Porsche to build "only" around 1,250 Carrera GT
very expensive cars have to be collecter's items and therefore be very limited -- like the merc AMG CLK DTM, the enzo or the maser MC12 which are all sold out.

today's "auto motor und sport" reports that PAG decided to stop Carrera GT production at 1,250 units (instead of the initally proclaimed 1,500) because of the difficult market situation. according to the article, rolls royce and merc (SLR, maybach) are facing similar problems reaching their estimated sales targets.

If you're a client, ALL Porsche cars are outrageously overpriced .... if you're a shareholder, they are just adequately priced ....
Keep in mind, their operating margin is around 17%. Porsche is making around Euro 15,000 pre-tax profit per unit sold !!! A way to look at it, is to say that Porsche is ripping you off by Euro 15,000 on average when you buy a car from them !!!

I could not have said it any better! If you factor in the horrible depreciation of Porsche's in the US, the rip off is biblical. It is one thing to make a very good car but another to build in a profit margin which rapes the buyer.

Taken that new red Ferrari of yours thru lenisn car wash too many times??
Porsche pricing a ripoff of Biblical proportions?The Romans had a better tax rate and consumer pricing index than we do currently. So get your rip off eras right.
Nick, since you object to Porsches profit margin, do you also object to ridiculous salaries and fees? What about
trustfund people? what about license sale revenues for dead artists going to their living relatives? what about people
with so much cumulative family wealth that even after all taxes paid can dither in luxury between la Jolla, Aspen and Manahattan and points east.
What say you Cali Commissar??
To be consistent, you have to be consistent as Yogi Berra would say.
If you were any decent sort of Red you would seek to reduce Porsche to a state enterprise that builds vehicles for the internal security forces and the elite of the Orange County
Politburo.Don't bother to moan about how much they charge those with ample checkbooks and desire in their eyes.

If and When Porsche does sell 1250 CGT's It will be some type of sales record for exotic super class cars.
Ferrari had no trouble selling ~1350 F40s.
