Took the plunge on a 918
After being on the fence for a long time, I took the plunge and placed my deposit for a 918.
Here's my spec, am I missing anything?
- dark metallic blue
- authentic mocha leather
- silver piping (instead of acid green)
- front lift
- sliver trim on seatbelt
- sliver calipers (I was told this is possible but not on configurator)
I didn't do the W package since I would just add back most what it took out. The only thing I really liked where the wheels.
Should be a good companion to my incoming satin polar silver P1!
Thanks!
Charles

Hmmm... P1 and 918....That will make for an interesting decision come drive day.
Congrats!
If I was doing one (and I'm not, I cancelled my deposit), I sure like this black and white one:

To consider:
Alcantara steering wheel
The acid washed rims look awesome in person (terrible on the configurator)
Less reflective dash
Don't forget that cup holder, or the dealer will charge you $5K for the part been after delivery

The Weissach wheels can be ordered separately on the regular car.
The anti-glare matte carbon package is good to have, but for that you will need to put in a CXX order in order to keep the colour trim around the base, if not the whole dash piece will be matte black while the door pieces will still have the colour trim.
Check all the no-cost options, the cup holder, home link, the seat pad, etc. Not many chance you get for freebie Porsche options. Don't go for the factory stone guard film, they only cover tiny sections and you are better off having a wrap guy do the whole car.
Leather or alcantara steering wheel is just a personal choice.
If you don't order the carbon floor mats, I believe the car won't come with any. Not even basic black carpet one.
Colour key option also entitled you to a customized leather key pouch, if not it will just be black al lthe way around.
The Weissach pack car is on paper 84k more than the basic car, but if you add up all the standard order-able options like exterior carbon wing, roof mirrors, wheels etc, those will be over 77k already. So in effect you will be paying 7k for stuff that can't be added back to the standard car, i.e. a carbon windshield surround, the exterior aero bits, i.e. 2 rear flaps and 2 extra trim on the front fender vents, plus all the light weight internal components.
The difference in price is almost negligible after factoring everything.
Whatever stuff the Weissach pack deletes can be added back no-charge, even the front hood struts which is replaced by a carbon fiber rod to prop up the hood. Door handles, door storage pockets, glove box, etc are all no-cost add back options like the air-con and sound system.
You also add silver stitching to the steering wheel to match the interior piping, it's not on the dealer option list but it is an option.
Wheels can be custom painted if you don't like the standard silver, it will be a 5800 option, same price as the platinum satin finish.

Congrats.
That's going to be quite a stable you'll have there.
