Strip out some off your cosmetics such as 21" wheels, GT steering wheel, painted metal parts and you could have a 4s which is much sportier for under 1000 pounds extra.

I have a base GTS, all black (except Rims), with mainly air, gloss sport design and bose. Probably way cheaper as most of the 4S configs seen here.:angel:

Thank you so much for all your input. I've come up with another spec, ÂŁ1k more than the last but much more of a specific spec I think.

https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PT5ZFEH9

To summarise;

Added in new spec
  1. Jet Black Metallic paint
  2. 20-inch Macan S Wheels
  3. SportDesign Package
Removed from new spec
  1. 21-inch Macan Design Wheels
  2. Exterior mirrors painted in exterior colour
  3. Heated GT Sports Steering Wheel
  4. Porsche Electric Sport Sound
  5. Bose Surround Sound System

20" don't look great but saves pennies.

Sport Design (SD) package is a big price option and I'm not sure you should divert the budget towards it.

Accent package in standard colour would work better given the dark interior.

I guess you don't like sunroofs, if only for light?

Drop SD, add 21" Macan Design, add Power Steering Plus (you must!), add 2D surround parking (a must), and add matrix LED headlights (they're worth it) and squander ÂŁ398 on bordeaux red seat belts to lift an otherwise too dark interior. Total - ÂŁ80,235.

Agreed. These are just cosmetic changes from outside. No practical benefit for this much price.
21" Macan Design will affect a bit of rage.
Also worth considering is augmented reality HUD.

Agree with above. You could get 4S for less (https://porsche-code.com/PTZI3TH2) but suggest to spend 2K more and get a proper equipped car, a naked Cayenne EV (metallic, part leather, surround view, air suspension, matrix LED and much more all included in base price).

What we don't know is the budget but I suspect it's ÂŁ80K hence the focus.

If the car is a company car then go for it. If it’s a purchase and you don’t intend to keep it for many years, I think the residual will be significantly lower for not having some of the options that really should be standard on a £ 81k car, like pan roof, matrix lights, comfort seats., surround camera and say adaptive cruise. If it will be traded in against a new car the dealer will hammer the residual.

Many years ago when I ordered my first Merc the lease cost went down after the salesman told me nobody buys 2 or 3 year old Merc coupes with cloth seats so switched to leather !
