I speced one with buckets, PCCB, PDK and the GTS trim it was £86k !!!

Looks like the new Spyder might be a lot more than the old one !

It's £13k just for those 4 options - over 20% of the base price!

I order mine with black/red leather interior, i deleted the alcatara standard interior and didn't want a black interior(never had a car with other colour than black interior).

Alot of money for the GTS full interior but it's a shame they dont do other colours.
I have also not gone for the GTS interior May be diluting the GTS experience but also didn't want a black interior and also think the option expensive Ihave gone for graphite blue and crayon sportex pack Exterior colour is also Graphite Blue.

The whole pricing thingy on 718 is totally bizarre. Really wonder what they are thinking? many GT or Turbo fans already moved to Mclaren ownership anyway. confused

I have that exterior and interior combination on mine. You may have seen it on the 718 pictures thread. I love it. Can see your point about diluting the GTS look, but I’m no fan of black interiors and alcantara, either.

I also noticed on the GTS configurator you have the option of painting the Porsche logo on the rear strip black. Doesn’t appear to be an option on the other models yet. Makes more aesthetic sense to have they it black if you have black logos underneath.

I agree and have included it in my spec. But of a cheek charging £105 for it but hey it is a Porsche!!!

I’m undecided on the black gloss bits and whether the red accents clash with graphite blue. Other than that the specs pretty close to what I’ll go for
