Let's play car configurator! What's your spec?

99% of us are never going to buy a supercar. But thats not going to stop us from dreaming about owning them is it? Fortunately car makers, tuners offer configurators for us to sit around and spec our imaginary exotics. I for one make good use of them.

Ill kick this thread off with my Aston Martin DBS Superleggera that I would spec and buy if I had the money with me.

Options ticked
- "Pentland" dark green q palette paint
- smoked tail lights
- red calipers
- full red leather Balmoral interiors
- Piano black trim

It would be good if mass market cars also come with a reasonable amount of configuration options in terms of selecting features that matter.

re: Let's play car configurator! What's your spec?

Man these online configurators affect my productivity big time. They're so addicting! AM's is pretty nice but the best one has to be of Rolls Roys... You could spend a whole day speccing out the Phantom of your dreams.

Here's a GT3 high up on my want list.
It was supposed to be 'Sapphire blue' but it seems Porsche removed that option overnight. It was there when I configured yesterday

I rarely like white coloured cars, because it is so generic and predictable. Everybody buys white coloured cars. But Mclaren 720s is an exception for me. As are the new Volvos.

Here is how I would spec my Bentley continental GT.

Highlights.

- Peacock Blue Paint
- "Magnolia" cream and "Imperial" Blue Interiors
- Tamo ash wood veneer for that perfect land yacht look
- Specced the Mulliner package- 21 inch wheels, and a host of trinkets and
metal jewellery

As far as I am observing, customization options on mass market cars are aplenty.

Most new-gen Marutis have a lot of configuration options to decide from, Eg : Ignis & New Swift.

Not to be cheeky, but the sheer amount of new editions of Polo/Vento launched by VW, provides customers with a wide variety of options too.

I, for one, disagree. You have so many options in other countries like the UK or US where you can spec the car to your taste. I remember seeing a Regular Car Videos drive of a 520d in the UK where the owner had a fully-loaded 5 series with a 20d engine. Stuff like that just isn't possible over here.

And if I'm completely honest, I'm not sure why that isn't offered in India. Most of these cars are CKDs - is it not possible to get the kits of all features and then assemble the car as per spec? One disadvantage could be that it is expensive and would lead to longer waiting periods. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks!
