Purely cosmetics. I will always remember asking on these forums for advice on my original spec and being told I'll regret what I didn't tick, rather than the price of what I did. My wife put me on a budget, which resulted in 20" Sport Aero wheels, and I then picked the wrong colour by only...
Picked up my Turbo S a few weeks ago, but today was the first day where the sun put its hat on, hip-hip-hooray, so I could take some pictures.

I don't have anything hugely bespoke, but the following were hard for me to choose based on a lack of real...
After all our chats about the new spec I never realised we both went for Olea Black/Atacama and Accent Package Darksilver. I'm a big fan, but also liked Black/Crayon leather that I had on the Turbo.
We also moved to Burmester and I *think* it's better than Bose, but that's about as good a...
Picked up my Turbo S earlier and said goodbye to the Turbo. Extremely happy with the colour choice, including the Mission E's painted in exterior colour and all the carbon fibre I added. I'll take some better pictures once I've spent a bit more time with it.

I've been told that a "Christmas miracle" is about to happen and I should be picking it up next week. How are you looking?
Deposit paid 6th May
Went into build 8th October
Original delivery date of 20th November
Got stuck and finished build only last week
Frank, I have less knowledge of cars than anyone else on these forums. Most of it doesn’t even interest me and that which does I rarely understand, but whenever I see you’ve written something I am compelled to read it. I’m sure you don’t need the admiration of some guy on an online forum, but...
Not as bad as you're thinking: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/learning-to-drive-in-a-taycan-turbo.5678/page-2#post-78400
I did curb it a few months ago, but Porsche Cambridge (who I'm trading the Turbo in for the Turbo S) took a look and said it was fine and not to bother repairing...
Similar situation here. They must be putting exceptional care into the manufacturing of our cars for them to take 6 weeks. Probably just adding a few extra HP, just for us.
I always smile when I see these threads. Having only passed my driving license in June, I have the least amount of driving experience of anyone on these forums, but I have found no issues with having a Turbo (with a Turbo S on order). Just don't ask me to park it.
That’s awesome. I would have almost (I repeat: almost) felt bad if mine had arrived before yours. We should meet-up half-way (Bury St Edmunds?) and admire what £300k of combined metal and leather looks like.
Porsche Cambridge contacted me last week to say everything is on track for mid-Nov/beginning Dec. My Turbo entered V334 (Exit factory compound Kornwestheim) in February and I had the car 28 days later; were that to happen with the Turbo S then I'll be collecting it on my birthday. As usual I'm...
Thanks for the write-up, Chris. I'm sorry to see you leaving us, but could the writing on the wall as over the last year your enthusiasm levels went from 11 to completely-fed-up. Porsche has not lived up to anywhere close a premium brand for you, so in a way I'm pleased to see you replace your...
I live in a country where it rains every 8 seconds; that's not a good mixture with Volcano Grey. It's so beautiful when just cleaned, but even after a single journey it can lose the appeal from all the visible dirt. It also lacks the lines that really show off in the lighter colours.
We saw...
I have a Volcano Grey with 20" Sport Aero Wheels and decided within 2 weeks of owning it that I made a mistake with the wheels and colour, so I ordered a Turbo S in Dolomite Silver 21" Mission E Wheels.
When I ordered my Turbo, the dealer presented the below list of optional insurances. I never bothered; I've got it ingrained in me not to bother with most insurance. I proudly upgrade every year to yet another caseless, insuranceless iPhone, knowing I've now saved so much I can afford...
I received my driving license in June and drive a Turbo; me thinks you're gonna be a-ok in a Turbo S. And if you're not, that means I'm a better driver than you. No pressure.
Here’s my example of a 6 month old Taycan: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/resale-value.6462/
I will be (hopefully) selling it in the next 6-8 weeks when my Turbo S arrives and will update that thread to say how much I received. That will give you an idea of having a car less than 9...
