For 918 VIP program, is it true that you have to purchase all the specialty cars with cash only? No financing available?

I need to submit my configuration but Im not sure how the green stripes look in reality.
The only thing I have seen is the one rear 3/4 on the PCNA website (posted above), plus they do show up in the Configurator (but not the side ones).

IF I get lucky enough to get an allocation, I would do green stripes and brown interior in a heartbeat.

The overall gearing is shorter than the ratios in the GT4, but because of the redline being either 800 rpm or 1,000 rpm higher (depending on whether it's really 8,600 or 8,800 rpm), the speed in gears is higher than GT4.

Like the Lightweight flywheel, a Low-geared option with Vmax of 175 mph or so would have been nice...

Who wants to trade a 911R/allocation for a signal green RS/allocation

The early cars have their moments. If you make it past the 30 second mark, you'll see one of those moments.



(But it's important to note that the moments are never on the straights.)
