New Porsche Configurator in UK

[DoctorLife]

Just noticed a new Porsche configurator in the UK

Still no Mamba green (sorry guys!) and options look the same price. Website is different, not necessarily better

What do you think?

I got the new configurator a couple of weeks ago, but only if I loaded a saved config. Was intermittent if I got the old or new one. From this afternoon it’s always the new one. I much prefer it. Options and pricing all identical to before though (currently).
I’m checking daily for the hopefully return of the PCCB option on the GTS.

Although since this afternoon, I’m pretty certain the cost of the GTS interior package has gone up by about £200!

Base price has risen rather than option prices and some options are now standard e.g. ambient lighting..

On GTS ambient lighting still a £330 option. Rs Spyder wheels and GTS interior package have all gone up in price.

There is far more screen candy so it looks much prettier and easier to use on my main computer but doesn't look good on my iPad which is what I have started using as a laptop since my last two MacBook Pros have been unacceptably unreliable by design - a shame.

They have also moved options into different lists so if you are a saddo like me who looked at the configurator often whilst waiting 10 months for an allocation it isn't easy to quickly find stuff on iPad, though easier on main computer.

My spec has gone up £9k or so, though I had to choose a colour other than Mamba

I also notice the Boxter still has no colours I would be prepared to pay for but have dropped PTS so my Boxter GTS spec no longer works.

Everything has gone up.
Just reloaded an old configuration back into configurator on My Porsche.
Total price £94,710 up to £99,434

Noticed paint £774 to £852 straight away.

At a glance it’s all gone up, It’s nearly a healthy 10% everywhere it seems, more than base price.
Wheels, exterior, interior and everything else.
Just took a while for all the bits to get updated along with the base price.

Not when I looked - you need to start with a new build as the configurator is still using MY23 model codes to differentiate.

I got my GTS ST early March and the delivery details listed ambient lighting but the car does not have it (tempted to challenge Porsche as I hate to miss out something for 'free'). The standard spec of the car (and the entry RWD all have ambient lighting listed). Don't rely on the configurator per se - look at the standard specs for each variant.

This is from the standard spec of the RWD (for example)

Some option prices will have risen (I was generalising).

Challenge it. If nothing else you might get a discount voucher for next service. They do that if they've made a boo-boo.

It is under "Comfort and usability" in the new configurator.
It is £329 extra on the CT4S, which is the one I looked at.

Just had a quick look at the GTS and ambient lighting is also listed as a £329 option under "comfort and usability"

I was doing a new build. There's two versions of ambient lighting. Standard (and very basic) and the £330 colour selectable option.

Although I don't know what they're playing at as my car has full comfort access apart from the gesture control for the frunk. The car wasn't specc'd with it and I'm not paying £1300 for the FOD version just for that!

My car also doesn't have full ambient lighting but I've got something in mind to sort that (on the door cards at least).

Prices have gone up in the new configurator. A few days ago I noticed an increase just to the base price but with the new configurator today I can see price increases to the options too.

My spec has gone from £123,063 to £128,967 and an increase of £5,904.

Ordered Jan 2023 showing ready for September 2023

I got Comfort Access even though I didn't spec it. I think this is happening to everybody.

It seems to be. I've read that lots of folk got it. What I dont get is that Porsche doesnt' seem to know that the car has it, as it's still offering it to me for £1300 on the FOD store.

Can you get the frunk/froot/bonnet to open using a gesture? I just can't seem to get it to work.
