If I go do a newly laid road, where they have put a tonne of loose stones on, I slow down etc. Even then you can hear them being flicked up (UK drivers will know exactly what I mean) , there's been no damage/chips.

The sport design package makes the car look so much better.
it definitely looks good. I always prefer monochromatic painted lower trim, but I’m torn here. I feel it makes the car look a little bloated with the painted bottoms. The black trim give it a sleeker silhouette. I’m torn since I will be spec ing a new GTS. Plus the front painted lip will get a ding eventually and drive me crazy.

I had a nasty chip on the front of my old one, so I know what you mean, but so far none on this one after a year.
I think the painted trim around the exhaust tips makes it look sportier, I watch my business partner with the same car and colour, and honestly its gorgeous with the white sport trim at the back.
Probably on a GTS is it a must ? Maybe depends on the colour your going for.
Try go see two cars side by side. We both did and decided its worth the money.

Totaly agree - the butt (especially the trim around teh exhaust tips) take the car to a new level...
and the front lower bumper in complete glossy black...

You wouldn’t happen to know a website that offers custom seat belt colour options for the new Panamera?

Decided to get the full SportDesign package. GT Silver over Cohiba. Car should be here in late Feb/early Mar. Thanks for the enabling gentlemen!

That’s an amazing combination of colors. Was just looking at that last night.

Not to go off topic, but did you order the dynamic chassis control as well I hear that is a necessary option.

Yes, PDCC is included on the turbo s, I imagine because of the additional battery weight. Finally Porsche includes something standard - I feel like I almost got a deal...

FYI the cohiba color on the configurator is way off. Originally ordered truffle but changed my mind once I saw the cohiba in person. Here's a better photo (not mine):

Yes, basically this car with SportDesign package: https://presskit.porsche.de/models/e...-metallic.html

Do you have some input?

Nah, it's more of personal preference thing. Different tastes for different people and all that... generally I don't like combining cool color exterior with a warm color interior and vice versa. Plus all my P car interiors, I've ordered them with the 2-tone where the dash, steering and floors were black. Monotones, especially the bright ones are just too overwhelming for me.

This move seems controversial. However, I had the lower trim pieces painted to match. It doesn’t look as good as the sport design kit, but I think improves the look dramatically for a fraction of the price. I would have ordered the sport design kit, but I took this one off the lot.

Ahh. I thought dash, steering was black as well like the other brown. That is a lot of one color.

No error light. I don't remember if they reprogrammed something or disconnected the fuse...
