Oh, it's special. Look at the PCNA letter. Any Porsche special edition is a high value asset these days.

Well worth the $300,000 mark up over MSRP.

Just buy this one for $300k less. More than 1 manual car in North America after 2 minutes of looking.

A friend of mine sent me a build sheet his dealer had sent him for one of these aout 6 months ago. He thought this was going to be the next R. I laughed and asked him "how exactly is this any more special than a C2S with some graphics thrown on?". He said "but it's a special limited edition!" I just shook my head. Oh the power of marketing.

Graphics can always be added from a reputable shop. Sometimes I cant even justify paying such a huge mark up for PTS color

Especially in this country, where a lot of it is plain lies. And always somebody trying to make a quick buck.

Indeed. I wouldn't pay a penny over MSRP for it... if I liked it (I don't).

I think it is special: It is ugly from factory.

I'm not fond of every Porsche graphics, but this is one is completely wrong on such a regular car.
On the other hand, it could have been funny on a limited edition 991 GT3 RS. Not to my taste but funny anyway.

I just realized that when i ordered my 991.1 GTS that I have the only North American car with an Alcantara arm rest with the embossed logo and deviated stitching. This is huuuuge! Going straight to the dealership after work and getting my letter.
