This is what exactly is stated on my build sheet at $2635.00 USD. If it's not included, I consider that bait and switch and not getting what I paid for. I know it may be a little petty, but how do other owners that ordered the P07 feel? Did anyone ask for compensation or anything in return for the false advertising?
I have ordered my car with this same option and unfortunately it does not have a seat memory as you indicated. There are couple of other items do not match what is advertised in the car window sticker such as the phone bluetooth option or in the car own manual such as the hill holding function. Hope this answers your question. Mark

Mark, did you ask about them omitting the memory function? If so what was their response? Tough deal with it, your lucky to have a GT3.

Hopefully, Porsche is implementing the compensation with delivery date despite their wording.

I received my check today. It is pro-rated to the day I took delivery of the car. That includes the 9 days it sat at the dealership waiting for the stickers.

All right, Sam! I see that you have received the proverbial blank check!!

I like that they used your delivery date...that should translate well for me if they do the same on mine.

Indeed! Please keep us posted but I doubt we would be treated differently.

Regarding the question on the memory buttons: I used "bait & switch" language and got a refund for the memory seat package. Send your concierge documentation that you paid for the package. and demand a refund. You should get it. I gave the car back after the check for the seats cleared.

Why stop at memory seats? I'm surprised that you didn't ask for a refund of the AWD system too since that is still listed on the configurator as standard.

It's not an option. It's listed on the Technical Specifications tab as standard. Just a mistake, like the memory seats.

Every other model that has the 18 way seats come with memory, so why omit it from the GT3. Oh that's right they wanted to save 8oz.! My 991 911, Panamera, and Cayenne all have/had memory.

Isn't that a "bait & switch" in itself?
