Ordinarily no they don't. But when it comes to Porsche, the word "option" takes on a new meaning. Porsche charge you for everything.
Things that would be standard are no longer. Before you know it you just added enough in options to buy a Mini Cooper.


At the end of the day Porsche make out like bandits over-charging for everything at the buyer's expense. The worst of these are the ad nauseum number of 'special edition' Porsches that lack the most important element of a truly special Porsche: a limited production engine.
They just give you the same 'street engine' as the other models, lard up the build sheet with every possible option and after a year that car is selling for less than a 2 or 3 year old GT3 RS and way less than the really limited RS like the 4.0.

All Porches with mass produced engines will drop in value like a lead balloon now matter how many options they have as soon as the market finds itself short of credit/lending or the economy and stock market hit the brakes. It's a the reality brake check of the Porsche premium.
Case in point in 2009 we saw some 996 Carreras drop nearly $30K in a single year. Meanwhile the Boxsters/Caymans didn't drop as severely because they weren't priced so high to begin with.
