The true price of the Porsche 911 Turbo
By Autos Editors
aa_auto_porsche.jpg

When sales begin later this year, the new Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S will be among the fastest machines on the road.


Porsche 911 Turbo revealed

At $149,250 for the Turbo and $182,050 for the S, they will also cost thousands more than their immediate predecessors – saying nothing of some worthy, less expensive competitors.

This prompted a consideration of what kind of toys Turbo money could otherwise buy – bearing in mind that a Porsche customer would not cross-shop a Turbo S with, say, seven $25,000 Volkswagen GTIs.

:manny: It's a better platform with an inferior engine.

If they offered both cars (911 and Cayman) with the same engine options at the same price point, there would be no reason to buy the 911 other than its historic significance.

I thought this was going to reveal the true cost to manufacture the 911 and how much Porsche marks it up...

The option list on most of their models is ridiculous.
They are catering to the super rich, not the pizza delivery dude who earns under 30K a year.
