I wonder why it costs so much more to paint a 918 key as compared to a cayenne key

I guess if you can afford the spyder the options are merely pocket change.

Kosmo is Ed's hat a one size fits all? I know a few more who are into fashion and I would like to make certain they are up to date with the latest. I'm assuming the hat comes in various shades of brown?

well the bad news is that its not a hat. Its a secretion that spews from his head.

Those ridicules options just shows you how this car is so overblown in price.Nothing like getting ripped off.
I'll take the P1 anyday.

I find the 918 to be overpriced but the P1 a good value.
