Glass window over trunk... $60K

to highlight silver, red, gold anodized and power-coated 12 cylinder engine replica model with moving parts and belts, festooned with Porsche crests and lit by hypnotically slowly color changing LEDs, along with hidden speakers that play the PSSS (Porsche Super Sport Sound) amalgam of F1, muscle car and Jet fighter sounds mixed together by an AI that studies petrolhead/gearhead/pistonhead people's addiction to engine noise.

Clarkson will proclaim: "that noise, that glorious noise!"
New Top Gear will go on about: A "propa" (proper) Electric Vehicle at last!

With this option, your Taycan will be the center of attention at the gas station. A special tank is fitted to allow you to fill up and drive the petrol home so you can pump it into one of your ICE cars without the general public knowing the better. Hellcat/Demon/Dark Horse owner's will break down in tears when they realize that their engines are silent, motionless and well let's face it, impotent, while shutdown to fill up their gas tanks, but the 12 cylinder Taycan never ever shuts down for anything EVER and the engine replica continues moving, shaking and randomly roaring so long as the HV SoC stays above 5%, even while completely stationary at the gas pump or at home in the garage. Now that's badass!

Add additional $30k option will allow you to actually BURN some of that gasoline in the a specially developed and Ruf-tuned 2-stroke lawnmower engine hidden in the trunk cubbie, and eject it out a tailpipe. Porsche analysts find that Taycan sales demand is expected to TRIPLE once the reconversion to a simulated ICE car is complete and the public can smell unburned hydrocarbons once again, thus believing that they'll be able to make it on 0% from a typically broken EA station to the next WalMart to charge up so long as they have a full tank of gas, although Porsche actually just changed the battery scale so that it says 0% when there's really 5%.

Oh, I thought we were going to add a mower deck for a second. That would be nice so I could go straight from mowing the lawn to an evening out with the Mrs.

Just kidding.

I don’t mow my own lawn.

Porsche has great options ready to go, they just don't have the imagination:

Taycan Exterior:
  • Palado ("woody")
  • Race-Tex
  • Neodyme

I would definitely order exterior in RaceTex. And also get RaceTex Protection Film.
