I do rather think getting too worked up about Porsche model nomenclature is probably futile.
They chose to use the "Turbo" name on the Taycan. :facepalm:
...and these days nearly all ICE Porsches have a turbo.

At least Porsche didn't borrow "Turbonium" from VW :CWL:

I think that the model delete on the 4S options gives you your answer.
I feel your pain because if you are ‘spending’ that much money, you want to make sure that you get it right.
You will love whatever you end up with, but I think there is something inside you that will regret not getting the GTS.
YOLO and are a long time dead my friend!
You know it - Well spotted!

GTS is just a trim level. Porsche smartly throws an immaterially small performance difference and a bunch of logos in there to make the target customer feel special, but it’s nothing more than a marketing ploy to get people to order what is basically a full spec S model. It’s all about extracting every last dollar from the customer, which Porsche is epically good at. The idea that it’s really sportier or more ‘track focused’ is laughable. The fact that some people believe that it is just proves Porsche’s marketing genius.

Black door handles look cracking imo???? especially with the electric charger door black detail …. You not like the carbon mirrors for the full black contrast ?

As much black contrast as I could get ??

Dear friends,

I can understand how we can get really confused at this stage. I've changed my mind quite a few times and after researching I have come to these options.

The below three option fit in my budget. The car will be leased and will be a company car. So do not care of resale value. I will have the car for 3 years though. This will be my daily commute car and only car. I do around 80 miles a day, mainly motorway and then 10 miles in London UK. I will not be doing any track days etc. On the weekends its me and my partner cruising around. Rarely any back seat passengers.
My first choice was always option 1 which has the best leather with the massage seats and seat ventilation for the summer but the GTS looks affordable now but i'm not sure how comfortable will it be on daily basis with my drive.

Thoughts?

It seems like all three options are for the Porsche Taycan 4S model, with different interior and exterior options. If you are mainly concerned with comfort for your daily commute, I would recommend considering the option with the massage function and seat ventilation. This could make your daily drive more comfortable, especially during hot summer months. However, if you are interested in a sportier driving experience, the GTS option with the adaptive sports seats and sport chrono package may be more appealing. Ultimately, it's a personal decision and you should choose the option that best meets your needs and preferences.

Which do you prefer? (the renders are a reasonable representation in this instance)
If you don't have a personal preference, don't choose the cost option.

Do you need the " Automatically dimming exterior and interior mirrors " option if you are going for " Acoustically insulated laminated privacy glass " is it worth it then?
In my previous car which had tints, the dimming function never worked as there was not enough light to bother the rearview mirror sensor
