How I'd Buy It: 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Porsche throws its hat into the growing EV field with the all new Taycan.

Today, I’m going to do something I never do – build a car that’s totally unrealistic! Here’s a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Porsche’s new EV sedan. It has a top speed of 161 MPH and can run 0-60 in 2.6 seconds! Overboost HP tops out at 750 HP but note that max range is just 201 miles in the Taycan Turbo S model. I see many people complaining about how expensive Teslas are, which isn’t an invalid complaint for some Teslas. But you haven’t seen anything until you price out a Taycan! Normally, I’m not one for super cars or even sports cars, honestly. But if I were to hit the lotto or something I guess, here’s how I’d buy my dream Taycan.

I won’t list out every feature I added, but rather my personal top 5. Because Porsche’s are infinitely customizable pretty much and get ridiculously expensive – I added $56,000+ worth of options, which is as much as another whole car costs… Just let that sink in.

2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Exterior Color: Neptune Blue (+$3,150)

Interior Color: Truffle Brown Leather (+$2,450)

Base Price: $185,000

Price: $242,520

My Top 5 Favorite Options: 21’ Taycan Exclusive Rims w/Carbon Fiber (+$4,510), Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport - +$3,590), 19.2 kW AC On-Board Charger (+$1,680), Passenger Touchscreen Display (+$1,130), Seat Belts in Bordeaux Red (+$660)

You can’t have a car of this level without the adaptive suspension in my opinion, so I’d spring for PDDC Sport even though it costs $3,500. May as well have the best driving experience possible! I’d also want a more efficient charging experience, which is why I’d opt for the 19.2 kW AC On-Board Charger. The other features I feel are just part of the “Porsche experience” – the passenger touchscreen, which is unique, the carbon fiber rims, and red accents throughout the brown leather interior would add character to an already stunning vehicle.

Like I said, I’d probably never purchase one of these in real life! But would you? As configured, my monthly payments would be $4,500 per month… YIKES!!! Curiously, you’d actually pay less per month to finance the Taycan, not lease it I noticed. Personally - I’m good, man.
