Last updated: October 2026 · By using this site you agree to these terms.
RetroConfigurator is a free, ad-supported enthusiast reference and configurator for historical vehicle specifications, with a visualizer that turns a finished build into an image prompt and a gallery of example renders. It is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.
The website and configurator software are proprietary (© RetroConfigurator, all rights reserved); no rights are granted to copy or reuse them. The dataset is open under the Open Database License (ODbL). You may reuse it, including in bulk and commercially, under ODbL’s attribution and share-alike terms. See the data license.
Don’t disrupt, overload, or attack the Service or circumvent its security or rate limits (to reuse data in bulk, take it under ODbL rather than hammering the live site); don’t copy or reuse the software (as opposed to the open data); don’t misrepresent the data’s accuracy or imply RetroConfigurator is official or manufacturer-endorsed; and don’t pass off a render as a photograph of a real car or as manufacturer material.
Reference photos belong to their photographers, mostly via Wikimedia Commons, and each is used under the license credited with it (for example CC BY-SA). Reuse them under that license, not these terms. Gallery images are illustrations we generated with AI from a build’s specification. They are not photographs of real cars or manufacturer material, they don’t show any particular car for sale, and details such as badges, trim, or color can be wrong.
The visualizer writes a text prompt from your build. You can copy it, with the reference photos, into an AI image service of your choice, or render in the page with your own Google Gemini API key. Either way the request goes from you to that service under its terms, not ours; we claim no rights in what you make, and you are responsible for how you use it. Only attach photos you have the right to use. “Find My Dream Build” copies a prompt for your own AI agent to search public listings. We don’t check those listings and take no part in any sale.
We accept data contributions only (option codes, prices, availability, and original factual descriptions), not code. Your data contributions are licensed under ODbL, and you certify you have the right to contribute them and that they are factual and not copied from copyrighted brochures, photos, or other third-party material. We may moderate, edit, or remove any contribution. Submissions are filed as issues on a public GitHub repository (retroconfigurator/submissions), either by the site on your behalf, with no account needed, or under your own GitHub account if you file it there yourself. Everything you submit, including any name you sign it with, is public from the moment it is filed.
If you submit a build to the gallery, you send the build only (the car, its options, an angle and any scene you pick, and an optional name and credit), never an image. You agree that we may keep it in our private render queue, render it with AI, and publish the render with the build, name and credit in the gallery. Renders are made by us, and we decide which builds are drawn and published; we may decline a build, shorten a name, or remove a render at any time. Don't use a name or credit that is offensive, impersonates someone, or isn't yours to use. You can delete your build at any time with the private link you're given, or by emailing admin@retroconfigurator.com.
RetroConfigurator is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG or any other manufacturer. Manufacturer and model names, badges, emblems, and the cars’ distinctive designs belong to their owners and may be protected as trademarks or trade dress. We use them only to identify the cars and to depict them as the factory offered them: names in the specifications, and badges where they belong on a car in a rendered illustration. We don’t use any manufacturer’s logo to brand this site.
The Service and all data are provided “as is,” without warranty of accuracy or fitness. Figures are historical estimates from public sources and may be wrong. Do not rely on them for purchase, valuation, or other decisions. To the maximum extent permitted by law we are not liable for damages arising from your use of the Service; non-waivable consumer rights (including in the EU/UK) are unaffected.
To report content you believe infringes your copyright, such as a photo or a gallery image, email admin@retroconfigurator.com. We respond to US DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) notices and EU/UK notice-and-action requests and may remove material at our discretion.
We may update these terms; material changes are posted here with a new date. These terms are governed by the laws of the operator’s home US state, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Contact: admin@retroconfigurator.com.
