Blue accents look great. When are you expecting delivery and did you order through the local WPB dealership?

Loaded build. Are you asking for feedback on your build? For example, I see that you also did not option Summer tires for your wheel choice if that was your intention since they come with All-Season tires standard.

Yes. They were great. Shopped both them and champion. Delivery in late Feb.

That is my intention.

My SA from WPB was great. The Naples dealership just offered me a higher % off MSRP for a custom build otherwise I would have likely went through WPB.

Circle back on this thread or @ me when you take delivery. Would love to see photos of your build when it gets in.

Cheers

Let me chime in on the build with the following feedback. I understand that the theme is more around looks than function, but let me make a case for the function of the options below you did not choose:

Sport Sound - I drove a Macan 4 with it and was not impressed but it did not have a Sports Chrono and it was not a Turbo. The Turbo with Sports Chrono would have at least 4 different variations of the sound, with a functional benefit of assisting passengers with car sickness as it gives sound and vibration feedback into the cabin.

Thermal Glass - I mentioned on this thread already that one of the functional benefits outside of the obvious is the thickness that helps when you have frameless doors.

InnoDrive - The main benefit is ALK that works from 0mph and effectively Traffic Jam Assist, where ACC only works at higher speeds. This function cannot be added after the delivery, at least not at this time.

Air Quality - Ionizer helps your cabin filter to work more efficiently. I change my cabin filters DYI every 5k miles as they get dirty that quick and then start building mold.

Smoking Package - this is a free insert that you can use for some storage or sell for $60.

115-V Trunk Socket - small cost for an option that can be useful in emergency.

First and most important thanks for the feedback.

1) Sport sound - I despise it. Sorry, can’t be kind here. Coming from Tesla (not a fan so we can save those who will call me a fan boy) and having had very loud cars in the past, I love the silence.

2) Thought about this. The asterisk about possible decreases in cell reception kept me from moving forward.

3) I prefer to drive versus have my car drive. I’ve never used FSD.

4) Good point, will see if I can add that.

5) Good point.

Just submitted my order for a custom build Macan Turbo. Live in Miami, FL, but after shopping around for discounts, submitted my order through the Naples, FL dealership. They were much more helpful and took 6% off MSRP on my custom spec. build.

Wondering if anyone has ordered or received delivery of a custom spec build and could share pictures. Particularly interested in seeing the green leather interior, and turbonite accents, both interior and exterior, in real life.

Here's my build link: https://porsche-code.com/PSMJNTR9
Code: PSMJNTR9

Dealer spec sheet with prices also attached.

I'm expecting delivery around March - April of 2025. Cannot wait! Thanks in advance to anyone who can share pictures of their Turbos.

Cheers!

Few suggestions:
- there are pictures of the green leather elsewhere on this forum. It looks different than in the configurator. The Romans already knew not to dispute about colors and tastes, but might be worthwhile to reconsider especially since you go black all the way on anything else. Maybe a full leather option in black or black/chalk or the Blackberry/black (which I have and is quite dark but very stylish)?
- again, with the Roman caveat about colors and tastes, maybe to break the monotone black in the interior, especially in case you'd step away from the green - consider the accent package in Neodyme. It isn't bling gold, but a stylish matte goldish color - I have it and I think I posted pictures here elsewhere on the forum?
- would maybe consider to make the brake calipers black in line with your full black choice?
- would maybe consider to have the sill guards in black aluminium illuminated?
- I am not a fan of the Electric Sports Sound - why to buy an electric car that sounds like a fake gasoline car? I didn't spec it on mine and I don't miss it at all - the nice hum of the electric motors when accelerating is good enough for me.
- I agree with the other comments to add the Sports Chrono package. I have it on my Turbo and the car is noticeably accelerating faster in Sports Plus than Normal/Sports mode. Also easier to keep track of time as the time on the dash is quite small on the bottom left configurable screen.
- Would also consider the Air Quality System - it actively scrubs the air and monitors inside and outside air quality real time.
- I have the bespoke illuminated seat badge in neodyme "Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur" - it's a nice touch.

Will have to consider the illuminated badge. Do you have a picture you can share for yours? Interested to see how it looks in person because I’d spec it like you mentioned.

Sure. This is the best I have for the moment as I haven't taken delivery yet. It looks very good with my spec which is black leather with Turbonite accents and stitching.


Illuminated "Turbo" badge with Turbonite background...

mine looks like this (with the blackberry/bramble seats) - Neodyme.

Very nice. I had Blackberry and Neodyme on my first Taycan, and it's a great combination.

 

[byebye]

Mine as well

Looks great. Is that limestone beige or chalk?

Does anyone know if adjusting your build/specs delays your delivery window or can I make changes until the freeze date without delaying delivery?

My order is submitted, deposit paid, but freeze date isn’t until February.

until freeze date you should be able to change without impact. I did changes twice between paying deposit and the lock/freeze date.
