It is not tied to anything else and launch control is standard. I initially didn't order it but after playing with the 3 D configurator many times, I decided it created a nice visual appeal so I added it on. I have it on my C4S and to me, it does not look like a wart.

Ok that's what I thought. I probably wouldn't order it but I'm so used to having it on my Cayman S that it would feel strange not having it.

So what is the logic in the front lift option being included in Australia?

Homelink must be standard on the US page. I don't see that as an option.

Not sure TBH, but I would have ordered it anyway.

They already charge them so much more than anyone else, that there so enough margin to throw in a few options and still rape them silly. they also realize no cars will be sold if they're undrivable on some bad ozzy roads.. It's a self-preservation tactic by Porsche. I

I've driven in Australia. Nice roads actually! Better than some
of our roads in US cities. I find it funny how car marketing departments come up with these differences in each market.
