I just started speccing one. Got to £80k almost immediately on a base model, laughed and closed the configurator.
Why?How much do you think it should be?
Pricing is higher than I was expecting and based on that alone I'm glad I pulled my name off the list. I do think however that like the Taycan they will introduce a single motor version at a lower price at some point but don't think for one minute that will be a bargain either.
I also think that the pricing strategy suggests that the Cayster EVs are going to be significantly more expensive than their current petrol equivalents but if the performance gains are also similar to the Macan EV what will that do to the 911

Turbo STARTS at £95K with zero options (pi** take after the “its gonna be £85K” BS last week). The 4 needs at least £10K options so minimum £80K I’d say. Way over priced for a cut away yummy mummy school run size SUV.
I'm not an options person, but I specced one to £79k without trying. Just the stuff that's on my current Macan. Bit high.
It'll be interesting to understand the finance - albeit not for me personally.
I think it's very nice, looks better as the Turbo but that's 95k and optioned with the usual it's 105k and the 4 is 82k with the usual bits but it's now a big car so I guess that's what it costs.
Range is impressive anyone doing local trips and an average mileage per year isn't going to have to trouble the charger that often and it means round trips of 200-250 miles aren't going to involve thinking about charging.

However, when a new electric 5 series starts at nearly £75k, what price do you think this Porsche SUV with better range should be?
I don’t blame Porsche for pricing them as they have. They have a business to run and their brand warriors will pay up. Though, having driven my Maserati GranTurismo through Germany last summer and having been overtaken by countless BMW, Merc and Porsche SUV ‘coupes’ I do wonder where car design has gone.
In the past, in demand cars were long, low and, well, elegant. Now they are rectangular and whilst they might take up less physical road they have lost the grace of time gone by. It’s our fault and Porsche is not to blame anymore than any other prestige brand. The EV Macan will sell and I might indeed buy one but a Mondeo in platform heels that has been crashed front and back is a sad state of where automotive design now lives.

Sorry but that price is just laughable, would much rather buy a Range Rover sport or a defender and have change
I’ve also optioned the outgoing gts petrol to 87k so 28k difference between the gts with options and the ev with options,
I reckon values will tank it wasn’t long ago macans started in the 45k bracket
My fully loaded, and I mean fully loaded Macan GTS in June 2023 was £87k. If I can get another build slot before they cease production I will if not I will keep it. Residuals on last production GTS will be high me thinks. Build slots are tiny now so once production ceases prices will be firm
