It starts at $103,150. I decided to see how much I could get it too with with options I would want. With typical Porsche outrageous option prices of course outlined here to highlight just how crazy they are
First option I choose was $750 bucks for Jet Black Metallic.
20' in Carrera Sport wheels $1,370
Leather Interior in Black with Carrera T Interior Package, Contrasts in Racing Yellow for $3,480. This required adding The Carrera T Interior package which is another $3,190 on top of the $3,480. Total $6,670. Whats bogus about this is that it adds nothing of importance or value. It adds door handle pulls, seat trim and stitching on the armrest and dash as well in yellow ( other colors options are red and gray)
Full bucket sports seats are $5,200. If you want to add those you have to add $910 for an Alcantara wheel and shift lever for the PDK or manual gearbox. I added it for the PDK, which then requires that you add the PDK trans for $3,730. Total $9,840
I added LED Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus for $3,540. Nearly 4 grand for fancy turning headlights that are LED’s
Tinted taillights for $660
Porsche entry and drive, which according to the description on the site is: Vehicle locking, unlocking and engine start without active use of the key. System comprises cabin and external antennas as well as proximity sensors in the door handles and in the front end. Why they couldn’t simplify it and say keyless entry is beyond me. But thats $1,100
Power folding mirrors for $330
Electric tilt and slide glass sunroof for $2 grand
A sport design package that includes a unique front and rear facia for $4,500
Power steering plus for $280 which pretty much gives better maneuverability at lower speeds
Front axle lift system for $2,590. This is just an adjustable suspension and can compensate for the sport design package that could scrape on things like driveways and speed bumps
Rear steering for $2,090
Carbon ceramic brakes $8,520
Sport Chrono package for $320. Adds the stopwatch and driving mode buttons for the wheel
Adaptive cruise control for $2,490
Lane change assist for $850
Light design package for $510 which just adds a bunch of LED interior lights
Painted air vents ( you get to choose your color that can match the exterior). I choose it in yellow to go with the seats. Just for that $1,720
Same yellow but for the speedo, $860
Leather key pouch, $530
To get the Sport Chrono watch in the same yellow color, $420
Aluminium pedals and footrest, $630
Burmester high end audio system for a whopping $5,300
Lastly since I’m in Socal, I opted for the LA delivery experience at the new Porsche center for $450. Grand total? $161,440 with an eye watering $58,290 in options. There’s a damn Macan in options price wise. And that’s not even all the options. The amount of things you could get covered in leather was crazy. But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Porsche is insane with their option prices because they know buyers will pay. That’s how you end up with $500 seat belts.

20' in Carrrera Sport wheels $1,370
Not a bad deal for a new monster truck.

I’d option mine in white, with bucket seats, and wheel painted black. That’s about it.
ok...maybe the Carrera T interior package with red stitching.

Theres very of few of these off this list I would actually get. I would probably end up with whatever is on the lot/showroom floor.

I feel like optioning them up that highly goes against the spirit of the model. I like all the extra performance hardware it has from more expensive models as I mentioned and would rather keep the weight and price low(er).

You have to pay $1,100 for keyless entry!? That’s it. They’re not getting my business.

It does. This model should be bare bones, driving focused. You might as well go get another non performance 911 model if you want all these “luxuries”.

I too was lined up to buy a 6-figure Porsche. But now I’ve changed my mind!

-’Cheapish’
-MSRP = $100k.
No. Nothing that costs six figures can be described as ‘cheap’. Even compared to. Something costing 10x more, $100k is still super expensive and just as out of reach to most people as $1M.

Spending $100k on a car is definitely a 1%er (or less) thing.

I meant cheapish compared with the rest of the 911 models, especially the performance ones.

Not even compared to other 911s is a $100k car cheap. For most people, $100k is a 30 year mortgage. That a person can spend $150k, $200k, or even $1M on a car if they have the means and really want to doesn’t make $100k ‘cheap’.

It’s the smart-key system, not just a remote to unlock it. Those are standard (for whatever that’s worth).

Not much. But yeah, I realized that. Thanks, though.
