As someone who regularly drives in Germany: the bit from 190-250 looked incredibly slow and strained. I'm guessing the ICE engine is not supported by the E-Motor anymore and at that point it's just a 350hp car, having to pull 4500lbs+. While this is a niche application, it also means that you'll be tailgated by Mercedes and BMW Diesels, which is kind of annoying...

[@chriselliott8567]

Where do you get the $500-600/mo figure?

[@whatchis1120]

@@chriselliott8567 I myself have been doing preliminary research on these cars to make sure I'm in a great spot to buy one. I drive around 20k miles a year which is what I based it on, nothing wild for a commute and am not a believer in 10k mile service intervals along with my driving style. A standard oil service on this car is over $300 at my local dealer, they need a major service at 40k which is usually in the 2k ballpark if it's a V8 even more. The wheels are staggered so it will burn through back tires every year at the 20k-25k miles a year, and a full set the N spec Michelin AS are over $2k for a full set plus mount and balance and alignment here and there along with the uncharge if you have the drivers assist means an alignment is very close to a grand on it. So yeah for basic maintenance it's around there or more, not including the multi thousand dollar brakes between 40k-80k miles. In my experience dealer cost vary area to area also, German cars have become very expensive to not only buy but also maintain especially due to the expanding use of staggered wheels and weird tire sizes limiting tire options.

I've been hearing about 'Active Suspension" since the early 80s, reading about it in Popular Science magazine. Lotus was developing it for F1 and was working with GM for mass production. Sad to say both projects fell through; it was banned for F1 and GM...well, GM can't help themselves from being GM and cancelled the project. Here it is 40 years later and it's still a black magic fantasy for most people. I'm glad Porsche was able to finally implement it in a car...but for $160K? It's still going to be a while for mass implementation. We're still stuck with leaf-springs and McPherson strut for some time to come.

Example: a new set of Porsche-branded ignition wires for my 3.2 engine is $1,100 on Pelican Parts (utterly ridiculous). A set of Clewett ignition wires was $235 and they’re better quality. If you took your air cooled 911 to the dealer for this service, with parts I have to assume it would have been over $3000.
