Hidden Porsche Turbo configurator discovered - play with it while you can...
If you simply log onto Porsche's website, you aren't given the opportunity to customize the new-for-2010 911 Turbo. However, thanks to the arcane keystrokes of AB reader Matt, the Turbo configurator has been discovered, and you can play with it... at least until Porsche disables it.
To play: go to the 911 C4S configurator and click "Models," then "From Scratch," then choose the 911, and then choose any one of the 13 variants offered. A pre-configured car will come up, choose "View Configuration," then "Customize," then "Accept Changes," and voilà! a Porsche Turbo canvas awaits your tasteful palette. You can't change the red interior color, however.
It's a little work, sure, but it's a Porsche Turbo of your very own – and besides, what else were you really going to do with your Friday night?

Call me when the configuration tool lets you drop the Turbo's flat-six into a Cayman.

I hate the design... it's too stale.
Porsche needs to stop reheating their leftovers.

So mine ended up as about $1,644.73/month after using the finance calculator.
A man can dream...

With how much down and how many months?
paul34 4:20PM (9/11/2009)
$20k down, 60 months, and 6.25% . I know, I know... it was a pretty optimistic setup. But I have a feeling that there are actually people who choose to drive this rather than paying a mortgage on a nice house.

Yeah, I imagine most people put a huge down payment on these.
Even is someone made med-high 6-figures, they wouldn't qualify for
finance or lease on the remainder ($110K?), even with perfect credit. Banks
are demanding almost double annual income/loan amount on expensive
cars.
Driving one's salary is no longer an option with financing. Best thing to do is save up
and write a check.

I just ran through it.
God Porsche and its options list gives me a headache.

You are cast into the Gorge of Eternil Peril for not answering the five questions.... err.. three questions.

Normally I don't care for green but that Special Color Malachite Green is amazing. The Custom Colors samples are nice as well, in large part because the normally gaudy colors are backed up by their racing heritage.

On the finance page, it listed the the PDK as the "Triptronic S"...

I've got the full configurator, including changing the interior, and I didn't have to go through all the steps to get there.
