Well, the 918 is actually derived from the RS Spyder so not a fair criticism in this example, but I take your point. EOD as I've said many times, 918 is customer sponsored R&D exercise to understand and prepare for the next gen sports car.
Hats off to Porsche if they can get customers to drop a mil on one.
Now if only they'd give us that glorious V8 as a standalone powertrain......

Here's what Ukrainians think of Porsche (and opulence in general)

That vid is hard to watch. On many levels. Sad.

Latest news?
So, what's latest on 991 GT3 engine issues? has the root cause been identified? Is this a design flaw requiring significant engine refurbishing? Like if it's the rod, I imagine all engines must be replaced!

I'm done waiting. I'm looking at a 458 that I'm debating purchasing. I've been pretty patient over the past year and even scheduled travel around the delivery of this car...that was originally supposed to get in during November...that ended up being a February "delivery" that can't be picked up, while being fully paid for in cash that "may" need major engine work before it is released to me and next to no information about what's going on from the factory. Congrats Porsche, you've managed to **** off the most devoted of Porsche consumers...and as soon as I find the perfect replacement italia (call me Mussolini or Stalin...) I'm jumping ship unless major announcements are made in a couple days.

They had been investigating before the stop sale. So it could be closer to three weeks. They did warn in their letter that this could take some time. But with Porsche engineering skills I am surprised it is taking this long. The problem must be serious and complex. The longer it takes the more I fear the worst.
