IF they build it, a big IF in my opinion and the shortages continue; these cars will sell over $200k. I would expect at least an ADM of $50,000 or more.
Multiple, mostly variations of 911s. Speedster, GT3s, etc..
Kind of what I figured, most 911 owners don't like the idea of the mid-engine platform getting too close to their baby, like Matt Farah says 'The Cayman Complex'...

That's not it. Cars are hard to come by. Most showrooms are empty and by the reports I read this trend will on for another year and half. Taycans are sold out for the next six months. One dealer was told that if they wanted an additional dozen or so 911 cars from the factory (this was a special deal), the dealership would have to pay msrp for the cars. Some Toyota trucks have been selling for $20,000 over. With all this, the dealers will ask $50,000 or so for a RS.

Oh I know that new cars are hard come by, heck even real nice used cars are commanding crazy dollars, my SA said if I wanted to offer up my Spyder I could do very well, but then I would be driving, what, my pick-up!? The possible/rumored date of Spyder RS sales is nearly 2 years out still, perhaps enough time for the semiconductor shortage to sort itself out, fingers crossed for everybody on that front.
IMHO you would have to be crazy to pay $20,000 over MSRP for a Toyota pickup or $50,000 for a RS, if your scenario surrounding the 911's is real then it only exists because impatient (or wealthy) people support the ADM situation.
CA is NVTS with their ADM on every mark. And NO, I call BS on PCNA telling a dealer that they would have to pay MSRP for additional allocations. Fake news galore.

No it is not, but this was a very unique situation.
Not to derail this, I believe prices will go up across the board. We are having 5% inflation, which might go up if the government increases its spending. And with everything else going on, I don’t see things going back to normal for awhile.
I think the best approach is a throwback, analogue Spyder RS:
- Manual transmission with shorter gear ratios
- NA Engine that revs to ~8,500 rpm
- Hydraulic steering
- Weight savings (lithium ion battery; fully forged wheels; carbon fiber trunk and frunk lids; delete satellite radio, headlight washers, sound symposer, optional radio delete...)
Since that equates to near-GT3 performance, I would be willing to pay near-GT3 price.
