How is a non gt4 that expensive? I don't pay attention to Porsche outside of the 911's, but most gt4 MSRP figures were in the 90's. Crazy

I wondered the same thing a while back but it's hard to find Porsche production numbers by country/region. Last I could figure, sales are off significantly in the US for 718 cars (911s too) but total global 718 sales are up slightly. Gotta imagine China and EU owners see a nice tax break from the smaller turbo engines...

The T and 718 GTS models will probably be the LA show centerpieces in November.

Not a popular opinion I'm sure but, I would love a simple, light weight (cheap) new 911. lol
put it in 964 body and bin the turbo. winner
