    The BBC's probably forgotten to add up VAT! It'll be 93k after VAT.

    From the Porsche UK online car configurator (starting config):

    Vehicle base price
    Pounds 95,923.00

    Price total for equipment
    Pounds 1,917.00

    Price total
    Pounds 97,840.00
    * (incl. VAT)

    So less VAT would be 83k - so they'd still be 4k out. What I think they've done is taken the US price and just applied the exchange rate to Euros and GBP.
