Interior of the 971 Panamera Sport Turismo
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)
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.
