Something about having the GPS location there looks really cool

It's the fact that it's round. I'm sure it's a square panel with the corners masked off but it doesn't matter, display panels that look shaped to the application, instead of simply made room for, look cool as hell.

A thousand times, this. I don't get how people are so flustered/confused at the thought of millionaires (and billionaires) spending an extra $64k on paint when the car's base price is roughly $900k. The people that buy this car aren't exactly "penny pinching" when it comes to their million dollar super car.

That's a silly assertion. Some people may fall backwards into a million dollar car budget, others do it by consistently recognizing value. (You can argue what the odds of either group are to spend it on a Porsche.)

$64k paint on a $900k car is 7%; that's the equivalent of $2100 on a $30k car. Looking at $30k cars, the 'premium' colors are more in the $500 range occasionally reaching $7-800. So a more proportionate price bump for a 'premium' 918 paint job would be 15-20k, but of course overpriced options are a constant complaint about Porsches.
