A limited edition of 1250 pieces. The specificities? A rear spoiler ala 911 RS 2, 7. An interior which reminds me some 911 from the 60's / 70's. A 3, 7 liter bi turbo engine, providing 550 HP ( not the most powerful ), but coupled to a 7 manual gear box A...  

😂 beautiful car ! But wow wow wow on the price. Best Gatsby

Except recent years for those GTx / GTx RS by some dealers, not all ask for more over retail.

So the daughter is working on me to get the 2 door - 🤪

But limited edition will sell out for sure.

If you make a mistake in the 997, the car will spin. Anything 991 and later is so easy to drive, and the traction control is so good, that the car will catch you and prevent you from spinning the car. I was at a Porsche event on the race track (I posted i... 

On my AMG, the ESP clamps down the inside turn rear brake all the time, and much too forcefully, even for relatively "normal" turns at "normal" speeds. Very aggressive, and very poorly modulated. It should come on more gradually. In the Porsche 997, I rec... 

The 911 has so much camber on the rear tires, and the tires are so wide, that you have a large amount of grip. But because the engine is behind the rear axle, there's that pendulum effect. I can generally feel the Boxster or Cayman step out, and it's very... 

It's rare to see them. And all the "nice" cars like Ferraris are once a month cars. In the UK, I even see people driving their Ferraris in the rain! In Northern California, that'd be unheard of! GT3s are definitely sold here, but just not commonly driven.... 

And even then, you still see some nice cars driving about! They just have to drive a little slower on account that the super-wide tires will aquaplane if they drive through a deep puddle!

On a lighter car like an Alpine, a wider tire would add significant mechanical grip, but when traction breaks, it'll be super violent. Considering the short wheelbase in an Alpine, I would opt for a more conservative tire package. However, on a heavier ca... 

The Alpine sounds like it's just right, not over-tired, not under-tired. With modern tire technology, tires have gotten so much grippier in the past 10 years, that 245mm for 300 hp is very doable, especially considering the light weight of the car, the 21... 

It's so hard to say, but to me, this one is just overdone. I like the Houndstooth, but on the doors? If you look at the 911 R from a few years ago, that featured Houndstooth, I feel that one was just perfect. Also the 911 50th Anniversary Edition 2013 was... 

...but that price🫣

This is just again a copy-cat of something they did with the 997. Absolutely boring and just reaching for dumb money imho. But after 17 years of ownership ranging from regular 911 to 959 they lost me as a customer many years ago. It is not smart to built ... 

but overall, these new p-cars lack soul at every inch of their chassis

as your Alpine is much purer than this stuff, also compared to a 997

Such a uber cool Porsche

But these will all go to the 918 owners and I expect that if and when they hit the open market they will be well above $500K. Talking to one of my dealers this weekend they told me that they are marking up their standard GT3's by $75k as that is where the... 

The notable 996 GT2 in midnight blue. Although I pray for that to be a LONG wait so there is plenty of driving to share between him and I.
