could buy one easy for msrp.
june delivery.
but normal seats.
urge is strong on performante.
Yes they are going for msrp or slightly under. I specced mine out about a year ago so didn’t really look too much at other options. I do, however, have the racing sport seats and wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t think they are that uncomfortable and unless you are using car as a daily or driving on long trips this is the way to go. Normal seats on the Performante is like non lwbs in the Gt3 . Imo a complete No
absolute! to the OP
MT (?) .2GT3 + Performante
is better as
1. or .2GT3RS + Performante

Actually i drive the GT3 more than the Performante as i can drive the GT3 to work and other places i wouldn't consider driving the Performante too. They are both fun cars but the GT3 is much less conspicuous. As for the race seats in the Performante they are like planks of wood. I did not spec mine with them. I did however spec my GT3 with the LWBS as they are sofas compared to the Lambo race seats. Oh another reason i didn't go with them in the lambo was there is no height adjustment like the GT3 and im short.

Now if Lamborghini would install a gated 6-speed manual in the Performante it would be instant classic........

The Performante did way better than the GT3, but i was pushing the Performante harder as i had a Huracan before so was more comfortable with it. This is my first Porsche and only had a few hundred miles on it when i took it to the track. The car has Xpel on 100% of the car, same with the GT3.

On both cars the finish is glossy so this turned them into matte. For your car which is already matte. The finish if it gets nicked you will have a very hard time blending the paint. You will end up having to respray a whole panel. That's why I believe for matte paints it's good to have the xpel.

Sold my 575M a few years ago. Gorgeous and Delightful to drive with a V12 Engine and steering to die for, but too many things broke too often. I never left home without my favorite tow service on speed dial.
With 458 reliability much improved, I Test drove a 488 recently but found the throttle response in street driving to be surprisingly anemic, even when Manettino was set at "Race", most responsive position.
Turbos seemed to have excessive lag. On boost it was great, but not very often you get into the boost region in traffic. Both my Porsche TTS and AMG have far better Turbo throttle response in traffic.
Have you also noticed that with your 488?
