Porsche Hikes Prices Again Due to 'Market Conditions'

Porsche Hikes Prices Again Due to 'Market Conditions'

Motor 1a day ago
A Porsche being expensive is not news. These cars always have been, and always will be. But, recently, the automaker implemented price increases across its entire lineup, citing "market conditions." Initially brought to our attention by
Road & Track
, Porsche has since confirmed these price increases.
"With our customers front of mind, we keep a regular watch on market conditions, absorbing costs where we can and making adjustments only when it's absolutely necessary to do so," a spokesperson said in a statement. "Where possible, we have taken steps to support our customers, but market conditions necessitate incremental adjustments to MSRP. The price adjustment encompasses all models and varies from model to model, from between 2.3 and 3.6 percent."
Here are the previous and current prices for each Porsche base model.
Model
New Price
Previous Price
Increase
2025 718 Cayman
$77,395
$74,795
3.5%
2026 911 Carrera
$134,650
$129,950
3.6%
2026 Cayenne
$91,950
$88,795
3.6%
2026 Macan
$66,950
$65,350
2.4%
2026 Panamera
$112,450
$108,550
3.6%
2026 Taycan
$106,250
$102,550
3.6%
Porsche also tells us, "market conditions necessitate incremental adjustments to individual option pricing and delivery fees from time to time." So, depending on what options your car has, the new price may be more than 3.6 percent higher than it was a few months ago.
Porsche didn't blame tariffs specifically here, but it's one of a handful of volume automakers that doesn't make cars in the US. The company builds all its cars in Germany, except for the Cayenne, which is made in Slovakia, and in very small numbers in Malaysia for that market only.
The Trump administration put a 25-percent tariff on imported automobiles and automobile parts in place back in April, on top of a preexisiting 2.5% import duty. Trump on Saturday
threatened a 30-percent tariff on all goods from the EU
. This, of course, would apply to all Porsche cars.
Earlier this year, we reported that
Porsche is considering starting US production
. Obviously, its customers have long been used to paying premium prices for their cars, and while a 3.6 percent increase might not be a huge deal for 911, Taycan, and Panamera buyers, it could be an impediment to customers of less expensive, larger-volume models like the Cayenne and Macan.
Porsche is in a precarious situation
right now. Its sales are down globally—especially in China, where buyers are rejecting non-domestic automakers—and customer response to EVs like the Taycan and Macan Electric is less enthusiastic than the automaker hoped. US sales have remained strong, but buyers here aren't adopting EVs as quickly as everyone (including Porsche) thought they would, and tariffs are complicating everything.
It just illustrates the rewriting of the automotive order. Up until recently, Porsche was the envy of the auto industry, wildly profitable and beloved by so many. That's still true today, but the picture is not as rosy in Stuttgart as it once was.

Google partners with Youngkin and offers AI training courses to Virginia job seekers

RESTON, Va. — Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on Tuesday that Google will partner with his administration to provide free and low-cost artificial intelligence certification courses to Virginians as part of his office's ongoing effort to connect citizens to new jobs amid changes to the state's economy. The partnership, which he has described as an AI career launchpad, will provide Google-sponsored AI training courses for up to 10,000 Virginians at any given time, officials said at Google's office in the northern part of the state.

Perplexity CEO: AI Coding Tools Transformed the Way We Work

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said that the startup's engineers are using AI coding tools. AI search engine startup Perplexity internally mandated the use of AI coding tools — and says that its engineers have been noticeably more productive. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas told Y Combinator that the startup "made it compulsory" for its engineers to use AI coding tools such as Cursor or GitHub Copilot. These tools can generate blocks of code and debug programs. Related: AI Is Already Writing About 30% of Code at Microsoft and Google. Here's What It Means for Software Engineers. Srinivas said that Perplexity engineers have seen measurable outcomes so far: Using the tools cuts down on "experimentation time" for new tasks from "three, four days to literally one hour," he said. "That level of change is incredible," Srinivas stated. "The speed at which we can fix bugs and ship to production is crazy." Perplexity's AI search engine reported a 20% month-over-month growth in May with 780 million queries. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas.

He pointed out that when the AI search engine first got started in 2022, it processed 3,000 queries a day, advancing to 30 million queries a day by May. "It's been phenomenal growth," Srinivas stated at the event. Still, there "are issues," Srinivas said about using AI coding assistants, noting that the tools can introduce new bugs that software engineers aren't familiar with and don't know how to fix. Last week, Perplexity introduced Comet, an AI-powered web browser that takes on Google Search and Google Chrome. Comet uses Perplexity's AI search engine as its default tool, putting the company's core product front and center for users. In May, Perplexity was reportedly in late-stage talks for a $500 million funding round that would value the company at $14 billion.

The Paramount comics, Colbert and Stewart, are sharp critics of the '60 Minutes' deal

NEW YORK — This isn't a joke. They've made that clear. CBS 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert condemned parent company Paramount Global's settlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuit over a '60 Minutes' story as a 'big fat bribe' during his first show back from a vacation. Colbert followed 'The Daily Show' host Jon Stewart's attack of the deal one week earlier. Stewart works for Comedy Central, also owned by Paramount, making the two comics the most visible internal critics of the $16 million settlement that was announced on July 1.
