Thanks for posting.

With a $275,450 MSRP, add the Heritage package, lift, full leather, upgraded stereo, light design pkg, PDLS LEDs, and other bits, it is probably close to $315k.

That is a big nut. Worth it, probably. Collectible, yes. Best of everything, no. Porsche purists, love it. Want one, not so sure...

Is "Blip" just a different word for "Sport" mode (rev matching) in the 991.2 GT3 with MT?

I just saw that new button and was wondering the same thing. Given that's all it does in the Touring I'd guess yes.

its nice in concept and as a collector car because value will go up but to buy for 300k and just drive? uh uh. just get a boxster spider and a gt3 instead.

Much rather have a Performante Spyder. It just does not look special enough for close to $300,000.

They will sell all of them for certain and will be a nice Collector car.

Please, tell the car is over-expensive but do not talk about Lambo or Mclaren or anything else !

R - Touring - Speedster are cars for car romantics, not for Youtubers high on cocaine !
Love LeMans, love McQueen, love simple design, love history and tradition, love « savoir-faire ».

Huracan performante is cool and attractive but it is not the same philosophy.

Totally agree.

It is expensive for what it is, but for the same money, I have never consider crossing shopping Lambo or McLaren or Ferrari.

One day when Porsche stop offering manual and NA engine, I will kick myself everyday for not getting one when I can, but will never ever for the above other brands.

Savoir-faire not first descriptor I reach for when describing the esthetic any Speedster other than the original.

“Savoir-faire” for Porsche in general.
When seat in a Porsche, i am always happy with what i get. They know how to marketing, how to race, how to tease and how to build it.
