to a Taycan.

Opinions on my configuration welcomed!

Consider the surround parking camera (bundled with the active parking support). For such a big/wide car, I think it's essential.

Nice spec! Love the color - very bold!

You are going to the opposite direction of my spec - mine is completely comfort oriented: with premium package and all driving assistance options. Yours is very performance oriented - kinda like my 992 911 carrera S which I traded for the Taycan.

It really depends on how you envision yourself using the car. Performance wasn’t really my focus. I mostly wanted it to be enjoyable and engaging to drive every day and also comfortable and practical for long trips.

Totally agree. Rear only camera is really bad quality.
I could not find anything else essential missing given the overall theme of the build.

Going to be one great car though as you asked, with my standing back and venturing a FWIW option, are your chosen wheels at $7,170 (then tax on that amount) worth over 1/3 of your total options. No other much cheaper wheels work for you? Or put differently, what amount of happiness would spending a lot less on those wheels and using the amount saved to buy other options create the same amount or even more happiness to you?

I too need wheels that I like, so just asking….

Ditto as posted above, the need for the surround parking camera to be added to your order —-for scuffing even one of your expensive wheels without that camera system, is going to create your much unhappiness.

Not a boring combo. Are you going leather-free because of budget or by conviction ?

Have you had a chance to experience the sound?

I had two cars at the PEC with the sound, but even on the track I turned it off.
I personally really don't need the additional sound. But people are different, just something I'd consider dropping.

Consider:
-tire options - summer tires are standard
-ventilated front seats
-adaptive cruise control

Two thoughts:
1. I think the race tex headliner is a huge upgrade over the standard cloth. Probably not worth it if you did the glass roof but with the (very sleek / double bubble) metal roof I would seriously consider it.
2. When you add the third seat in back the outboard back seats change to a shape more similar to the 14 way seats. If you have only two rear seats they more closely resemble the front seats. If you think you would actually use the third seat in the rear then that obviously matters more than better aesthetic coordination between the front and rear seats… but if you just checked the box because it was inexpensive and could possibly be useful someday, you should consider that tradeoff (if you haven’t already).

Agree re surround camera.

For some the 40/20/40 split is more important than the third seat you get.

Should be a cool car. I personally would opt for leather ventilated seats, HUD & surround view for sure. Those rims are my favorite too.

I prefer Race-Tex but added the surround view in my latest configuration: https://porsche-code.com/PS3AQX46

Changed the rims as well and some small bits here and there...

I'll give them a chance until I see actual photos haha, but I much prefer the other rims (I think). I just typically don't care for the rims with the deeper lips. The exterior still looks good though. ?
