This was tough. It looks good in lots of combos. I'm sure if I went through it again tomorrow I'd have a different combo

GT Silver metallic, satin black wheels, painted roll bars, and bucket seats. That’s pretty much it.  Sport Exhaust is already standard.

I’d prefer the Carrera Sport wheels, but they leave the trim unpainted and it looks weird to me.

I’d rather have the 4 cylinder...

Let me know when they put the turbo 3.0 in it

With a fixed roof. And Miami Blue.

Aventurine Green Mettalic, the 911 Turbo Wheels, Black and tan leather interior, aluminum trim package , heated steering wheel and seats, the fancy sounds system. Body color roll bars.

I’d love a tan top to match the interior but I don’t see the option.

Also how is cruise control an option.

Night blue, silver wheels & roll bars on the outside, GTS Crayon with sport buckets on the inside.

Trick question.

You actually want a Boxster/Cayman S, not the GTS, because then you can spec it with super classy wood trim. Why wouldn’t you buy this two-tone blue/white + mahogany interior?

Pair it with a matching blue top, and either a white or blue exterior color.

Aside from the wood... I actually like that interior a lot. Would look fantastic on Gentean Blue exterior.

But the S doesn’t have the 4 liter flat 6, which is the whole point!

I’m hoping that is the adaptive cruise option... this is an international configurator, not tailored for any specific market... the market-specific configurator may get more specific as to what is standard, and what is optional.

Alternate... british earth-tones, rather than germanic metallic and technical.

Aventurine Green, Black & Luxor Beige interior, black top, with beige seat belts, body-color roll hoops, black details like door handles and rear spoiler, and Techquipment optional Matte Aurum painted 718 Sport wheels.

And in actuality, I went through the interior options again and try to black out the interior silver trim. Since GTS package blacks out, but loses the luxor beige interior option, I went carbon fiber instead, which removes most of the silver, although not all of it on the steering wheel, door handles, or seat backs, but there is probably a leather option for the seat backs somewhere.

Alternate-alternate... after configuring Aventurine Green, clicking over to Carmine Red was even better. This is almost a sophisticated pseud0-italian look.

With the Aurum wheels, and high-gloss black roll bars and rear spoiler, the car would look equally good with the Cognac and Espresso interior with a brown top , or the Luxor Beige and black interior with a black top. I like the richer cognac seat color over the beige, but could give or take the Espresso dash, compared to black.

This is very nice.
