It’s funny, no one bats an eyelid when Mercedes, Bentley or Rolls Royce price their luxury vehicles at around €350k/$350k up to and over €500k/$500k but when Porsche price their flagship vehicle at €250k\$250k some have called it ‘overpriced’, along with mentioning the cost for the active ride option as being expensive. Porsche has always been about performance first then luxury, so for this car to offer the best combination of both, €250k/$250k inc. all options is a relative bargain when compared to those other manufacturer’s flagship models. Paying for the pinnacle of engineering excellence that delivers outstanding performance, high end build quality and technology along with premium luxury all in one package is well worth it, in my opinion, and is practically unmatched by any other all-in-one sedan solution. Hats off to Porsche, again. Bravo 👏
I don't know if it is a UK thing, but here we can spec. massaging electric 8 way seats for the rear passengers, with ventilation and heating. Base price for the Turbo is around £141k, more realistic with the essential options £180k-£190k. £8k option for the active suspension, is a no brainer. As one journalist said £8k will buy a car - true - but not a dream car. £70k over here just buys you a nice "reps" car, so why not pay double and realise your dreams?
A lot of great information especially about the dampers that have seen nowhere else. But i think the info about the engine is a little bit wrong, it's actually just 519 hp, lower than the previous model but then the electric motor add power.
I think my regular maintenance when I hit 4 years/20k miles point (where they changed every fluid) was like 3k US$ but nothing has broken yet on my 2020 turbo and I drive it like an ass. My car is ridiculous, the 2025 seems to be even more stupid. 😅 but yes if it ever needs serious repair, I expect itto be crazy expensive.
