Mine has got lots of options but not the alarm clock on the dash, to be honest I didnt like the look of it, looks like its stuck on as an after thought. Its only really useful if you are going to track your car and need the slightly faster pedal reaction on the throttle. Each to his own I guess

It's stupid, frivolous, looks like an afterthought, costs money and brings little tangible benefit. Reminds me of me. I like it.

Only if your buying a turbo because it comes with a button that gives you more boost.

Hhmmm. No. That's far too grown up. Someone needs to buy their inner child a balloon. Lest we forget, Porsches are toys after all.

To be honest, they've never done it for me. There's something a bit 70's Maserati about the clock, if you know what I mean.

A handsome, stylish ornament that would grace any mantlepiece and which the discerning owner will cherish as it gives years of pleasure eventually becomes a family heirloom.

The acne spot on the dash is useless, the electronics speeding up pedal reaction are actually good fun. Couldn't convince Porsche to deliver the latter without the former though...
