I am sure the CF handles look great. What color is your roof and is it alcantara?

 

the GTS came with the alcantera - colour is black.

 

update:

just added thes 3 items:

- key pouch in smooth leather inrior (always wanted one from my 2 earlier Porsches)
- ski bag option (allows me to raise/lower the 2 seats and the armesrest independantly as stock only allows you to lower the full rear right passenger seat or the rear left passenger seat & armrest area)
- tow hook system , would be nice to tows bikes and perhaps even my kayak some time.

 

I just added the ski bag option as well. I looked at a car at my dealership yesterday with this option and even though you can lower the armrest by itself, and the right rear seat by itself, I think that when you lower the left rear seat, the armrest lowers as well. It is still more versatile with this option, but I don't think that all 3 sections operate fully independently of each other.

 

I had my dealer contact the regional HQ and they confirmed a 40/20/40 seat adjustment.
I double checked this by asking to see a stock vehicle. The non-ski bag optioned car would only go down in 60/40. Either the left left by itself or the right seat + armrest area.

How do you the vehicle you checked was a ski bag one?

 

I have the ski bag option and it is three separate sections. But the left seat lowers the center. So your options are / center / right / left and center /....there is no left only.

 

Why isn't there a center only?
Any physical reason you can't lower the right only as you can with the left?

I guess the only different between stock and ski bag opstion is the center.

On the stock you can only lower right and left + center

With the ski bag you can

Lower center

Lower left

And according to Falb right + center.

So the lowering of center (20) is the only benefit over stock.

its nice though as you can stick a rod or kayak paddle in the middle without loosing passenger space.

I will try to clarify. The three section are independent with one caveat. The center section locks onto the left section. There is a pin that extends from the rigth side of the left section that enables the center section to lock in the upright position. The pin (or locking mechanism for the center section) prohibits the left section folding down without the center folding down as well.

The right section is completely independent.

The options are really

-right only
-right and center
-right and center and left
-center only
-center and left

There is no left without the center.

Hope that makes sense?

 

Different regions have different options classified as either standard or option. The ones I listed below " Standard Specification for 2010 Model Year Panamera 4S Models " are considered standard in the gulf region and prices start at $125,000 for the above.

 

Clear! Thanks for elaborating.

 

same here, waiting for the V6 as I told her she doesn't need 400hp.

 

UPDATE:

I added the automatic tow hook (completely hidden when retracted). I wont use it a lot but would like to go to Dubai city ( I am from Abu Dhabi) in my Panamera and perhaps take my kayak or future ATV along with me on weekends. Would be better than going in a SUV , especially if I plan on going out at night with the wife (for formal occasions/dinner). The deployable tow hook is a little expensive (about $1,000) but definitely worth it as I have it on my current rental Cayyene and works extremely well.

Picture taken yesterday.

 

no worries chuck. How much did your 4S start at with standard specs (the ones you dint highlight in red in earlier post)
