The spyder concept was in the same display as the new 935 during RRVI. Big mistake by Porsche marketing....

I'm struggling to find anything that is of good design with the spyder - the proportions are awkward at best and the garnishes such as the mirrors and center bonnet fuel filler just don't work. It's a shame that they couldn't deliver on such a unique and historical piece of their brand.

The side window literally follows the roofline shape, its slanted back. 981 Spyder uses 981 Boxster side windows

I think they will have a hard time selling close to 2000 of these cars.

‘I think you’re joking right .....the list is a mile long lots will be left in the cold. Assume 50% will come to the US that less than 1000 cars here.

And then extract the people from the list who have absolutely no intention of keeping the car and the dealers that are moving them to their partners. Hundreds of these cars will be for sale quite soon.

If there's a top, I agree. If it's just a tonneau cover, I'm not so sure. Porsche hasn't confirmed a top yet, or did I miss the memo?

They'll sell them like hot bread! Make 5000 and they'll still sell'em all.
It will have a top,I bet the farmhouse! These cars will be sold all over the World,not just California...you know,those regions where now it's sunny and 10 min later it rains...

Not only that.. I bet people on RL will be asking what ADM would be considered reasonable!

I'm trying to work out the price because if it's a lot then I couldn't even try and get one. Will it be positioned as a GT3 Cabrio and therefore 10k more than a GT3? Or will it be like a Carrera Classic and hence be 'value' based pricing (made up as high as they think they can get away with in other words)?

Or with RS engine and carbon fenders will it be simply 10k more than an RS and still a lot cheaper than a GT2? Thoughts?
