I hear PLDS is going to be a ~3k option, but you can't order ventilated seats or Bluetooth with it...

PLDS consists of a gimbal mounted cupholder with integrated steam wand for latte reheating, foaming and texturing. Engine waste heat recovery insures PLDS is the highest performance carbon-neutral latte maintenance system ever devised.

Note: the use of over-sized "venti" beverage containers may void your new car warranty.

Not to stray from the fray...but driving that RS on the street with what seems nothing less than a Cup style wing is funny, unless you actually track it. Reminds me of this car...lol

Not going with PLDS...the darn centre-stir mechanism requires a $4k service after 100 cups, and warranty is voided if its not Starbucks. (Dealer told me.."If you can come up with the bucks for the RS, you can come up with the Starbucks".

Yet another overpriced Porsche option!
Im gonna hot-glue a Chinese Expresso machine to the roof & drill a hole down through the headliner, for a big savings!

And here I thought the newly liberated right hand (left in UK and its former colonies) would handle all latte duties. Leave it to Porsche over-engineer everything….

Anyone notice that the Michelin website shows pilot sport cup 2 coming in size 325/30-21?
21" RS tires look likely?

You can see the larger rear on the test mules, 20" f, 21" r looks likely.

I have wondered that too...a little over the top for a street car.
