Hi all,

Just looking at Autocar this am. It doesn't look like much as the bulge on the rear hatch is most probably the back up camera. Also it is the 2nd time they mention a £5k premium ($9,000!!!) for the Panoramic sunroof. I recently changed my UK order from S to Turbo and dealer lister the option at £1,850 vs £790 for normal moonroof. If you apply the same increase to US, it would be around $2,350. Don't see many takers at 9k for sure....
Other tweaks they mention seems to be the sport tail pipes and sport design rear valance but we should see....

Backup camera.

 

Panoramic Roof System. The Porsche Finland website has a pricelist that quotes this option at 2,750 Euros; option code 3FU.

 

Thanks GM. These pictures even made it to the '05 brochure I got in June so not quite sure what Autocar is getting excited about.....My dealer says 1st month of production for Pano sunroof is Jan '05. Although I have seen pano sunroof in other cars and in the UK, given the general lack of sunshine it could be a nice option for bringing light into the car. The Porsche Germany configurator lists it for € 3,190 so for once UK isn't the most expensive! However not sure if it is worth the money also might create more problems with lot of moving parts...I am really undecided, might go for a quick visit to the Paris show to check it out for myself.

2750 euros is a tax-free price.
Normal retail price in Finland for panoramic sunroof is 5270 euros
