Porsche Panamera GTS with "2+1" rear seat option!

Panamera GTS
Last month, on October 16, ...Porsche finally unveils the new Panamera GTSI did. I thought, "It's about time I tried a configurator."(Not buying, just fantasizing)I looked at Porsche Japan's website, but the Panamera GTS is "price undecided" and no configurator is available yet.(as of November 16, 2018)Too bad...

But I already had the mouth to do the configurator.This isn't over until we do the configurator!"I thought...when I went to the Porsche of America website to try it out, the price was already clearly indicated and a configurator for the Panamera GTS was available.
Holy shit!(Incidentally, the price is $128,300,00)
2+1 seat option
I was quickly adding options and choosing colors, without looking at the price, and enjoying the process. What a surprise!
I can make the back seat of a Panamera into a 2+1 seat."
This was an option that was!
I have never seen such an option in Japan. I couldn't help but thinkI said, "Huh? Did I do the Panamera Sport Turismo configurator by mistake?"I checked and found that it was indeed "Panamera GTS".(I mean, the Panamera Sport Turismo has 2+1 seats, even if you don't choose that as an option.)
When we used to buy a Panamera for our family.
It's a four-seater, so if we have any more kids, we won't be able to fit the whole family in it."
If I had to take one other person in the car besides my family, I wouldn't be able to go out in the Panamera."
'So, do you want a BMW 7 Series?'
No, but I like Porci."
Then we'll go with the Cayenne?"
But I still prefer the Panamera."
I had a lot of discussions about the Panamera, but if the Panamera GTS has the "2+1" seat option, then I don't have to worry about it anymore.
So I tried to find out if this option is available for the 971 Panamera that is already on the market, not the GTS...
I knew I could choose! Seriously!
I thought this was a big deal, so I emailed my husband as soon as I could.
Yes, it was originally available overseas, and I heard that from gts, 2+1 rear seats will be available as an option in Japan as well.
And. Seriously. I didn't know...!(I checked, and it seems that there are already people in Japan who have reserved the new Panamera GTS and have chosen the three rear seats.)I wonder how many people in the US are choosing this option. I am sure that once the price and release date of the Panamera GTS is announced in Japan, we will have more information on this area, so as soon as I have that information, I will post it on my blog.

Added that 2+1 option on the 4E-hybrid ~ $1000 or so... a must have option in our family of 5!
Mr. SN.
Oh, I knew it: ！！！！！ I'm so jealous!
How can it be a Panamera and not a Panamera Turismo and still seat 5...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>$1000 a little over; a must-have option in our family of five!
If this option was a little over $1000, it would be a great deal ^^^!
(Even though the embossed headrests on the Porsche Crest seats cost $75,000.)
Please let me know how you feel about the ride, etc. ^^^.
mina, SN.
Yes, it is a 2018 4E-hybrid, and if I had that option, I definitely would have.
I think exactly the same as mina.
This will be my third Panamera, and since my wife and two kids are my default, I'd love to take one more passenger! I have had quite a few opportunities to do so, and have been disappointed many times.
I wonder if they can accommodate retrofitting.

Yes...! If that option had been available at the time of purchase, my family would have definitely chosen it! On the contrary, I wonder why this option was not available in Japan while it is available in other countries....
It would be great to have a 5-seater and enjoy the driving experience of a Panamera without changing the rear design of the Panamera....well, I really wish they would retrofit it.
