Let me know if there are any other "most desirable" options I left out. . . FWIW, my top 5 (currently - I reserve the right to change my mind!):

#1 rear axle steering
#2 sport seats
#3 club leather interior
#4 sport chrono package
#5 electric sport sound

I would add ACC, Matrix lighting, surround view and air suspension to the choice list.
I maxed out the number of options I could include in the poll after adding ACC. FWIW, ACC, surround view, and air suspension are all standard in the US. Matrix lighting is not. Perhaps I can swap that one out. UPDATE: It is not letting me change the options further. Sorry!

Don't quite understand why RAS is a top must have. This is a small SUV and really not needed IMHO.

I've had it on 2 Taycans over 4 years so do have knowledge of it before anyone asks.

Remember that the poll is asking for personal opinions, the answers will depend on the respondents experiences. I find RAS absolutely essential because it makes it possible to get into and out of our garage without backing up and making multi-point turns.

I like RAS because it is just so cool/impressive in what it adds to the feel of the car, even as a daily driver. That is why I rate it as my number one most desirable option. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Do I love it? Hell yes!

If I could add only one option, it would be Matrix LED lights.

Obviously, I didn't add just one option and ended up with £18,527 of options....ouch!!

Big difference between US perspective and European, living in Medieval city’s 😁

What is it about the matrix LED lights that stands out for you?

They make nighttime diving more relaxing, as they always provide maximum illumination without blinding oncoming cars.
I’ve had them in my last 5 cars, the last two were Tesla’s, so I had to wait to get them activated.

Hadn’t realised what zero options the car started with so I avoided adding leather interior and the matrix LED lights, both of which I greatly appreciate. Once you start on the “extras” you realise how cleverly Porsche has ramped up your spending…as they not really extras (in the true sense of the word) but necessary for the full Porsche experience..

Yeah -- ones you left out that I'd pick that aren't standard options (USA): (1) exterior colors (incl. badging colors); (2) interior colors; (3) compass with off-road precision app; (4) heated windshield; (5) surround view.
