the GT2 RS, is over $200k and thats basically an old 911 Turbo with some parts taken off

(make no mistake, I think it is one of the coolest/best looking Porsches since the 993 Turbo S, and I love it)

GreenPlease · 06-18-2010, 12:20 PM

I'd go with $450,000

Tough choice money wise if Lexus brings it.

Not to upset the Lexus fans but it looks like a kid designed it compared to the 918.

Some Porsche exec already mentioned that it would be considerably more expensive than the C-GT which was in the ballpark of $ 450k. So, I wouldn't be surprised if it was around $ 600k.

Interesting concept. Better engineering then Telsa's direction, I assume(?)

p.s., I personally have a very hard time getting excited over cars I will never be able to afford to buy in the first place. Kind of like looking at the super nice homes in real estate ads that are way beyond my reach.....

gonzo · 06-18-2010, 02:41 PM

I thought around 400 is what I read awhile back/pre-mark up.

Now that I read 600 I guess I might need to call about my order spot or at least just get one now.

Plain old Boxster Spyder would/maybe will do me just hunkydory.

FStop7 · 06-18-2010, 03:54 PM

Hell yes, that is an amazing looking car.

positiveions · 06-21-2010, 09:19 AM

I don't like it. I think it is ugly.

BrokenVert · 06-21-2010, 09:39 AM

Just looks like a slightly more badass boxster spyder to me...ohh yay it's electric...I'll booggy my way into a C-gt if I was to spend that much on a porsche

zonda cinque looks so much better than this or ferrari gto will sound way better. this looks a bit like roid up boxter.

but i like it.

kaykay · 06-26-2010, 02:59 AM

Ummm, marketing?

Porsche make great cars, without a doubt, but just like this 918 and the LF-A there are dozens upon dozens of other cars I'd rather have which are better in most areas anyway and you'd still have enough left over to buy a brand new Vacheron Constantin...

$500k+ vehicles are purely for people that have way too much money to throw away.

keanu1 · 06-26-2010, 03:59 AM

with this price i think it becomes ugly!! lol
