So I pulled the trigger and went the build route on a C4S. Turning the big "Five-OH" in March and decided to buy myself a birthday present.

I had a GT3 RS and sold it for a Panamera 4S. The GT3 RS was too much race car for the streets...the heavy traffic and HORRIBLE stop lights in Southern California made it no fun to drive unless you got away and headed to the mountain roads. I test drove the new Carrera S and fell in love with the performance and how it drove. I love the extra width of the C4S back end so I opted for it over the C2S.

The condensed version is:
White C4S
Full black leather interior with red stitching
Red seat belts
White gauge and sports chrono faces
Carbon fiber trim on dash, center console and door sills

Here is the complete build....

Wow! That is going to look very nice. It will be very GT3 RS 'esque'. I'm surprised you went with the 14 way seats instead of 18 coming from an RS, but the 14 ways are surprisingly good. You should get the Carrera S wheels to look even more like the RS (maybe even in red!) or platinum. Sorry I just love the RS.

 

I have the 18 way in the Cayenne Turbo and the 14 way in the Panamera. The 14 way are a little wider in the hip bolsters and that fits me better. The girlfriend drives the Cayenne and the 18 way is perfect for her.

I had the carbon fiber seats in the RS...LOVED them! Just not what I want in a daily driver. If I do wheels, I will probably end up with the HRE in black.

 

I know what you mean about the width.
Have you thought about getting model designation '911' on the back and 'Carrera 4s' on the doors? I feel like that would go well with the racing vibe of your car.
Also, what is option XGB Carbon Fiber Gearbox Trim?
Just want to say this is my favorite 'sporty' C4S build I've seen yet.

 

congrats! pics should be mandatory with this build

 

No idea what the "XGB Carbon Fiber Gearbox Trim" is...it is part of the $1,990 Carbon Fiber package. I put all the leather, carbon fiber and red stitching Porsche offered on this one. I hope it turns out as "sporty" looking as it sounds.

I think the coolest option is the adaptive cruise control. I have it on the Cayenne...makes freeway driving so easy and almost fun.

 

T-mac that is one awesome gift !! The build looks awesome, are you going with the smoking package ? I know a lot of people go that route just to get the extra plug. Can't wait to see some pictures of this beauty.

 

No smoking package. Thought about it, but didn't go for it.

 

CONGRATS!
That's going to be one amazing looking ride.

I had added red deviated stitching on my C4S cab but I chickened out last minute... can't wait to see it on yours though.
I did end up adding PDCC, have you thought about adding that?

 

Wow, amazing build!! Congrats!

 

Holy option list, Batman!

Should be a good birthday.

 

Thanks everyone. I decided to do the red deviated stitching after seeing the same color combo on a 2013 Cayenne GTS. The red stitching definitely stands out, but with the full leather package it still looks very tasteful...if I do say so myself

 

i would dump bose and get burmester. love the white dial

 

Have you consider burmester?....drop adaptive cruise control and add burmester?

 

Tmac that is an outstanding build! Very cool! Have thought about black sport technos?
