Hmmm, looks to be regional. I don't see it for Canada...

What is the new logo accent package?

It doesn't seem to allow you to add it right now.

All options seem to be available on the configurator, but it “freezes” on the info screen and requires back-arrow to change the page.

Correct me if I’m wrong: if one doesn’t like the “standard” wheel choice, the ONLY way to get the alternate wheel is with Weissach package. Once selecting Weissach, the alternate wheel is included at no addition cost above the $13, 250. Since WP seems to be primarily cosmetic touches (no significant weight savings), the “real” value is the alternate forged magnesium wheels.

I do not like the look of the standard wheels, but not sure I’d choose WP to ONLY get wheels I prefer. I’m not certain I’d want all the exposed exterior carbon fiber. I’d have to see in person to know (and I suppose if I am at the “back-of-the-line” there’s a decent chance I’d see some examples before I must finalize my build).

I love my 718 GT4 PDK (PTS Slate Grey Y97). The RS version is tempting for many reasons, but I’m also wondering if I want to spend more for a car that’ll be significantly less comfortable (stiffer suspension/ride) and louder in the cabin. And….will I like the Arctic Gray as much as my PTS Slate? Can’t know that until seen in person.

The good news (assuming I get a build slot) is that I’d probably have at least a year or more to decide.

Seems a bit…excessively priced IMO

I was hoping the option for the broad center strip on the hood was optionable already. AP mentioned it would be available.

Yeah, it sounds like it will be VERY noisy in the car. A noise most of us love, but on HIGH, all the time? I think that is fairly significant consideration, except for a pure track mule. I am a little worried about my regular old spyder being more than my gf will tolerate.

Should be able to modulate the loudness with your right foot

the solution to the significant other problem in a loud, fast car is a glass of wine (for them) before drive. Stop for one or two more glasses (for them). Finish it off by parking the car and having a bottle of wine for everyone.

You do know that in reality the $13250 WP is for CF on engine cover, side blades, air intake and removal of paint frunk and wing and DOES NOT include the little front window triangles. Now they want you to pay again to get paint back onto those 2 pieces. Pretty smart of PAG, don't you think?.
