Default 3D configurator on Mac

Anyone know how to visualize the configurator in 3D with Mac Osx?

Doesn't work anymore unfortunately. The issue is the Microsoft Silverlight plugin which is only supported until Safari 11.X. So far, the only way to use the 3D / 360 Mode is by using Internet Explorer 11 under Windows 8 / 10 (BootCamp / Parallels in MacOS). Even Microsofts latest browser Edge doesn't support Silverlight anymore.

Spoke to a friend of mine at Porsche. They won’t do that in the short- to midterm. They will continue to pre-render the car with all options in “almost real-life” lighting since this is more suited for mobiles & tablets. So similar to the new Cayenne and 992 configurator.

Interesting, thanks!
Me personally, don't find it serious to configure your car on a mobile phone...

If you look at the McLaren configurator in terms of lighting and options Porsche is surprisingly in the dark ages.
