How to Custom Order a Porsche at Porsche White Plains

Buying a new Porsche can be an exciting experience. But for many Porsche enthusiasts, the experience goes beyond selecting a vehicle from available inventory.

A custom-ordered Porsche gives you the opportunity to create a vehicle around your own preferences—from the exterior color and wheels to the interior materials, upholstery, trim and technology.

At Porsche White Plains, the process is designed to make that experience personal and hands-on. One of the highlights is our dedicated Porsche Fitting Lounge, where you can see and compare many of the materials and colors available for your Porsche before placing your order.

What Is a Custom-Ordered Porsche?

A custom order allows you to select the model and configuration you want rather than limiting your choices to vehicles that are already built and available.

Depending on the Porsche model, you can personalize a wide range of details, including:

• Exterior paint colors

• Special and custom paint options

• Wheel designs and finishes

• Brake caliper colors

• Interior colors

• Leather and upholstery

• Seat design

• Stitching

• Interior trim

• Steering wheel options

• Technology

• Performance equipment

• Exterior styling options

• Comfort and convenience features

The exact options available depend on the Porsche model and current production availability.

For Porsche enthusiasts, this is part of what makes the factory-order process so special: you aren't simply choosing a Porsche—you are creating your Porsche.

Start With the Porsche Model That's Right for You

The first step is selecting the Porsche that best fits your lifestyle and driving preferences.

Depending on what you're looking for, your Porsche options may include models such as:

• 911 – Porsche's iconic sports car

• Taycan – All-electric Porsche

• Panamera – Performance-oriented luxury sedan

• Macan – Sporty luxury SUV

• Cayenne – Performance-focused luxury SUV

Your Porsche White Plains product specialist can help you compare models, powertrains, equipment and available options before you begin configuring your vehicle.

Visit the Porsche Fitting Lounge

One of the most enjoyable parts of the custom-order process at Porsche White Plains is visiting the Porsche Fitting Lounge.

Rather than trying to make every decision by looking at colors and materials on a computer screen, the Fitting Lounge allows you to experience many of the available choices in person.

You can see and compare:

Exterior Paint Samples

Porsche offers a wide range of exterior colors, from classic Porsche finishes to distinctive special colors.

Seeing actual paint samples can give you a much better sense of how a color looks in different lighting and how it works with different wheel and exterior trim choices.

Leather and Interior Materials

The interior can completely change the personality of a Porsche.

In the Fitting Lounge, you can explore actual samples of available leather and other interior materials and compare different colors and combinations.

You can consider questions such as:

• Would you prefer a traditional black interior?

• Would a lighter interior complement your exterior color?

• Do you want contrasting stitching?

• Would you prefer a more understated or more distinctive combination?

• How do different leather finishes look and feel in person?

These are difficult decisions to make from a computer configurator alone.

Interior Trim and Details

The personalization continues beyond the seats.

Depending on the Porsche model and configuration, you can explore different materials and finishes for elements such as:

• Dashboard trim

• Door panels

• Center console

• Steering wheel

• Decorative accents

• Seat details

• Stitching

Seeing these materials in person can help you understand how the individual selections work together as one interior design.

Build Your Porsche Around Your Personal Style

One of the advantages of ordering a Porsche is the ability to create a combination that reflects your own preferences.

For example, you might choose:

A timeless configuration

A classic exterior color, understated wheels and a traditional interior.

A performance-inspired configuration

A more aggressive exterior color, sport-oriented wheels, performance-focused seats and contrasting interior details.

A sophisticated configuration

A distinctive exterior paired with a carefully coordinated leather interior and subtle trim.

A highly personalized configuration

Special paint, unique interior materials, contrasting stitching and individual options that make the vehicle unmistakably yours.

There isn't one "right" Porsche configuration. The goal is to create a vehicle that reflects what you want from your Porsche.

Work With a Porsche Product Specialist

Once you've narrowed down your choices, your Porsche White Plains product specialist can help you build the configuration.

This is where experience can be particularly valuable.

There can be a tremendous number of possible combinations, and some options may interact with others. A knowledgeable Porsche specialist can help you understand the available equipment, answer questions about individual options and make sure the configuration reflects how you intend to use the vehicle.

For example, if you're considering a particular wheel, seat or interior combination, your specialist can help you understand what other options may be required or recommended.

Review Your Configuration Carefully

Before submitting a custom order, take the time to review every detail.

Pay particular attention to:

• Exterior color

• Wheel selection

• Interior color

• Seat configuration

• Interior trim

• Performance options

• Technology

• Driver-assistance features

• Comfort and convenience equipment

• Packages

• Special-order options

A factory order is an opportunity to get exactly the Porsche configuration you want, so this is the time to make sure you're comfortable with every selection.

Your Porsche specialist can review the build with you and answer any remaining questions before the order is submitted.

What Happens After You Place Your Porsche Order?

Once your configuration is finalized and your order is submitted, the vehicle enters the Porsche production and allocation process.

Your Porsche White Plains team can keep you informed as your order progresses through the various stages.

Depending on the model, production schedule, allocation and other factors, timing can vary.

It's important to remember that a custom order isn't the same as purchasing a vehicle already sitting on a dealership lot. Your Porsche is being built to your specifications, and the production and delivery process can take time.

Your Porsche White Plains representative can provide the most current information available for your specific order.

Can You Change Your Porsche Order?

Potential changes may be possible during certain stages of the ordering process, but there are deadlines and restrictions.

Once an order reaches a certain point in production, changes may no longer be possible.

That's another reason the configuration review is so important. Take your time before finalizing your choices and discuss any changes with your Porsche White Plains representative as early as possible.

Your Porsche, Your Way

For many Porsche buyers, the ability to personalize a vehicle is an important part of the ownership experience.

From the paint color you see every morning to the leather beneath your hands, the wheels, seats, trim and technology, your choices can make your Porsche distinctly yours.

And at Porsche White Plains, the Fitting Lounge gives you an opportunity to experience many of those choices in person before you place your order.

Rather than imagining how a particular leather, paint color or trim combination might look, you can see the actual materials and compare your choices as you create your configuration.
