Total Vehicle Price $92,415

I've included a few options that I'm hoping will appear soon. Also, I tried to replicate the options of the turbo launch-car interior, did I miss anything? One note, Porsche needs to fix the color of the car that comes up as "N4 - Dark Blue Metallic" in the configurator (that same color option code looks different for other models).

pretty much what I specced, although I am waiting for the sapphire blue met (the color the L.A Macan S was rendered in)...

its a pretty sweet spec ... you should do factory delivery too!

Hah, I did notice that and I agree! I actually added the fire exinguisher, Porsche Car Connect, and Online Services after seeing your list, thanks! Good point on the factory delivery also, need to think that through some more, could be fun.

BTW, I am still on the fence about Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, any thoughts on that?

I subsequently thought I would also add the Fire Ext, Online Svcs and Car Connect too!!!

If you are a Porsche-o-phile and you have never been to Zuffenhausen you MUST go! ... its a bucket list item ... factory tour, museum tour ... and a vacation in europe with your new Macan!!!

As for PTV+ if I was speccing a 991, Cayman or Boxster I would add PTV+ just because of the handling benefits of in-corner handling ... on an SUV its harder to say since I wonder how much harder such cars will be driven in the corners vs a sports car ...

If you plan to drive the snot out of it then I would probably add it ...

My personal goal is to beat the E92 M3s BtoG time at the Nordschleife so I will spec it on my Turbo!

If you don't mind me chiming in, I have PTV+ on my 2011 Cayenne S and would recommend it on the Macan. Even if you're not pushing the car hard on track, you'll notice the sharp and responsive turn in into corners that PTV offers. Also, the "+" feature is significant as it gives you an electronic continuously variable limited slip differential which is much more effective than a regular mechanical LSD both for performance and on low traction surfaces.

Good point - I had forgotten about that aspect, makes it a "must have" I think over and above the better turn in et al...

The only other options I would mention are:

- the exterior "black trim" package; this is highly subjective, but I personally am not a fan of chrome trim around windows etc ...

- (purely speculation at this point) Porsche Sports Exhaust

I think its worth waiting till wk 10 to see what additional options appear on the configurator!

Now all I have to do is figure out a way for my X5 to get stolen or to spontaneously combust (while I am not in it!)

"Black trim" is definitely still under consideration, thanks for the tip!

Regarding PSE, that box would definitely be checked if offered. Interestingly the Cayenne S has this option, the Cayenne GTS includes PSE as standard equipment, and the Cayenne Turbo only has the sport tailpipes as an option. Does anyone know why the Cayenne Turbo didn't get PSE? Perhaps it has a slighty sportier exhaust to begin with and the PSE wouldn't add as much?

Start the wk 10 options countdown!

I'm *guessing* the Cayenne turbos exhaust is/was different/PSE...
