It's a guards read, aerokit cup, full black leather with SC, PSE and Bose. 14-ways.

The buttons look like it has ventilated seats. Not sure whether that might have been included in the launch vehicles?
Actually this isn't an original aerokit cup. It has the sportdesign front spoiler (not cup) and seems to have gotten the cup wing later. The wing is also black on the top, so maybe aftermarket.
It's not a "launch vehicle" - otherwise it would be described as such in the build sheet. (My previous 991S was a launch vehicle.) I don't see ventilated or heated seats on build sheet, either. As for the Aerokit Cup - see what STG said...

Oh wait, no PSP...an obvious deal-breaker... (j/k)
In all seriousness, is not having PSP a big deal to most of you? In other words, if you purchased a CPO vehicle with PSP, would you pay your dealer to take it off?
My incoming vehicle does have it, and I think every 991 I test drove during my search had it as well, so I haven't had the opportunity to experience the difference.

It's a bad joke that won't die, confusing to newbies who really don't understand that all referrals to it being an important option are sarcastic... Nobody really wants or needs PSP.
It is the antithesis of an essential option, and that I guess is the heart of the sarcasm. Hurricane can't seem to resist poking fun at the option in virtually every post. The problem is that Porsche has so many options and features with similar acronyms: PSM good. PASM good. PSE good. PDCC good or bad depending on who you ask. SPASM usually good depending on how/where you drive. PSP worthless. Most newbies can't keep all the acronym/options straight, so it's confusing when the cool kids constantly refer to a useless option as an important option.
If you buy a car with the option, you can have the dealer turn it off with their PIWIS programmer (likely for an hour labor charge) or just live with the overboosted steering at very low speeds.

IMO it's best not to overthink this stuff. Just make sure it's an "S" (at least) and you have the right transmission for YOU (not the next owner). Then just drive it and enjoy it!
Porsche went to Electric steering on the 991 after hydraulic up to the 997 as a standard feature.
PSP = Power Steering Plus is an option. Purely software that gives you even more ease when turning the wheel at slower parking lot speeds (maybe up to 20mph). Most will say OVERKILL! Can be dealer installed and uninstalled.

Both my previous and current 991S have PSP. I like it - the car is very easy to maneuver around a parking lot. I also autocross and don't notice any different steering feel during runs (it is only implemented at lower speeds).
That being said, not sure I would spec it out on a new one but as far as a used or CPO one...if it has it, fine, I won't go through the trouble of deactivating it (it works just fine for me). If a used or CPO didn't have it, that would be fine, too.
I agree with Hurricane, I kinda like it. Albeit, I'm not a experienced race car driver or track my car. Mine is a DD. IMHO it's not a big deal. If you find a car you like with the other important options that you need and it does or doesn't have PSP forget about it and get your car.
If it has it I wouldn't spend the money to get rid of it. I had a 997 4S and loved that car. When the 991 came out lots of people said the interior had to many new creature comforts and didn't have the feel of a true Porsche anymore. As a DD I really like the improvements. To each his own I guess......I remember when I was looking and obsessing about all the options, my pal STG helped me figure it out. It's already difficult to find all the things you have to have along with color etc, trust me I know! Ha This car is unreal and you'll love it. Just my option......
Good luck and have fun!
