Default U.S Car configurator glitch - "Sport Package" bonanza!

anyone been on the U.S Car configurator today?

991's are showing a 'Sport Package' option for $2060 containing:

- SportDesign Exterior Mirrors
- Sport Chrono Package
- Sports Exhaust System
- SportDesign Steering Wheel
- SportDesign Package

that's some deal, now if only it were selectable!

preparation for a GTS model and price point?

Ah, it's on the C2S build but not the C4S. Quite a bargain!

Sometimes when things seem too good to be true, they are just too good to be true. I like your thought around the GTS. That would seem like a valid bundle and price point.

I agree, its probably a glitch in the website, if it isn't I'd be clicking 'order' about now ... that's a pretty good saving over the individual components!

When I clicked on it, it came up "data error", configuration not available or something like that. Could be something in the works though, I guess.

me too ... could be a mistake ... but worth watching:

- Sport Chrono $1850/2370 (PDK)
- PSE $2950
- SD Mirrors $ 600
- SD wheel $ 250/490 (PDK)
- SD aero $4990

vs $2060...

if/when that becomes a real option, its time to order!

I'm going to keep an eye on this, its not offered in CA or in Europe (UK) and seems only to apply to the C2S and C2S Cabriolet in USA.

This could be an end of 991.1 2015 'special' offer (once it is selectable) and is a huge discount from the $11440 (PDK) or $10640 (7MT) for these components specified separately!

I wonder what it will do if selected with X51 powerkit?

Odd that we consider $2k a "bargain" when in actuality, none of that stuff will cost Porsche any more than installing the standard equipment. Profit Margin++

Except for the $15 chronometer display.

What are you doing here Nick? Shouldn't you be on the M3 forum? Or making a video somewhere?

I jest. I'll bet you're already configuring your new 2015 Carrera... going to give it one more try! What are the odds that you get two lemons in a row?
