Don\u2019t feel guilty, though \u2014 you\u2019re just following our lead.<\/p>\n<p>This new layout is a big change versus what Porsche used previously. Instead of the column on the right full of drop-down menus with seemingly unlimited options, the whole page scrolls you down through a bunch of different sections with far more (and better) photos to depict what exactly you\u2019re selecting. In case you missed it last year, Porsche added its Paint To Sample program to its configurator. While the option <a href=\"https:\/\/media.porsche.com\/paint-to-sample\/taycan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:1;\">links you out<\/a> to another site that holds all the paint options, you can still click through for any of Porsche\u2019s models to see what that <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/porsche\/718+spyder\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:2;\">718 Spyder<\/a> or <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/porsche\/taycan\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:3;\">Taycan<\/a> GTS Sport Turismo would look like in Ultraviolet \u2026 or any of the other 100+ pre-approved options. It\u2019s only $11,430 to select a PTS <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/colors\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:4;\">color<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The real beauty of the refresh is that Porsche includes so many more detailed photos of all those weird options that nobody should ever select, but you want to see regardless. That $470 option to cover the steering column in leather? Yup, check it out in detail. Same goes for the key fob painted in the exterior color with a leather carrying pouch \u2014 again, only $470. You can even see the custom color of deviated stitching for the interior or the color of the headlight cleaning system covers to know what that may look like. Should you put Python Green covers on a Carmine Red <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/porsche\/718+boxster\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:5;\">718 Boxster<\/a>? Well, that\u2019s for you to decide.<\/p>\n<p>For those who might\u2019ve preferred the easy-to-scroll nature of the right side rail full of drop-down boxes previously, Porsche retained a shortcut route to specific sections. It\u2019s just on the top left now and can be expanded when you want it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.porsche.com\/usa\/modelstart\/all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:6;\">here\u2019s the link you want \u2014 get building<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><style><![CDATA[.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }]]><\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n <lite-youtube videoid=\"orSVWl-YJsY\" data-thumbnail=\"\"\/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Porsche configurator appears to have just received a facelift, and since it\u2019s a Friday, that means you\u2019re legally obligated to go waste an hour clicking through to build that dream Porsche.
