How Much Is a Porsche, Really?

Motor 1

a day ago

Generally recognized as the automotive equivalent of owning a Rolex, parking a
Porsche
in your garage is a rite of passage for anyone even mildly into cars once they reach a certain threshold of wealth. But how much coin do you need exactly? We've got the answers.
Porsche's current lineup is diverse. You've got cars made for the track, and you've got cars made for family. Some Porsche models run on gas, some run on electricity, and others run on both. The Macan Electric and Panamera are all-new, while the 911, Taycan, and Cayenne have recently been refreshed. The gas Macan and 718 Boxster/Cayman have essentially been around for a decade, and, sadly, they're on their last legs.
With the automaker recently hiking prices for 2025, here's how much each Porsche model will cost (at the very least) for the 2025 and 2026 model years. Base prices are what they are, but keep in mind that Porsche is a manufacturer notorious for pricing that can balloon fast once you start moving up the trim ladder and adding options.
Leather-edged, carbon-fiber floor mats and colored seat belts ain't cheap, apparently.

The new Macan Electric gets all the hype these days, but Porsche has decided to keep selling the old gas
Macan
alongside it (for now). This entry-level Porsche crossover has had a good number of updates over the years, but at its core, this car is more than 10 years old.
Nonetheless, the 2026 gas Macan starts at $66,950 including a $2,350 destination charge, and it has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 261 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque—undercover hot-hatch specs with an undercover hot-hatch drive. Spring for the $80,350 S or $95,450 GTS for even more performance thanks to a V-6 making 375 and 434 hp, respectively.

Porsche 718: $77,395

Now, for some fun stuff. The
2025 Porsche 718 Cayman
starts at $77,395, including $1,995 for destination, while the drop-top
718 Boxster
goes for $79,595. Those come with the 300-horsepower 2.0-liter flat-four.
S models crank it up to 350 hp for $12,500 more, while the acclaimed GTS 4.0 variants really start cooking with a 4.0-liter flat-six making 394 hp. The starting price for the Cayman GTS 4.0 is $105,395. The halo GT4 RS and Spyder, meanwhile, go for $173,395 and are, by all accounts, worth every single penny—if you can get an allocation.
As of this writing, 2025 is set to be the final year for this generation of the Boxster and Cayman, as Porsche previously confirmed that production is winding down in October. An all-electric successor has been in the works and teased for some time now, but given the uncertainty around electric car mandates, questionable demand for iconic performance vehicles being reinvented as EVs, and Porsche's own business model that self-admittedly 'no longer works,' I wouldn't put my eggs in any one basket when it comes to the future of the 718 line.

Porsche Macan Electric: $79,995

If you'd like the fancy, new Macan Electric, though, prepare to pay at least $79,995, including a $1,995 destination charge. That gets you into the single-motor base EV good for 355 horsepower with launch control, as well as 315 miles of range. This one hits 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. For reference, the base gas Macan does it in six.
Speed-demon Macan Electric buyers will want the 630-horse dual-motor Turbo, which gets from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and goes for $111,095 to start. Range stands at 288 miles for both that version and the mid-level, 509-hp 4S.

Porsche Cayenne: $91,150

Step up to Porsche's bigger
2026 Cayenne crossover
, and it'll cost $91,150, including $2,350 for destination. Not quite as old as the gas Macan, this car got a mid-cycle refresh for 2024 that brought new screens inside, tweaked exterior styling, and upgraded powertrains, including the return of a V-8 in the Cayenne S.
The base model uses a 3.0-liter V-6 making 348 horsepower, but cylinders and power (and price) increase with S, GTS, E-Hybrid, and Turbo models. Slanted-roof Coupe variants generally go for 5 to 6 grand more than a regular Cayenne with the same powertrain. The big daddy Turbo GT with 650 hp, rubber-band performance tires, and a Lamborghini Urus-baiting chip on its shoulder goes for more than 210 grand.

Porsche Taycan: $106,250

What the Panamera originally did for four-door Porsches, the
Taycan
did for electric ones. Porsche introduced the Taycan in 2019, and gave it a significant update for 2025, adding a bigger battery and, in turn, more range, as well as the more powerful and efficient rear motor from the Macan Electric.
A base 2026 Taycan starts at $106,250, including $2,350 for destination. That buys a single-motor car making 402 horsepower, good for 274 miles of range (up from the 208-mile base pre-refresh). Taycan 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, and Turbo S models all have dual motors, more power, and the requisite price increase,, but it culminates with the nutty Taycan Turbo GT. That one makes 1,019 hp, gets from zero to 60 in 2.1 seconds with the Weissach Package, and costs more than $240,000.

Porsche Panamera: $112,450

The newest model in Porsche's lineup at the moment, the very recently redesigned third-gen 2026
Porsche Panamera
, starts at $112,450 with $2,350 of that going toward destination.
Easily the most elegant-looking car in its lineage, the Panamera comes standard with a 2.9-liter V-6 making 348 horsepower and a 0-60 time of five seconds flat. E-Hybrid models add electricity while a GTS throws in a mighty 493-hp V-8. A top-of-the-line Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, meanwhile, uses both to produce a total of 771 hp, a 60-mph sprint of just 2.8 seconds, and a price tag north of $240,000.

Porsche 911: $134,650

Porsche's perennial thorn in the side of every other sports car that ever existed starts at $134,650 for 2026, including a $2,350 destination charge. Very recently refreshed, that price gets you into a base Carrera with a revamped flat-six engine making 388 horsepower and getting from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. That may not sound like much in the context of modern, six-figure performance cars, but make no mistake: even in base form, the 992.2 is transcendent to drive.
More analog T, more powerful S, and newly hybrid GTS models are rungs on the ladder approaching $190,000 to start. The vaunted, track-ready GT3 goes for $234,550, and even though Porsche hasn't revealed Turbo 992.2 models, expect those to be priced in the same general ballpark.
