Yep..a base 718 starts at $56.9k and a base 911 starts at $91.1k. Start picking options and price goes up dang quick. Sport Exhaust is also an option on the base model 718/911...but I don't think it's just $500. Ohh...electronic sports sound for outside the Taycan....nice! Wonder if you can pop/gurgle/burp at a stop light....actually sounds like fun w/o burning dino juice.
Gotta love Porsche for their option pricing... Porsche Taycan configurator has a $500 option for... an mp3 file of motor noise - Electrek
The Taycan is a big departure for Porsche in that it’s their first EV, but there are definitely some ways it really feels like a Porsche. For example, the Taycan offers an insane amount of options — something Porsche is famous for. One of those options is Porsche’s “Electric Sport Sound,” a $500 option that adds fake, electric-like engine noises to the car. The “Electric Sport Sound” is described on Porsche’s configurator thusly:
Porsche Electric Sport Sound enhances the vehicle’s own sound and makes it sound even more emotional — both outside and inside the vehicle. Can be activated/deactivated via Porsche Communication Management (PCM). It costs $500, and is listed under the “performance” section of the configurator, alongside options like rear steering, dynamic chassis control, and brake upgrades.
