Solid boost, no pun intended, in performance for the GTS! ;-)

Solid boost in price too, check out the CAD configurator. Dealer wants minimum 35k in options on top. No manual for now.

Base increase wasn't bad at $4,900 or 3.75%. Power Folding mirrors are standard now, so it is really a little less. Can't say I love the bumpers, rear tail light or instrument cluster. Don't hate it, but I prefer the 992.1 in those areas.

Jebus... electric motor spinning up the turbo? Better check that extended warranty box if you wanna keep this long term.

Yeah on the Carrera. Big jump on the GTS... $15k or 9% before factoring in the increase in luxury tax. Targa GTS with no options including luxury tax is $233k... and again, with zero options. Great car but $250k on the low end seems like a stretch, even with the new hybrid stuff.

The lux tax is hugely painful with the increase in base price tacked on. Also very hard to get a base car unless demand craters, so the GTS could be maybe $280 delivered with options..,

I think Porsche have now gone too far upmarket and will be in tough with the MSRP and Lux Tax impacts. If the GTS went up that much then the entire lineup will as well...

so no longer an analog tach, they ditched the key on the left for a pushbutton and it's over 100lbs heavier, no manual transmission in 2025.

lovely.
