Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

[thestarkfactor]

Hey.

I will be ordering a Taycan through an employer salary sacrifice scheme and based on my calculations I have a budget of circa £87K to spend.

I was therefore looking at ordering the base level Taycan and adding options up to £87K limit.

What are the must have options on a base level Taycan, in your opinion, up to an approximate £13K spend, assuming the base price is £74K?

Thanks

Its going to be personal choice at the end of the day - Assuming you wish to stay with a standard colour and the standard leather interior I'd look at the following off top of my head : Performance Battery, BOSE, Some nicer 20 inch RIMS, Power Steering Plus, PDLS, Pano Roof, Upgraded seats (14 or 18 way), Folding Wing Mirrors, PASM, Park Assist, 150KW Charger, Powered Charging Door

I threw the above into configurator and those extras total about 12K-12.5K

If you want a none Std Colour or to Change Interior leather drop Pano Roof, do 14 way seats and not 18way, drop PASM, drop folding mirrors

Keep BOSE, 150KW charger, Perf Battery, Power Steering, Park Assist, PDLS

There will be others along with other ideas as well

Thank you, I'm definitely after opinions, I think I am pretty settled on the following;

20" Wheels
Performance Battery
BOSE
Upgraded paint (the first tier so about £900 more)

What is PDLS?

I have RWD and specced to 86k - thoughts - 20 or 21 wheels, the right paint, don’t worry about BOSE standard is really good, deffo air suspension, deffo bigger battery, deffo 14 or 18 way seats - the rest is personal choice …

Thanks, useful thoughts, I'll have a dabble with the configurator.

However, I have spotted that I cannot seem to add the performance battery through the lease company configurator, doesn't seem to be an option.

What is PDLS?

LED Main Headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)
Main headlights with dipped and main beams, as well as auxiliary main beam and four-point LED daytime running lights. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) with dynamic main beam control with continuous range adaptation depending on prevailing traffic and dynamic cornering lights as well as speed-sensitive headlight range control

Some lease companies list the bigger battery version as a separate model…

Good idea, here are the options for the base Taycan.

1. Air suspension
2. Power Steering Plus
3. Performance Battery Plus (essential)
4. 360 Pano Cameras
5. BOSE
6. Folding mirrors
7. 20" wheels
8. Pano roof
9. Metallic paint
10. Extended leather but will blow your budget
11. 150kW DC booster perhaps

Its my ballpark, as my RWD is about £86k now. Owned it 9mths.

I would say my recommended spec for UK roads is:

*Performance battery plus (for extra range and some performance)
*20" + alloys (for looks)
*Air suspension (lift for ramps etc)
*360 camera (absolutely essential for parking)
*Folding mirrors (it's a wide car)
*150 kw charger (if Tesla network opens up and v cheap option).

Bose (for me a must)

Everything else I think is individual.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, I've posted the base car options available through the lease site, so would appreciate input as to which would be the one with the performance battery.

The 93 kW variant is the performance plus. Or, any model of the cross turismo comes with the bigger battery (and air suspension) as well.

For me, I found the standard suspension to be great, therefore I opted out of air suspension and went with:

*Performance battery plus
*20" + alloys
*360 camera
*Folding mirrors
* ACC
* Bose

Here’s my alternative!
Don’t dismiss 4S with smaller battery.
It’s MUCH quicker, more fun and safer on soggy Uk roads.
Don’t fret range anxiety. You get air suspension and better PDLS
(Porsche Dynamic Lighting System) PLUS included.
Wheels, Paint, Auto dimming mirrors and Driver Memory Pack all you ‘need’
Or go white or black and treat yourself to something else from the
All you eat buffet….!?

No room for paint! Sorry!
Black it is then!

Interesting.

What do you think to this 4S spec?
