What option is this?

[trematix]

I've seen a handful of taycans with these front skirts and side skirts but can't find any option on the build sheet. This is a Turbo but havent seen this on all turbos.

That is standard on all Turbos. If those pieces aren't color matched, the Turbo is optioned with something else, customized, or isn't a Turbo.

This is the exclusive trim to Turbo and Turbo S

If a Turbo does not appear to have it, then it has the Carbon Package which disguises it a little.

If you order the carbon package on a non turbo, it does get this front clip, but in carbon.

As for the sideskirts, they are standard on the Turbo and Turbo S with body color trim, or Carbon trim on the carbon package, and also can be upgraded individually on non Turbo cars as the sport package sideskirts. These are standard on the GTS as well, but with gloss black instead of body color.

The confusion is understandable, the options are endless

Here is my GTS with the standard non carbon package front lower spoiler, and after I installed the Suncoast motorsports kit to upgrade to the turbo front clip, but painted in black instead of body color to match my other gloss black trim. just to confuse things

Turbo S has carbon standard (front, side & rear), not painted body color.

Sports Design pack with additional painting.

It may be a Turbo but not a Turbo S (brakes are the giveaway. It could be a 4S or GTS with the PSCB brakes and black painted calipers.

Sport design kit changes the front bumper with wider intake vents, but does not change the front lower lip unless you get the carbon package.

The painted lower front lip and sideskirt is Turbo only, painted sideskirt is available with sport design sideskirt upgrade on 4s or lower, Turbo S it seem comes standard with carbon instead of body color.

Just to add...the Turbo Cross Turismo has a different design (at least, for the sideskirts- not sure about the front) for which body-coloured elements are not included nor available as an option (well, not unless spec'd in Gloss Black on a non-metallic black body).

Front Lip:
The only Taycan model that gets that specific "body color matched" lower front bumper "flip up" lip is the Turbo sedan.
The Turbo S sedan gets the same "shape" lip as the Turbo, but in Carbon, with no option to make it body color. All other models get a differently shaped lower lip. So it's a Turbo.

Side skirts:
Those are the Turbo sedan "standard" side skirts, as opposed to the sedan "sport design" side skirts. As with the front lip, you get that specific shape with body color matched inserts only on the Turbo sedan. The "sport design" side skirt option on other sedan models also has body-color inserts, but with a slightly different insert shape. So again it's a Turbo.

You can buy a Turbo where those the circled body-color parts do not look like the photo by:
a) Selecting the "Exterior Package in High Gloss Black" option, which will black out the body color stuff.
b) Selecting the "Sport Design Package" which will, among other changes, change the shape of the side skirt inserts.
c) Selecting the "SportDesign Package in High Gloss Black" option which also blacks out the body color inserts.
d) Selecting the "SportDesign Package in Carbon Fiber" option which turns the body color inserts to carbon.
e) Selecting the "SportDesign Side Skirts" which will slightly change the shape of the side skirt inserts.

Can someone please remove this working-on-my-configuration-way-too-much information from my head, now that I have taken delivery of my car.

On the other hand, you could just paint it and get that gap in the center too!

Nice. I got 4S. I don't like the standard plastic. Was this an option or you did this your self?

 

[4thPcar]

I am jealous of all your vehicles but I just gotta say, y'all have too much time on your hands!

 

[trematix]

THanks for the response! So many options, I cant keep up

Pawel:
Had the painting done locally, but I did see another that had been done with a spray can & it looked pretty good surprisingly.
