That 2025 facelift

[simcity]

As a matter of interest I specced one to as close as I could get to mine and it was 12% more expensive.

Yep a smidge over 12% for me too, like for like. On basic prices the rear wheel drive appeared to have the biggest uplift from MY23 prices (which are still on the UK configurator) and top range Turbo S basic pricing was around 13% more if memory serves.

Some shots from Out of Spec. It is definitely a little stand out as a part, there must be a reason for that? Doesn't look as bad as on the configurator though

I specc'd an identical Turbo to mine and it came out £17k more, about 13%

Need to see one in the flesh. The green does strangely appeal.

Nothing strange about it, that colour is lovely

Strange for me I have a hoodoo voodoo thing about green cars and luck ?

Good views indeed - also front edge of this feature more prominent than side view but TBH, and a bit of a broken record at this pt. I know, I am still not 'feeling' it - when I consider all the design expertise at Porsche this just falls way short imo - but, as always, entirely personal.

OTOH there is a nice green back in the colour choice ? but the Neodyme wheels which would match it so well seem to be gone. The new pictures make blackberry look a fair bit paler than before which if accurate I’m less keen on.

You can get neodyme wheels with the green, you just have to get the Mission-Es. I know this because I feel the same as you regarding that green and gold....

Not doing it for me either. Such a shame that they decided to put the crease on the inside of the front wings (like they did on the 718). I much prefer the curves of the current model (and 992 etc) and it will certainly spoil the view out front.

Ah not on the Cross turismo

Continuing the discussion about front end design, what I found interesting is that in Gen 1, the only way to get the body colored pieces on the lower front splitter area was to get a Turbo model, even with the sport design package they were still all black.

It now looks like the sport design package for the 4s has 3 different options, body color, gloss black, and carbon fiber. Considering I personally prefer to the cleaner look of the non turbo front end on the refresh, nice to have the option to get the body color pieces and inserts on the 4s.

Built out a 4S CT and it was around $19,000 more (12% higher). Of course around $2500 was to get the green paint. I may have missed it being discussed earlier, but I do not like what they have done to the chalk (crayon)/black interior at all, far more black, and for some reason, black headrests? I am still perfectly happy with my ‘23, and will have it another 4-6 years.

Could they be active aero?

Could they be active aero?

maybe. Didn’t see anything in the blurb though. It looks like they funnel air into the front intakes?

 

[WuffvonTrips]

Could they be active aero?

That was my initial theory, or simply for cooling- but then it's not like Porsche to not draw attention to such a feature.

That turbo frontend is just inconsistent with the rest of the Porsche lineups. One thing is that Turbo is keeping the teardrop-like design which makes it more like Gen1.

For me I'd just wait for the real next gen.
