Porsche Tax Gone Crazy - Factory Wants $1000/hp

Specing out a car for daily use in the great white north and stumbled across the "powerkit" option. Which of course must be checked.

Except it cost $23,000!@!@!@!

Takes the 4S from 385 to 408hp.

Thats a great topline number but a serious tax. I hope it means there are serious internal differences to the crank, heads and rods. Otherwise it would seem Porsche should include as standard and up the price. And force me to buy a Noble.


I've paid $1,000 her hp before but it was on a race car and at the thin edge. That seems crazy to me?





For $150,000 on the road for a 4S, a Noble, GTR, hopped-up RS4, RS6, 335xi, and retro-fit of the Red Dragon are all looking like better options.

C'mon Porsche, I WANT TO BUSINESS WITH YOU BUT YOU ARE CRAZY!
