Porsche raising prices effective August 1st

If it's a new Porsche you have your eye on, you've got a new excuse to buy one now. The company says it's raising prices on all but one of its models, effective August 1. The newly freshened Cayenne is the only nameplate exempt from the increase.

The Boxster price goes up .5%, Boxster S and Cayman S up .4%, but the base Cayman's price will carry over unchanged. Porsche's 911 Carrerra, GT3, GT3 RS increase 1.5% while buyers of 911 convertibles will pay another 1.4%.

Those craving a 911 Turbo will get hit the hardest after August 1, with a 2.3% larger bill. That's at least $5,726 more than you'd pay on July 31.
