Hey! That’s a nice gesture! My points below. All my preferences and don’t mean to offend anyone or create a debate. I also own a 718 GT4 with PDK, 18-ways, PCCBs and Bi-Xenon PDLS. Previous to that I had one with Manual, Buckets, steel discs, LEDs. So have a bit of experience with options. Key points: I would paint the wheels in Satin Platinum - suits the the colour better and look cleaner for longer. I’ve found brake dust is an issue without the PCCBs. Note: If you keep the silver wheels then modify the Porsche logo back to standard. Leather interior pack should be added. 18 way adjustable - these gives you thigh extension support and extra bolstering. I would not option anything else and actually think the are more comfortable and support than the buckets (controversial!) Exclusive design filler cap - just because! It is also nice seeing it when you fill up. You’ll smile to yourself every time and it will distract you from the pence per litre price. I’ve left the model designation deletion on the doors but added it on the back. I think it looks a bit bland without it. I’ve swapped to the bi-xenon PDLS lights. The xenon’s look better. The four round circles are more classic Porsche and the slightly darker interior will match the colour of the car. Performance wise there isn’t much in it. Yes LEDs are brighter but the DRL set up look much better with Xenons. I’ve added the brushed aluminium interior pack which I think help lift the interior and finish it off. Depending on preference you can also add the black anodised version. If you’re going to be doing daily drives in this you’ll appreciate the slightly nicer cabin. Personally not a fan of coloured seat belts as I think they detract from interior details and look better in black (where you don’t notice them). I really hope they are not trying to ‘match the exterior and interior’ of the car. That just screams ‘trying too hard’. Nobody except you will actually notice / appreciate that and your seat besets will also look cleaner than your calipers - so they won’t ‘match’ anyway!! I’ve added the Porsche logo on armrest as I personally really like it and it doesn’t say Porsche inside anywhere else. It also adds a bit of interest. I’ve added two zone Clomate control - a must in my opinion. Had also seen a few reviews and regrets for not getting this. I’ve added the smoking packing as it looks nicer with the lid and you already have cup holders. Deleted the net. Looks a bit tacky and shouts ‘I ticked it because it’s free’. Will also be a hassle when hoovering the car and if you do keep stuff in there it will look messy. Total: £84,602 Code: PRU9EHU8 Link: configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRU9EHU8

I agree no storage net. It might be free but you’d never use it and if you do it warps and looks a mess in no time. Each to their own but I can’t fathom why someone would go for a GTS and not option the GTS interior pack. The £1300 it costs is much less than the extra hit you’ll take when trying to sell it at a later date without a GTS pack. If no GTS pack then at least spice up the trim inside with the brushed aluminium trim and then opt for the free cost option of the PDK lever/surround to be in brushed aluminium. If GTS interior then get the steering column in leather for a relatively small cost option. I don’t understand this trend of matching seat belts to the callipers. You can’t see the callipers from inside and can barely see the seats belts from the outside. Colour is subjective but with Agate I would opt for the front spoiler option to be in gloss black and option the rear wing, door handles and side mirrors to be in black (the latter an in person discussion option, not on configurator) making it two-tone style, like the look one can create with the artic grey Cayman Style Edition, see that for reference. Consider black wheels. Silver on grey is getting very John Major like, and black makes it look more hunkered down aggressive looking to me. I get vibrant colours aren’t for all, me included, but it needs a bit of pizzazz this spec, it’s not necessarily a cost thing, just the chosen options are on the bland side of things, no offence** I disagree with comments on the lid that comes with the smokers pack….I prefer that tiny storage pot open. In summary at least get the GTS interior pack. Could the current spec be any more boring? No GTS interior, no GTS badging? Are you sure they want a GTS. Furthermore, for that amount of money, I would go for a used and highly specced 981 GTS and be driving it tomorrow. It will sound far better than the 718. **Every Cayman is great though!

Don't over spec it would be my advice Max. GTS is by very definition the most understated Cayman. Great model choice! ;-)

Agree that the GTS interior package would be a must for me to break up the interior. PSE. 👍

I noticed he didn’t select the smoking package… this leaves a big hole in the center column. By chosing the smoking package, it will add a nice lid to close off the opening (it looks better and finished). Also, cheap option would be to add the fire extinguisher which adds a touch of red color under the passenger seat (looks cool and would match his seat belts). Finally, make sure GT steering wheel is in leather (comes standard in racetex in Canada) and I added on mine the Aluminum trim to get rid of that reflective shiny plastic trim on the dash and around the gear lever. Congrats on the new order, it’s a great car!

Decisions decisions 😂 I’ve just purchased a 2nd hand GTS so spent ages on the must have spec. I instantly passed on any car that did not have the GTS interior, to me that was 100% essential. If passing on the GTS interior is because he doesn’t like the appearance, then definitely red contrast stitching to the match the red seatbelts, and the red central dial would be a great touch, otherwise the belts are the only red in the car. It’s a shame they’ve dropped the original heated leather or racetex steering wheel as the new heated carbon steering wheel is actually a larger circumference than the standard wheel and is quite noticeable, I would advise checking this at the dealership before selecting as for me the smaller wheel suits the car better. Definitely needs the smokers pack to fill in the hole, cheap option and much neater. Bose… I tested both systems, many criticise the standard system, but I had a GTS with the Bose system for week and I didn’t think it sounded that great either, also kinda pointless imho when you have the na4.0. If it was my money I’d save on the Bose and use the money to 100% get the GTS interior. Lastly, if he can, folding mirrors, especially if you park in a garage.

I would add the smoking package and red deviated stitching for contrast. I would also choose the carbon interior package. Else it’s a fab spec! 😊👍

He should atleast get the Carmine Red GTS interior package, if anything to liven up the interior. Because whilst i'm perfectly fine with a black interior, if you're going for a GTS Porsche, you might aswell have a sportier interior to go with it. I don't know, that's how i'd have it anyway. But if he goes for black, that's cool, would just be kinda boring in my eyes considering the model lol

Controversial I know, but as he's an Audi fan, how about a TT RS, they have new ones available from £65k.

Well to be honest, the Audi TT RS is faster, easier to modify (600bhp stage 1), nearly as light, AWD...a lightly modified TTRS would honestly destroy a 718
