Porsche Raises Delivery Fees and Prices on Most 911 Models

Porsche Raises Delivery Fees and Prices on Most 911 Models

Yahoo28-03-2025

With tariffs on the way, it'll hardly shock anyone to hear that a global automaker like Porsche is raising prices right as its 2026 models become available to order. The end result is a 911 that costs several thousand dollars more than it did last year.

The 911 that saw the biggest price increase from last year is also, perhaps not coincidentally, where customers are likely to feel it the most: the base 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. That car started at $122,095 last year, but today it'll set you back $129,950, a price hike of nearly $8,000. No less offensive is the addition of nearly the same $8,000 to the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Ordering today will cost $143,150 as opposed to the $135,395 Porsche charged for a 2025 model year car. While perhaps less egregious, we doubt anyone will be happy to know that Carrera T and all GTS models see a smaller increase—around $5,000—and Carrera S and GT3/GT3 Touring prices reflect changes of less than $1,000.
Even outside the immediate 911 family, though, customers will be paying more for their Porsche Panamera, Taycan, gas Macan, and Cayenne models than last year. Prices escalate across the brand, largely due to the increased delivery fee. Porsche's "Delivery, Processing, and Handling Fee" increases to $2,250 for the 2026 model year vehicles compared to last year's $1,995.
Porsche doesn't necessarily charge you for nothing. While changes are minimal, there are some concessions that might help buyers bridge the lengthy price gap. The standard 911 Carrera gets the Leather Package as standard, which was formerly a $2,840 option. New Paint to Sample color and decal options offer more customizability, too. Finally, there are minor updates to the 992.2 just a year after the model's comprehensive refresh, including a newly improved infotainment system with Amazon Alexa integration, extended third-party app support, and Dolby Atmos capability for the Bose and Burmester premium sound systems is included, too. While we're not sure we would've independently noticed those somewhat minute additions, it's good to see your money going somewhere.
Another year, another price increase. Sadly, it's the way of the world these days, and Porsche isn't immune. More concerning is how this affects people with orders in the pipeline—especially as the storm clouds of 25 percent tariffs loom in the not-so-distant future. When the 992 generation 911 debuted as a 2020 model year car, it was priced at $98,750. It's not often you see an MSRP spread of over 30 percent across one generation, and it's an odd crown to wear, but we suspect the 992 911 has a serious claim to the throne.

The Newest Nürburgring Lap Record Belongs to China

While the U.S. has pretty much banned Chinese-made cars by tariffing the value out of them, Chinese brands continue to prove they are a force to reckon with, now and if they ever come to our shores. The latest proof of that has just been set by the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, an all-electric sedan that just reset the lap record for electric sedans at the Nürburgring. It's a record that was once set by Germany's own Porsche in 2004. This isn't the first time the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has set a record lap at the track known as 'the Green Hell.' In October of 2024, the stripped-down prototype went out and shattered the record for four-door vehicles by setting a 6:46.874 lap time. Of course, it wasn't a full production vehicle, but it still set that impressive lap on a partially wet track and even lost power for around 12 seconds during the run. Xiaomi did declare, however, that it would return to the Nürburgring with a production version of the SU7 Ultra and reset the production electric sedan record. April 1st would mark the day that Xiaomi would do it, but it would need to beat the official record of 7 minutes, 7.55 seconds—a record recently set by the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package. The SU7 Ultra would also utilize track ready parts just as the Porsche did with a set of Bilstein Evo T1 coilovers, Endless high-performance brake pads for its carbon ceramic brake system, upgraded motor and battery cooling system, and high-performance tires. With Vincent Radermecker—former World Touring Car and British Touring Car driver—behind the wheel, the 1,527-hp triple-motor sedan crossed the line in 7:04.957 and stole the production EV sedan record. To put this time in further perspective, the SU7 Ultra starts at $73,724 (when converting from 529,900 Chinese Yuan, at the time of writing) and set a time faster than the Rimac Nevera. The Nevera is an all-electric hypercar that starts at $2.2 million with four motors outputting 1,888 hp and it was beat by 0.341of a second (a time of 7:05.298 for its official production car record) by a sedan that can have a fridge equipped inside the center console (there is no word if the record setter was chilling some drinks during the run). The SU7 Ultra also hit a top speed of 214.994 mph racing down the Döttinger Höhe straight. It's safe to say that Xiaomi has helped put the world on further notice that the Chinese OEMs are not slacking around—and why Ford's Jim Farley loves his Xiaomi.

Missing Black Friday? This Bose TV Speaker Is Back at Its All-Time Low Price

Enhancing your home entertainment system, you might be astonished to find that a good TV speaker can sometimes cost more than the TV itself. Premium soundbars and home theaters can easily get into the hundreds or even approach the $1,000 mark which for most families is a significant expense. That's where Bose tops the list by offering budget-friendly products that don't compromise on quality: Their TV Speaker is a good example: high-quality sound without the high price tag. Amazon is now selling this popular soundbar at an all-time low of $199, down from its original price of $279. This is a Black Friday-style deal and, given the popularity of this item, there's a real possibility of this selling out in short order. See at Amazon Our Favorite Budget Speaker The Bose TV speaker has a compact form that belies its powerful performance with two angled full-range drivers that create a wide, natural soundstage. This trickery of spatial audio provides the illusion of more realistic dialogue and sound effects and transforms your living room into a mini home theater. Many viewers struggle to hear dialogue clearly, especially in films or shows with plenty of background noise or action: The Bose TV soundbar addresses this issue head-on and uses advanced processing to improve vocals and ensure every word is crisp and easy to understand. Setting up the Bose TV Speaker couldn't be simpler: Just connect it to your TV using the included optical audio cable or an optional HDMI cable and you're ready to go in minutes. The soundbar's compactness (at slightly over 2 inches in height) enables it to be placed in front of your television or mounted on a wall with optional brackets. Despite its small footprint, the Bose TV speaker kicks out a great sound, engaging the room in detailed audio that surpasses most TV speakers integrated into the television. What's great is that the Bose TV speaker features Bluetooth connectivity so you can wirelessly stream music and podcasts from your phone, tablet or any other devices. It can remember three paired devices and will connect with the first device that is turned on. With multiple inputs (HDMI-ARC, optical, and AUX), you can easily switch between your TV, gaming console or other devices. Amidst a market saturated with expensive and complicated audio solutions, the Bose TV Speaker is a breath of fresh air. Don't wait, however: this offer doesn't get any better, and stock won't last long. See at Amazon

The luxurious design and exceptional comfort of the headphones stand out among other wireless audio options, with soft ear cushions and a perfectly-pressured headband making these worth wearing for long listening sessions. But comfort means nothing if a set of headphones doesn't deliver when it comes to audio performance. You'll find plenty to love about the QuietComfort Ultra's audio experience.

Any time you see a Bose deal is a great time to buy, as significant discounts don't often pop up. This deal knocks the Bose QuietComfort Ultra down to $379, which is good for $50 in savings.
