Mission creep

[grover]

I have very quickly got to over £100k on the configurator for a car that only just matches the spec of my turbo S without the uumph or turbo looks...........seems a bit pricy to me although looks very good on line visually. I hope the turbo has a sports exhaust option!

Likewise speccing my "ideal 991 C2S" very quickly ran up to about £107k......... ouch. Nice car in the spec mind.......

Strangely, the only things I wouldn't go for is the Sports Exhaust ... or the 20" wheels ...

How much does that save ? []

 

[pwebb]

Never had sports exhaust before. As an 'early adopter' it has not been available on early versions of previous models. This is the first time it has been listed when the new model has been announced. Price? £1,772
20" wheels are standard on the S, so no saving on standard. The Carrera Classic version I've ordered is a £728 option but I think look rather splendid.

So £2.5k off but still over £90k!!![]

Rear centre tunnel in leather

if this is the bit between the rear seats, it's already leather in standard trim. I think the option provides no additional leather, just contrast stitching

Great spec Peter, I do like the look of the sunroof, couldn't have one without (apparently [&:] according to my wife)
No sunroof in the 458 and I was onto a loser...... but the spider!!

Yup, & look at 458 residuals. I have lost more on Porsches since 2005 than the cost of a Spider. See you all at Chateau Impney?

Yes, sure you're right. I'll look at the launch cars and maybe delete that if it's not necessary. As I understand it, the option extends right the way up the centre console as well.

Just starting to look at the 991 myself , just thinking though is the price starting to push higher or is it me, it will be quite easy to get to 95k now on a big spec car, where are the days gone when Porsche were always fantastic value super cars, if I am going to spend this sort of money on my daily they I am going to also look at Jag, Maserati or even a 2 year California , my RS cost near on £127k makes me wonder what the new one will be?

PS This could mean a new Turbo s is in £150K money and an RS 160K money....as good as there are I will then be forced to also look at Ferrari, in another year a 458 will be down to £170K ish TUT TUT

Thats my worry too... that the new Turbo version could be as you say used Califonia money or even 458 money- with their much stronger residuals.

Provided you don't drive it very much. If you do watch out
