YouTuber Archie Hamilton reveals crazy cost of his new Porsche Taycan YouTube: Archie Hamilton RacingWith Porsche having revealed the 4S model of their all-new \u2018Taycan\u2019 electric car, it was only a matter of time before it fell into the hands of YouTubers. Archie Hamilton has now revealed his spec, with a final purchase price of over \u00a3100,000 ($130,000). The Taycan has been hailed as a revolution in electric sports car technology, with many going as far as calling it the first mainstream electric supercar. Available in 3 levels of trim, the 4S is the \u2018base\u2019 model with prices starting at \u00a383, 367 ($109, 074). While that may seem like a steep price, it\u2019s even more surprising when you realize that Archie added over \u00a323,000 ($30k) of options to get his final specification. Porsche are well known for making their money from options, but to spend that much money on extras alone is mind-blowing. Inspired by Porsche\u2019s \u2018Mission E\u2019 concept When considering the spec for his new Taycan, Archie was quick to say that it is important for him to consider residual and resale values. With this in mind, he has still gone for a very bold specification, opting for the gorgeous \u00a31,683 ($2,202) Carmine Red special edition paint. Archie also spoke a lot about the \u2018Mission E\u2019 spec influencing his car, with YouTuber TGE calling it \u201cvery cool\u201d. \u2018Mission E\u2019 was the official name for the concept car of the Taycan when it was revealed in 2015, which featured an all-white exterior with specially-designed wheels with white inserts. Opting for these wheels on production Taycans is a popular option, with many other owners having done the same. Alongside the \u2018Mission E\u2019 wheels, he also specified LED Matrix lights, folding mirrors, and \u2018Sport Design\u2019 side skirts, bringing the cost of exterior options to \u00a35,538 ($7,245). Clip starts at 4:12 Inside is where the most money was spent, with options totaling up to a whopping \u00a36,420 ($8,410). Highlights of his specification are the \u2018comfort\u2019 seats, panoramic glass roof, and the Porsche \u2018Chrono package\u2019, which adds the iconic clock in the center of the dash. With the Taycan already having breathtaking performance as standard, there isn\u2019t much in the way of performance options. Archie did opt for the \u2018Performance battery plus\u2019 which extends the range and ups the power slightly, though he did also deem it \u201cessential\u201d for resale values. The total cost of Archie\u2019s Porsche Taycan 4S All told, he spent a total of \u00a323,210 ($30,367) on options according to his spec shown in the video, with the final purchase price being a whopping \u00a3106,577 ($139,443). Archie is likely to be the first of many YouTubers to start buying performance EVs, so it will be interesting to see who makes the jump next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
