Re: Panamera UK pricing announced
I wonder how many customers from the continent will try to order a LHD Panamera at UK dealers. Just checked out the price for the GT3 facelift: 88.7 k€ incl. 19% (german) VAT 
Very tempting

Re: Panamera UK pricing announced
Why?
German buyers can buy a LHD German spec car from a UK dealer as an export (i.e. without paying 15% UK VAT). They can convert their Euros into British Pounds very, very favourably right now to pay for the deposit and they can EITHER buy an OTC FX Forward (EUR/GBP) trade to lock in the great FX rate OR an OTC FX Option (EUR/GBP) trade (i.e. to hedge the FX risk between the time of placing the order and the time for making payment of the balance of the purchase price). They can then collect the car (using factory collection) from Zuffenhausen thereby preventing any need to collect from the UK dealer. Lastly, they can register the car personally in Germany and pay 19% German sales tax to the German tax authorities.
So simple! And they can save currently in excess of Euros 22860 right now. I know - I have recently done the calculations:

The UK is a bargain place to buy Porsches right now for buyers from the Eurozone.

Queram:
A GT3 MKII is more than 220000€ here. I am seriously considering buying a house near a track in Europe and opening an office as well. I like to spend time there anyways.

Re: Panamera UK pricing announced
I posted UK prices a week or so ago on the Panamera board and made the suggestion that Euro buyers may want to consider purchasing in the UK and doing factory collection 
According to an article in Autocar the other week, 20% of Porsche GB sales are currently to buyers in other EU countries.
