So, based on current exchange rates, pricing in US currency should be 90K to start and up to mid 140K for turbo.

In my calculator AUS$288.000 is $200.786.
Right?
Pretty close, I got US $200,737.43 at the Australian dollar trading at 1.43471. IMO that is too much for the Taycan Turbo S. You can get a ICE Panamera for that kind of money and not have to worry about new model gliches. Also way more than a Tessla S which already has somewhat of a charging station infrastructure already in place and the Taycan will not have as robust of a charging station infrastructure (400 for the entire US is planed but not in place currently).

I am likely a player at a MSRP for the Taycan Turbo S @ $140k - $160k + tax, license etc. assuming I like the final product. At $200k + tax, license, I will likely stick with ICE vehicles as I am not a fan of the Tesla.

It seems that the price creep has been pretty significant IMO assuming this information is accurate.:(

My Pano Turbo S is a fine DD and I got it used two years old with 15k miles on it for way, way less $$$$$$.

Agree. At $200K USD that’s 911 Turbo territory. I’m hoping that the Aussies are getting ripped off ... sorry guys....

Correct. Every time I mention price creep on this forum I get blasted,but I know I’m correct. Taycan is now solidly in 911 price structure

Well, only speculated prices creep as far as I'm concerned.
Still, there are no exact numbers.
AUS$288.000 sounds way too much for a Taycan Turbo imho.
That should be for a Turbo S (if they're gonna introduce it anyway).
Till then, it's pure speculation.
