ATLANTA – Porsche Cars North America offers customers in the United States and Canada the opportunity to personalize their cars through two option-selection channels. Together with the choice of limited-availability special paint colors, the special options allow a customer to make a Porsche® into a truly one-of-a-kind car.

“Our customers attach a great deal of personal satisfaction to acquiring a Porsche, and for many, the ability to individualize their cars enhances the personal experience of ownership,” says Frederick J. Schwab, president and chief operating officer, Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “Moreover, the limited availability of options from some carmakers sends customers to the aftermarket. Porsche offers customers accessories and options designed by Porsche, manufactured to our exacting standards, and backed by outstanding warranties.”

The Porsche Exclusive p rogram offers a wide array of optional features installed at the factory. Options range from special wheels and body styling kits to custom interior trim packages and individual trim items. The Porsche four-year/50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty covers all Exclusive options, and Porsche dealers can include the cost of the options in the lease or finance contract.

The Tequipment® (“Tech-quipment”) program offers a line of accessories available only from authorized Porsche dealers. Tequipment options include such items as special wheels, aerobody kits, instrument panel trim kits, CD changers and custom floormats. Customers can order Tequipment options at the time of purchase, or return to the dealership for installation later.

While installation of Tequipment may require some modifications to the car, such modifications do not affect the standard limited warranty. Tequipment items come with a two-year warranty when installed by a certified technician at an authorized Porsche dealership.

In addition to the limited-availability special paint colors, Porsche will even paint a 911™ Carrera® or 911 Carrera 4 to match a sample from the customer. While such a request does add waiting time for the car, the Porsche 26-step corrosion protection and paint process ensures that the custom paint work meets the same quality standards as a regular production paint color.

The Porsche three-year/unlimited mileage paint finish and 10-year/unlimited mileage corrosion perforation warranties apply to any custom color.
