it is a bold choice! I love the red paintwork, just not sure about the wheels.
Don’t think it’s for me as I went for plain old black and wasn’t brave enough to have a bright colour.
but a car is a personal choice and all that matters is if it’s right for you.

why not get the sport package with the rear wheel steering? From what I recall it saves a ton of money over the separate options.

Also sport chrono seems mandatory with this generation as it has the "push to pass" button to make the car properly responsive if you in a mode outside of sport+. Then add in the easy mode changes to avoid playing with the center stack... Plenty of people here have mentioned the 4S/Turbo is less than responsive at low rpm in normal mode.

I built my Turbo Sport Turismo with options focused on performance. ETA 2/2/18.

My build:

Chalk exterior
Leather interior in black
Sport Package w/ silver exhaust tips, incl sport chrono and 4-wheel steer
PDCC
21" Sportdesign wheels in black
Steering wheel heating
All season tires
Carbon fiber interior package
ACC/PAS
4-zone climate control
smoking pkg
Model designation painted (black)
18-way adaptive sport seats
storage package
voice control (not on the configurator)
window trim in gloss black
Premium package plus with cooled seats front only
LCA
LED matrix headlights PDLS+

This will be my ski car, delivery in February. Hence the 4-season tires; they'll be replaced when the snow melts.

Good points - many thanks for replies. Will add Sport Chrono.
I had thought go thew smoking package ( I do not smoke btw), but the dealer mentioned that it requires that I delete the rear USB which is very handy, so I passed.

You indicated you ordered "all season tires" but that is not listed on your order sheet above and I don't see it listed in the "Configuration" online tool?? I also ordered the 21" black sport design wheels and they come with the Pirelli summer tires. I'm curious what specific tires you will be getting if you know?

Looking at the ST version in the video below, I'd definitely go for black wheels as well:

If you look under the "wheel accessories" in the configurator you'll find the all-season 21" tires listed, at least in the USA configurator. The only 21" all season tires on the Tire Rack website are the Pirellis and the Contis, so I assume it'll will be one or the other.
