Re-Spec Yourself: Porsche Panamera configurator appears
The 2009 Porsche Panamera - Click above for a high-res gallery
With the launch of the Porsche Panamera configurator, you can finally build the sedan from Stuttgart to your own specs. Starting with an untouched 500 hp, $132,600 Turbo model that scoots to sixty in just four seconds, we came up with the $181,170 Mahogany Metallic example above. Even though we left a great many options unchecked and some imaginary money in our imaginary wallet, we're sure it will still perform impressively. Sadly, though, there was no button marked "Make the backside pretty." Hat tip to Evan.

It ain't pretty... but at least it's original. Long live the hunchback!

I tried the configurator and I can't find the "Ugly Delete" function.

I couldn't find that "Ugly Delete" function either. This function should have come standard.
Where's the TruckNutz option by the way?

How did people live before "Build Your Own" features on websites? I don't think my friends would still like me if I couldn't recite the options included in the convenience package on a Chevy Malibu from memory.

I know I'm almost alone on this one, but I love this car. I think it's only because it's so original. I would drop $140k easily. If I had it.

I'm betting the Mahogany Yachting Interior Package will be the MUST HAVE option.....

I got bored and i tried to make one with the most expensive options available. started with the turbo at at $132,600. I added $70,480 in options for a grand total of $203,080.
Can you believe they charge $325 for a rear windshield wiper, something that even the cheapest cars available come with standard?

I managed to get to $200,760.
Some of the option combinations puzzle me, but such is life.
It's amazing to see 70k in options even available. How amazing that options can be worth more than the 3 cars in my garage.

Ooptions on modern luxury cars sound rediculous to normal people but i guess if you can afford it, it's nothing. One such option that comes to mind is the 27k brakes on the bentley brooklands. 27k could pay for a pretty nice car these days.

Why is the 4S so much faster to 60 than the 2wd S? Could this Long, front engined boat have trouble putting power down at the rear? Hmmmm...

It's an AMC Marlin clone, but with lots more markup.

No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to look beautiful... At least I got it decent looking!

I hate this car simply because it causes the pain and emotional stress that you just can't easily explain away.
