Re: Boxster Coupe / GTS now called C7S????
I think that, like what we've seen with the Cayenne, the first release of the C7 will be the high powered one, then there will be a less powerful version on sale, closer in price to the base Boxster, maybe.
Not cheaper though as Porsche will claim that, according to Autocar, the C7 is driver focused car. So maybe different chassis tweaks here and there, better interior, who knows?
I was asking myself about cannibalisation too.
But from the bottom, it'll be Boxster vs Base C7, so it'll depend whether you want a open or close car.
However, from the top, it'll be C7S vs Base Carrera, if you're gonna pay Pounds50,000 for a C7S then why not stretch to a Pounds58,000 Carrera?
I think the C7S, being focused, to have that same sportiness with the Carrera will need Sport chrono, sport chassis, etc etc etc, eventually adding to the Pounds58,000 base price, I don't know just a thought.
I am sure Porsche marketing gurus have done their homework.
To me, that model is still a mistery, the good news is we'll find out this year all about it, and frankly, as a costumer, the more choice the better!
This is good.
GT, sports car, 2WD, 4WD, manual, tiptro, DSG, n/a, turbo, PASM, sport chassis, cab, coupe, rear engined, mid engined, S, non S, no matter what, at the end of the day, the Porsche costumer is the winner, so much choice! :t
