Porsche is killing the business… I was at the Porsche dealership in Austin Tx today.. Speaking with the service folks they replace 2 Tycan batteries a month… That’s 35-40k oach the bleeding edge of progress…Dang - hard to believe. Probably good news for residuals on the final production Caymans though.
Car & Driver article linked here.
There's no more petrol 718 Caymans available to order down under anymore. The last production batch is being manufactured in the next few weeks and that's it. Other markets (e.g. US) might still be able to order them until mid next year, but not for long. The 911 will go hybrid shortly too, so the days of sportscars without any form of electric propulsion is numbered.
Welcome to the brave new world of eV sportscars!
I was interested in the Z06 as well. How's the Z06 market doing right now? How long is the waitlist? I saw some of the Z06 without Z07 package were going on sale at MSRP.Another reason I ordered a Z06 it has a high-rev NA motor, even Porsche has moved the 911 GTS to a Hybrid as it’s all over YouTube.
Mine will be at MSRP with courtesy local delivery. I been on a wait list since June of 2020 when I picked up my C8 Z51. I could have had my Z06 in late 2022 but I was building a new home & did not have the space to store it. I noticed All cars are coming down from the crazy frenzy days and you can now find a Z06 at MSRP, but it’s usually the more expensive versions. The larger dealers have deep wait list but many of these people are wanting a particular build and are waiting. If you look hard and call around you could get lucky and snag one of the lower options car at MSRP. The way I built mine, she comes in at $119.000 before taxes. My goal was to get everything I needed while keeping the cost in line to reduce any future losses. The 2024 comes with more options that did not require me to move up in price (Rear View Camera mirror as example ). The 2025 will have a price increase, all orders that get entered in GM order system after July 11th will be for a 2025 with a late September delivery. Motor wise the Z is truly hard to beat, I do wish it had the looks of my Emira, but if it did the car would probably be 219k instead of 119k.I was interested in the Z06 as well.

119k is a great price! Not much more expensive than the Emira and an amazing bang for the buck.Motor wise the Z is truly hard to beat, I do wish it had the looks of my Emira, but if it did the car would probably be 219k instead of 119k.
The rear is uglier on the C8 Z51 compared to the wider Z06 rear which IMO looks a little better without the Z07 package high wing. Interesting video just hit 5 hours ago, like I mentioned I would never compare these two cars. Plus the convertible Z06 in this video is slower and heavier than the reg z06.119k is a great price!

I can't get over the styling of the C8 Corvette especially the rear end and that's why I haven't put down a deposit.![]()
Nova is right, the Taycan has sold nearly 2 to 1 vs the Panemera for the past 3 full years. Not a runaway sales champion, but also far from a total dud.Is the Taycan a sales flop, though? I know Porsche would have like to sell more of them, but the sales numbers are pretty strong compared to the rest of their line up. It's still a compelling car, just priced too high. I drove one for a couple of hours and the technology just seems lacking compared to what I'm familiar with in the Tesla. I couldn't make heads or tails on even the basics of how much range I have left given the current trip. The menu system and navigation looks like something designed in the 2010s. Electric car buyers want tech - polished well working tech with an UI and fluidity of operation that goes head to head with Apple and Google. Porsche needs to get this right if they expect to take serious market share from prospective EV buyers.
Nice review, the Emira held its own subjectively (not so much quantifiably with lap / drag times) and can be had for a significant savings. The vette design is just not aging well to me, and that's enough for me to not get one despite the amazing performance.The rear is uglier on the C8 Z51 compared to the wider Z06 rear which IMO looks a little better without the Z07 package high wing.

My Z06 will be the same but with Red Calipers
