    So basically double GT3 and 100k over 911R or GT3RS.

    Over 600MM in revenue (with options) for very little effort in development.  Can’t blame them and of course it will be fun to drive kiss

    Re: 991 Speedster

    An opentop GT3 with a custon rear cover and little else is not worth 300k, not even close..., tulip mania anybody?

    GT2RS on Porsche Germany website is EURO $285K.

    So the Speedster will be priced above it?

    I thought it was meant to reflect first year of Speedster, rather than first year of Porsche...

    Nah, the production number is 1948.

    And no, that's the base MSRP, 

     

    EDIT: my bad. Price is including Heritage package AND German VAT.

    285k is bonkers. Porsche probably will make a 150k profit on such a car. There is so much you can buy for that price.

    Re: 991 Speedster

    we can't deny the logic - put the flipper price already in the base and off you go. still selling them like hot cakes - the fun will start when people pay 500k for it and Porsche will adapt for the next "big" thing.....Once you have the brand name u can go nuts....kudos to them !

    The price is nuts but Porsche is right, why let speculators make all the money? Don’t like the price? Don’t buy it.

    As much as I would like GT3 Cab, the fact that it will offered only with  MT disqualified it for me.. The $300,000 price tag is icing on the cake. indecision

    And US dealers will still hog most of the allocations and flip them anyways.

    No, I ma switching to Porsche Langley. Shady business dealings going on at Porsche Vancouver now.

    Trust me, it was a difficult decision to make, I have been dealing with them for almost 20 years. Their new people are just, shady. From service to used car. The parts people are still excellent and so are the mechanics, but that last group is second rated now that the top 918 guy in North America is at Porsche Langley.

    Re: 991 Speedster

    Two weeks ago i had my Macan s serviced at Langley for the first time as I used to trek from south Surrey to the Vancouver location. I was very impressed with the facility, the general attitude of the service manager and also one of their SAs as my wife and I took a look at the new Cayenne. Generally quite a low key and open attitude. Never had any problems in Vancouver and I know a few of the service technicians for the old MCL days. Are you just not a fan of the Dilawri group?
