Cheap money has changed a lot of things, a hundred thousand pound Taycan is a decision about how much you can send to the finance company each month - it's not the Loadsa-money statement that it used to be prior to PCP. It absolutely is a status car- but, not in the way that that sort of price band/brand used to be.
The EV swapped DS is a whole other level though - you're not going to be able to sign up to cheap finance, you'll have to pay VAT and potentially import tax on it, which items alone would probably be four months payments on the Taycan, it's (to those who know, which will be a small group) a much more direct demonstration that you have $ than e.g. a Panamera.
All the more so because a Taycan is around a thousand times more practical, but then the EV-DS is a thousand times more cool.
