Carlos from Spain:

The R fills a great spot that has nothing to do with the GTS's spot, and it's absolutely fantastic that a maker will make such a car in modern times, were the sheer sensory driving experience is placed ahead of minimal track lap times differences and paper figures. As a sportscar fan I was so happy to see my favorite manufacturer make such a car as it shows that they haven't lost that spirit, and not become another emotionless sportscar manufacturer only worried about  exterior image or paper figures. Where Porsche made the mistake is in making it a limited production and playing that game with it.

I disagree a little bit: Porsche should have used the 911 R tech/specs for their GTS models.

Since we all know that Porsche is also about high profit and high gain margins, at least they could have made the 911 R a "regular" model in their model line, without any limitation in production, this is something I agree with you on.

Well, I am waiting for Porsche's 960 now...if they disappoint again, I'm out. Smiley
