Following this morning’s unveiling, Porsche has
launched the configurator for the 2020 Taycan. In the United States, the Taycan
Turbo starts at US$ 150,900. That’s pretty expensive, but it’s significantly
cheaper than the Taycan Turbo S which begins at US$ 185,000.
Prices quickly climb from there as the model is
offered with an assortment of options. Starting with the exterior, the Taycan
will be available in ten different colors and the only extra cost hue is Carmine
Red. 20-inch wheels come standard on the Turbo, but customers can order four
options including 21-inch wheels with carbon fiber aeroblades. The latter look
pretty cool, but they cost a whopping US$ 7,650.
A black leather interior is standard, but customers
can opt for a two-tone black / limestone beige or black / bordeaux red leather
interior for an extra US$ 570. There’s also three leather-free Race-Tex options as
well as three Club Leather choices. A number of packages are
available including a Premium package which costs US$ 4,340. It includes a fixed
panoramic glass roof, front / rear ParkAssist and a surround view camera
system. Other goodies include thermally
and noise insulated glass, an air ionizer, a storage package, lane change
assist and ventilated front seats.
The Performance Package, on the other hand, adds the
sport chrono package, Porsche dynamic chassis control sport, rear axle
steering, power steering plus and Porsche electric sport sound. It adds US$ 5,400
to the base price of the Taycan Turbo. On the styling front, there are
two SportDesign packs. The basic package starts at US$ 5,660 and includes a
sportier front fascia, revised side skirts and a special diffuser.
Speaking of the exterior, a number of individual
options are available including power folding mirrors (US$ 330), carbon fiber
mirrors (US$ 1,630) and full body color mirrors (US$ 660). Other options include LED
door projectors (US$ 330), high gloss black window trim (US$ 400) and an assortment
of colored badges.
On the performance side, options include surface
coated brakes with high gloss black calipers for US$ 900. Customers can also order
ceramic composite brakes with yellow (US$ 5,580) or high gloss black calipers
(US$ 6,480). Components from the Performance Package are also available
individually and the sport chrono package retails for US$ 1,320.
Moving into the cabin, there’s a host of options
including a heated steering wheel (US$ 280), a rear bench seat (US$ 480) and
massaging / ventilated front seats (US$ 2,000). Customers can also order an
assortment of trim options including Paldao wood (US$ 2,000), carbon fiber
(US$ 2,460) and aluminum (US$ 1,450). There’s also a four-zone climate control system
with a rear 5.9-inch touchscreen for US$ 990.
On the tech front, Night Vision Assist costs US$ 2,420
while Porsche InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control goes for US$ 3,610. A
21-speaker Burmester premium audio system is available for UA$ 5,810 while the
much talked about 10.9-inch front passenger infotainment system costs US$ 1,130.
