sleazius Posted 4June, 2020 Report Share Posted 4June, 2020 I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, because I haven't been following the car much, however, 5 mins well spent. http://www.porsche-code.com/PMN1MIL1 1 hour ago, edgy said: Ok, I'll kick the config off... PMLD23D6 Now that is something. I'll be interested to see how Frozenberry Metallic comes out in the flesh. The only things I spent any time deliberating on my build was colour, interior colour, and seat belt colour edgy and Dave997S 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted 4June, 2020 Report Share Posted 4June, 2020 Alright, here's my 4S: http://www.porsche-code.com/PMYV1CJ4. $239,981 drive away (with $32,040 worth of options as chosen) is not as much as I thought it might be when these got announced.

Raven Posted 4June, 2020 Report Share Posted 4June, 2020 Just had a play with that came to $384,000 drive away for turbo S ...........I didn,t pull the trigger because I thought of how much 991.2 GT3 or dare I say even 991.1 RS I could buy for that money DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 5June, 2020 Report Share Posted 5June, 2020 Yeah, the pricing is really on crazy pills. You've got to have that emotional connection to spend this kind of money .... or be someone for whom $400k is something you lose down the back of the lounge.

JWM Posted 30June, 2020 Report Share Posted 30June, 2020 Looks like a cheaper RWD model is confirmed now: http://www.motoring.com.au/basic-rear-drive-porsche-taycan-unwrapped-in-china-124956/ If you look at the pricing in China and convert straight to AUD (ignoring taxes etc) it's about A$50k cheaper than the 4S... If that translates here, it will indeed give the Model S a run for it's money... Surely that’s going to tank Tesla sales big time...

At early 100's base price, I think they would sell a lot of these... I would even consider one for a daily grind, the performance is quite compromised compared to the 4S and up, but perfectly adequate for commuting in comfort, I'm sure it'll be a good steer either way.

Yeah I agree, perfect daily. I was going to get a Model 3 Performance, but it just didn’t quite float my boat enough to spend $100k on a daily... It was sports car fast, but in no way a sports car.. Because of the way it felt, it’s the first car I’ve driven that I genuinely thought was “too fast”, because the rest of the package didn’t match its speed. I’d still recommend it to anyone over a 3 series or whatever boring sedan they wanted to buy for the same money though. If this base model Taycan swaps some speed of the Tesla for more steering feel and general enjoyment, for low to mid 100s, I can see myself behind the wheel of one at some point...

My better half likes the model 3, I don't mind it either... Really, I think she just likes that its got "dog mode" so you can leave the air con on for the dogs if you need to leave the car briefly When pressed, she'd still rather burn dinosaurs (RS3), me, I'd want to spec the model 3 for long range and performance, and as you say it tips the scales... too many options at the $100k + mark. I think for the Model 3, you really have to be ok with what the base car offers... Keeping on topic; lets see what Porsche Cars Australia announces in due course...I dont believe for a minute that they won't sell the 2wd base car here, look how the 4cyl Macan went "oh its only for Asia market... next minute" So knowing them, they will fill their order books with their well heeled clientele first... then release the poverty pack variant to the bottom feeders!

ArthurK Posted 1July, 2020 Report Share Posted 1July, 2020 I would jump into one of these things in a heart beat but I just find the price on the wrong side of mid 100s. They needed to make the 4s roughly 150 for it to make dint in the Tesla S sales. The base could have slipped into the same price as an S but with compromised range and performance. I am not a Tesla fan and would have jumped in a Model 3 as a daily but instead chose the RS3. The issue with all Porsche cars is the option buffet that we all get sucked into and a 150k gets to 200 pretty fast. My 4S config came out at 260 and it still wasnt the ideal config. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poverty pack coming to China for around A$125k.....plus no doubt an encyclopaedic options list. I assume that means $150k++ and even more with local taxes. at least they agree with your colour choice @edgy https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/porsche-launches-affordable-taycan-china-2932908/ edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 4July, 2020 Report Share Posted 4July, 2020 I went to to drags at Calder a couple of times as a youngster and marvelled at the monstrous supercharged V8 machines, stret reg, laying down 10s.
