then it's a tad on the drab side unless it's spruced up with optional aluminum, body-color or carbon fiber trim. Ah, now that's more like it. My tester featured leather on the dash, etc, plus aluminum trim pieces to brighten up the cockpit. It makes all the difference.

18-inch 5-spoke rims. Very nice! They bring the Turbo Cab from hyper-speed to standstill in hardly any time at all, at a frightening rate actually, and combined with Porsche's otherworldly PSM (Porsche Stability Management) system, few more controllable vehicles are available anywhere.
