Are you in the States?

I have not seen the power kit listed yet and was wondering what it is running.

No I'm not, I'm in Dubai, UAE. It's even still not on our system. But contact the dealership, they can make calls to equip it for you. The Australian Porsche website has it. Prices are different though. It cost me about 12k, it comes with sports exhaust and sports chrono.

Shall I add carbon fiber steering wheel, does it go well with agate leather? Or should I keep it as is. Just agate multi functional?

Nice build! I was looking at the carbon fibre steering wheel but 2 dealers told me not to do it because they get very hot in the sun...given you are in Dubai, you might not want to get it...

I think the Sports Design steering wheel is very nice looking and the paddle shifts work better than the button shifts.

The spec looks great. Its going to be a flyer! Are you getting the PASM sport suspension or does it come standard with the Powerkit?

August production is quick so not too long a wait. There are some here (like myself) who have September production dates! Arghhh!

Ramadan Greetings!

Ah! Thanks for your feedback, it's true it's too sunny here. I won't go with the carbon fiber then.

Pasm 10mm comes standard with S but there is an optional 20mm which I didn't take with my order.
Thanks for the comments , keep them coming !

If you are going to get silver ext. why not silver paint your key? or get the yellow ext to match with your color key?

Wanted be a little playful, bits of the interior are yellow like the seat belt and the chrono dial, thought the key will give some contrast too, it being yellow. I'm thinking of painting the 'S' in the rear logo yellow too! It is sad that nothing on the outside tell that it has a power kit.

Very nice build. Are you aware that the Pebble Grey is a really light colored leather? I was going to order it but my dealer showed me one that he had in stock. It was too light for me. I ordered the black/grey full leather and am pleased with it.

Wow, nice build! Trying to get more details for the power kit here in the US, but they are few and far between with them yet.

I give up, what are "Trim-strips in high gloss finish"?.....I know what the trim strips are and maybe that means they are the same as in the US,....a high gloss silver finish. Just wanted to know if they were something different.

Now to spend more of your money,.....you should be able to get the trim strips (door and dash) in Carbon Fiber (I have it on order) and this would look really smart with the two tone grey interior. Then you can add the CF wheel and the gear shift / console surround to tie it all together,.....just a thought.

WOW! It's a $33,000 option!!! That's got to be the most expensive option ever available on a Porsche.

Thanks for the feedback..

I saw the Two tone pebble grey and agate grey on a boxer recently in the dealership..I liked it! but the lighter pebble will get dirty quick..that's the only downside to me..which will make me take more care.


Trim-strips in high gloss finish are just the chrome strips all around the windows. That's a nice combination of carbon fiber, but since i wont go with the carbon fiber steering wheel because it get so hot in the sun specially here in dubai as mentioned by some of the folks in this forum, Ill just keep it as is.. I think it will look good that way.


I calculated it to be 12k $ for the power kit.

I'm excited too

Thanks for your comments folks. They are very appreciated.

I really liked the pebble grey too and was too concerned about keeping it clean. that is why i ordered the black/grey.
