That's interesting and very few have done this. It's new option it seems
Unfortunately we don't get the Sport buckets in the US because its not crash test approvaled for 4 door cars here.
This is the GT silver I saw in Dubai
Watching the video of the Taycan Turbo GT vs the Lucid Sapphire, the pro driver explains the benefit of the Porsche’s mechanical rear differential compared to the Sapphire’s torque vectoring methodology.
Maybe this is why Porsche didn’t go with a tri-motor setup on the J1.2?
Not worth the risk in California.
Law enforcement is heavily searching for cars with Montana plates and penalizing the owners.
I have a friend that is being actively investigated for the use of Montana registration. An investigator is snooping around the garage, counting the cars, asking...
The plastic rocker and rear bumper are prone to oil staining.
Ceramic coating protects against stains, makes it easier to wash and gives it a nice sheen
Hydrophobic properties make it easy to wash
Gives it a little more depth
Leasing makes the most financial sense when the residual value and money factor are subsidized by the OEM.
GM has masters this with the Hummer EV with an 80% RV. Essentially moving a car now and kicking the can down the road for the residual.
Tesla has been doing it too
PPE Sport is a shared Platform so it makes the most financial sense to modify it for ICE.
I don’t see how it could remain uncompromised though.
Thats why I just purchased the Taycan. I don't see any better EVs in pipeline for the US
It's different in the US. It doesn't matter how much you put down, just the residual set by Porsche Financial, APR which is called the "Rental Fee".
It's really Porsche that does this because they don't want to lease the cars.
Audi RS E-Tron GT Performance had a 1.2% rate.
Audi financial is...
If it's a car you love, then purchase is definitely the right approach.
Also of you're financing, rates go down,.you can always refi for a lower rate, pay down the loan more to decrease rate exposure.
The MF on new Taycans is around 7.9% now, CPO is higher from PFS.
Plus that silly $1095...
Exactly.
I was going to lease my car for incentives, then buy it out after that 2nd payment.
At a 45% residual, 8.4% APR (Money Factory), it made no sense at all.
Problem with Taycan lease is the horrible money factor and poor residual, specially on higher end models.
There are really good lease incentives on new 2025s right now
I've had the upgraded ASG before the car was delivered haha.
I need to get a better feel for the cars driving dynamics, including the oversteer.
I couldn't imagine with that upgrade and I can't wait 😎
@prj would know the difference in torque with a tuned RS E-Tron GT vs a stock Turbo S.
I know the Audi is software tuned to be softer, with more understeer.
J1.2 Turbo S/GT in stock form just rotates more.
I assume the GT roates even more due to have more torque.
A friend with a Tuned...
I have less than 2,000 miles on the car, stock Pirelli P-Zero R summer tires, in sunny California. I don't drive in the rain and I avoid driving in cold temps for safety.
I just really have to pay attention all the time and I'm not a good enough driver to ever turn off TC on public roads.
My...
