Default What is "Kein Text in der sprache 'E' vorhanden!"

Saw this on the window sticker of my carrera T picked up yesterday.

Is it a typo (really??) or something else?

Literal translation: there is no text in the language available

I'd generate a build sheet for your car's VIN, then look up the option codes here, to see if there's a match:

My German is a little rusty, but the concept near as I can tell is that "there's no availability of "something" in that language." I am intrigued because whatever it is seems to cost $1,600.

Exact translation "no text in the language E available"

If it weren't for the fact that it is $1,600 line item, it would be funny. Just Porsche being Porsche.

Whatever item was to be listed there, it's not available in E (which I am guessing is english) language.

That’s the result of a software error handling and testing bug.

Somebody noticed that "BOSE sound system" translated to "BAD sound system," and the marketing department fixed the bug.

The option is not available and since you tried to order it, you will be punished to the tune of $1600.
