For anybody using the Porsche configurator to build up a new GTS, I noticed that the PDK option has climbed to $4840 from around $3200, if memory serves me, last year.

PTS is now up to $6950 from $5500. I know this is old news.

For comparison I built up a GTS 4 and found that it came within $5k or so of a 2014 Turbo I had on order with similar equipment.

Rising prices at Porsche are here to stay as long as the economy stays healthy.

i have a 991.1 GTS pdk and i believe the pdk was $4,800 -little or no change. you are correct the PTS is now more expensive. a strategy by porsche gmbh to discourage pts. can't recall where i read this, but it may have been Panorama magazine. cheers.

inflation i assume...

It was 3,200 on the 2017s - amazing price increase.

It was 4840 on my 15 GTS and the configurator shows the same price on the .2 GTS. No Change!

Just get the mans version and you will be much better off

OKB

It all equals out. For over 10 years they charged $3500 for GT Silver, now its only $710

Exactly!!

It was 3,200 on my 2017 .2 C4S. I wonder why it's more expensive on the GTS?

when I worked at the Big Yellow Tractor Co., machine options were often priced as a % of the machine's base price. That's why the same item on a more expensive machine was priced higher than on a cheaper machine. We also had items in the standard machine configuration that we would omit or "Less-Off" if a customer didn't want it. Funny thing, the amount "Lessed-Off" was always less that what we would have charged if we had made it an optional item and added to an order. Those pricing guys live in some sort of alternative reality.

PDK was the same price on the .1 GTS as the .2 GTS.

Always was more than the S and 4S for .1 and now .2

Why?? Can't say. Because they can??

not that simple, but without being informed, your perspective is understandable. there is a great article on the subject. porsche claims that creating a PTS car significantly interrupts normal production process, and PTS demand currently well outstrips PTS build slots leading to customer frustration.

I'm well informed on how the PTS process works. Nothing is being disrupted to the point that the opportunity cost exceeds $5k, guaranteed. They aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts to break even.
