Default Where is the 3D configurator?

Yes Unity is now deprecated but I want my configurator back. Hopefully Porsche are adding ducktails, wings, side stripes and other new goodies such as the C2, C4 and manual gearbox renderings. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I actually sent feedback on the site the other day - the 3d configurator still worked in IE, and I wish they had kept it! (I do use Chrome 100% of the time except for accessing the configurator.)

With all the money Porsche grabs from us, it is sad they can not update their 3D plugin. Unity gave ample of time for devs to update using html5 for 3D.

Let's see if we can get their attention with a poll as it appears the 3D configurator has disappeared for other models too. Either its gone for good or they're quietly updating it??

It hasn't worked in Chrome for more than a year, if not longer. There used to be a button in the lower left corner that put you in a full 3D configurator - you could spin the car around, zoom in and out, and see every change reflected as you selected it. The regular configurator just has a few fixed views. Quite inferior to the 3D version.

Yeah, I noticed this the other day. I only had IE11 so that the 3D configurator would still work. Now nothing.

They gotta get this back up. For a company like this this is very bad.
