We have a diesel with that... urea injection is pretty much urine, helps with the NOx

Factory installed paint protection film... but maybe not after seeing the stuff they put against the rear wheels. I take this back. No. No PPF from the factory. Just concentrate on building cars Porsche!

Custom Sport Button which would allow you to customize the shift points for each particular gear.

Overall I'm happy with how I can spec the 911. A couple ideas that may sell well:

1. Sport chronograph options. I don't know about you, but the chrono on the dash is wasted on me other than looking pretty. I would be cool if you could spec this with your favorite gauge (e.g. boost gauge for turbo models) or choose a standard clock. Especially now that the gauge cluster in the 992 will be moving to mostly digital from what we can tell.

2. 360 camera would be nice. The car is getting bigger and if you do any city driving/parking, it's a useful feature.

3. Dynamic modes instead of just Sport and Sport +. Mercedes has a great dynamic mode that lets you pick and choose your favorite aspects of each mode and SAVE that mode and default on cold starts.

Thats all I could think of for now.

An option to evict that Prius from the left lane.

Quick release driver seat system; you can get 18 ways for the street, and then with a minimum of fuss, easily done at home, you can remove and replace with LWB/harness for track work. All airbags and electronics work, lights don't go off, extra sliders and such aren't needed.

I used to track Miatas in the early 90s. The night before track day I'd loosen 4 bolts, unclip the electrical harness, lift the stock 35 pound seat out, set the Corbeau race seat in, 4 bolts into the floor, done.

Articulated door hinges like on the original Lexus SC--if the car gets any wider the doors will never open in a regular parking space.

Right and left cameras in rear to see backing out of parking spaces. Unless you're next to a small car, you can't see at all what's coming when backing out of a space.

Not so much an option, but a way to monitor your car as it is being built. A person could log-in and see their vehicle as it being assembled. I don't think that would be too difficult, if the factory would install a series of cameras along the assembly line and a computerized tracking system.
I am waiting for my GTS to be delivered. I would have the assembly on a loop

BMW used to do that and i loved it. It made me feel like I was buying a premium car. Although the car is gone, I still have the video.
