What's wrong with that? Even a 675LT is offered with parking sensors front and rear, back-up camera, memory power seats, a killer stereo, etc. (all absent from Porsche GT cars), and it beats the crap out of an RS, so definitely not mutually-exclusive. You can order any McLaren, Ferrari, etc., with that stuff and more. I don't understand why Porsche doesn't offer that on its GT cars, like everybody else. They're the masters at making money on options, after all
. And yes, parking sensors are especially important on low cars with uber-expensive lips/spoilers/bumpers. And if you let your wife drive the car, just press a button and it's back to your setting. Nothing wrong with some luxury on your sports car.

Ferrari has those extras because they don't make usable sports cars, just cars for posing and cars & coffee.
Porsche GT cars are supposed to be true sports cars, and need to be as light as safety regulations will allow.

memory power seats mean you arent hardcore because you need power seats, and because you are ok with more weight in your car due to power seats you arent hardcore and because you let your wife drive "your" car you are a victim in your relationship (jk) memory seats suck, this is my car, no wife can, no kids can, nobody but me drives, so no need for the weight or complication, if I get a 20 yo girlfriend from the Czech republic and she wants to drive a Porsche, Ill buy her a Macan
Ingaven a backup camera

I think they should just fractionate the entire Porsche production into 'Special Editions'.
Every one of them limited to 911 copies---"Ja, zey alveys like ven ve make somezing mit der 911 in it.."
Then, charge no less than $175,000 for any copy of any iteration.
Extra $12,000 if you'd like leather seats. $4000 for a radio. AM only.
That should keep riffraff like most of us from darkening the dealers' doors, and FINALLY earn Porsche the money they'd like to see from their production.
Pirates.

Fresh info or old info. I asked about a month ago in Germany. Silence as an answer. Got a little more info about gt2rs that I can't share at this moment. But, cup edition I got nothing.

Oh, by the way. Anyone ordering their 675LT with cameras, power seats and stereo should IMO immediately have their car taken away from them self.

Sebring paddock you can reverse a Boeing during a DE weekend.
Hey, even the RSR I saw at Daytona had a back up camera in it.
