Will they hit their target 20% GM per vehicle but suffer lower volumes? Maybe they don't care bottom line stays strong off less production. The number of pink Taycans at the factory tour last year shocked me. The tour guide laughed and said, another one going to China, checked the production sticker, sure enough, China it was. Can't remember exactly but he said China was a massive part of global Porsche sales now. So what a few ICE enthusiasts in Australia may have to say is no doubt irrelevant to their strategy. Just hope they don't jack up my GT4RS price before it lands..... 9er 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 14March, 2023 Report Share Posted 14March, 2023 When I first looked at the 4S taycan 2 years ago they were sub 200k with no options. If they jack the prices again they'll be pushing $300k (they've already increased 3 times in 2 years). Pass. Electric cars are only usable for city driving. Especially in Australia. Makes justifying owning one currently that isn't a Tesla a fringe use case. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope they don't jack up my GT4RS price before it lands..... My initial swing back in 2021 on my current FIFO gig had me starting off with doing 3 weeks quarantine in Shanghai. After 2 weeks of hard lockdown had a week of soft lockdown (could leave the hotel but had to do a couple of tests before I could fly out of Shanghai) . Never seen some many Porsches whilst walking the streets during peak hour traffic. The pink Taycans were a dime a dozen as were white Taycan Turbo/'S with the standout 420mm?? massive yellow brake calipers? But what stood out more for me was every police car I sighted was a VW.

HWY Posted 30March, 2023 Report Share Posted 30March, 2023 Looks like the price increases have come through. Looks higher than the official inflation data. And sadly no more Adventurine Green for the 911. That's a stunning colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despised the Adventurine Green on my 993 so much I had it repainted in Forest Green metalic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_booost Posted 5April, 2023 Report Share Posted 5April, 2023 Adventurine Green - The only colour with URINE in its name. What a terrible shade in a 993. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
