It's Aventurine Green Metallic. It's a 911 colour. The current 'build your own' renders the colour wrong - it looks black. https://media.porsche.com/paint-to-sample/taycan/aventurinegreenmetallic

It's been good fun sharing comments with you too Murph! Yes the past 15 months have been a bit strange, and nor did I think this would be happening, but on the back of an immensely enjoyable 2022 - much of which spent abroad working, but having the most fun since I was in my mid-twenties - then...

Ha well I may be back in 2-3 years if the gov stops the childish infighting and instead expends focus and energy on helping people and businesses to prosper. However, I don't hold out much hope. I will be getting in touch with Porsche Reading about the electric Cayman. That could time nicely...

I cancelled in the end where I am leaving the UK permanently in the next two weeks. Moved everything abroad (business) and with that so do I. In the UK 30 days a year so couldn't justify the Taycan. Plus that company money will be personal money by around May time, and that turns a sensible...

Your corp tax "saving" (it is really a deferral) is about ££7,500. You will eventually dispose of the car. Let's assume after 4 years the car sells for £60k. We will also assume the children in Parliament have kept corp tax at 25%. £30k depreciation x 25% corp tax. However, your interest...

The story behind the Porsche owner is always more interesting than the Porsche itself. Congratulations on both the exit and the car.

I will leave again my comment from about a month ago, on a different thread, about a similar thing:

It was indeed Keith! Great guy. He did a lap in the Taycan and I too realised just how atrocious I am at driving. I was positively pedestrian around the track compared to him, to the point of it being embarrassing. But then I don't pretend I'm any good 😂 I've made the decision to leave the UK...

Yes, really! Absolutely ridiculous that "the little guy", which is most UK businesses, pay higher CT than a mega corp at an effective 26.5% up to £250k! What you are describing is not possible. You would be the owner of both entities, to transfer ownership of the car, otherwise Company B would...

2022 was the year when used prices went above average. 2023 is when used prices will go below average. 2024 is when used prices will normalise. If you sold your Taycan in 2022, you were lucky. If you must sell your Taycan in 2023, you will probably be unlucky (and disappointed). If you sell...

My first thoughts on seeing the facelift, where the bulges around the lights/droopy look are now softened - which doesn't look better imo - is that they are trying to turn it into the Panamera. And the reason for that is because once everything is EV'ified, Porsche does not need two EV luxury...

10%+ finance is insane and just not worth it. Waiting is prudent. There are various forum members who have cancelled. Many other orders will be cancelled, and many second hand Taycan's will sit. Used prices will revert to the usual 10% depreciation curve, meaning anything with an elevated used...

Facelift Taycan needs PDCC. Those 65,536 LEDs are weighing down each side. I commend this driver for indicating in the middle of the woods though.

Cheers for the responses to my q - all very insightful. I've navigated car parks mainly on the European islands, mainland I suppose there is more space. Good to hear the Taycan is nimble enough despite being reasonably large.

How did you find parking such a large car in European countries where multistory car parks are usually very tight? What about narrow roads? That would give me some anxiety, where it is bad enough in a small saloon/SUV. Cheers

For your information I am non-binary, cross dressing black woman who's a Scientologist.

Porsche pay her $1.5m annually. I wouldn't call that cheap for what is essentially a mascot. Her IG following is miniscule compared to other female influencers, if we assume women is who Porsche is trying to appeal to. Curiously, she has the same agent as Anna Kournikova. Remember her?... I...

I've seen it, it's just not a "flagship" kit like the Bugatti, Ferrari or Lambo. Has half the pieces as one thing. As another, it's a non descript model. They should have kept it as a road legal 911 Turbo. Perhaps the next kit Lego will release it will be that, and a flagship model... and the...

Luxury marques have always done that, for example, they are made into Matchbox and RC toys, they feature in video games, films, posters, TV shows. All of that is very subtle marketing. And it is done precisely to capture brand equity from a young age, so if any child grows up successful, they...

I was. But you get my point. Emma Raducanu is a 20 year old tennis player. She is one of Porsche's official "brand ambassadors". The average age of a Porsche owner is 50. It's just weird - and I work in marketing. She would be better off being a brand ambassador of the Fiat 500, or sticking...
