German Car Manufacturer Porsche is a brand that has a cult fanbase because of the brand value, top-notch level engineering and excellent driving dynamics. Since 1931, Porsche has been making machines that are iconic and built to last. Some cars like the 911 have become classics and are revered in the second-hand car market due to the brand value that they carry. Some, however, claim that their cars are unaffordable because of the price tag that they carry. It is important to understand that Porsche imports all its cars in India and that results in high taxes being imposed on the four-wheelers. Also, you have to consider the fact that when you are buying a Porsche, you are becoming a part of the brand which definitely feels like an achievement in life. The cheapest Porsche car on sale in India is Macan which costs Rs. 69.98 lakh and the range goes up to 911 GT3 coming at Rs. 2.5 crore. Here Are Some Reasons Why Porsche Cars So Expensive: High-End Engineering When it comes to craftsmanship, it is hard to find a brand like Porsche in the automobile industry. Every car that comes out of the Porsche factory has to go through rigorous tests to ensure optimum levels of quality for the buyer. Exclusive staff is employed by the brand to work on the cars to keep the quality always high. We also need to acknowledge the fact that these machines need hands that are experts with meticulous details all around. As these craftsmen have been in the business for so long, the costs to procure their services go up. High Performance and Driving Dynamics Porsche is always striving to master driving dynamics and produce high-performance engines, be it electric or internal combustion. The dynamics go on to include handling, braking and acceleration, justifying the premium price tag that these vehicles carry. A lot of work goes behind making the chassis strong and aerodynamically agile. As these are high-performance cars, they need to be able to bear the gravitational pull that comes along, and that requires engineering excellence. With the cars that they make, their focus is to provide an unmatched driving experience apart from the brand value that they carry. Iconic Design Language Be it the 911 or the electric Taycan, Porsche knows how to design beautiful cars that are a delight to watch on the road. Some Porsche cars are known to appreciate over time rather than depreciate. In a way, you are investing in a product that ensures that your driving needs are fulfilled while it would fetch you a good amount of money in the second-hand market. All they require is timely maintenance and regular replacement of defective parts. Some media houses keep raving about the vintage Porsche 356 which has definitely aged well over the years. Limited Production And Exclusivity Unlike mass-manufacturing Car Brands, Porsche believes in producing cars in limited quantities as buyers are limited, taking the costs way too high. As these cars are priced in the upper bracket, finding buyers may be difficult at times. In regions where Porsche does not have a manufacturing facility, completely built-up (CBU) or completely knocked-down (CKD) are the other options to procure these cars, again taking their costs high due to the high import duty and taxes.
