OT:911R

The biggest surprise is even the ones that seem to drive normally (7mph over the limit) will speed up and act all pissed off if I pass them, like I've wounded the pride of a guy driving a f#$@#king Prius. He should expect to get passed by any sportcar, particularly a GT3.
There is no one more phony than LA prius drivers.
(obviously Martin is excluded from those statements)

Changed for me. I was interested in 991R as a nice daily-driver pairing to go with RS. The limited edition talk killed that. Instead I plan to pick up a Shelby GT350.
And I'm not the least bit worried about the current froth in the GT350 market. I know exactly how it will play out.....http://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchr...Id=2102&rn=150

Re-ordered a GT4 again today. Waiting to hear delivery time and ED options. Summer would be good...
On the same page.
Also have some calls in for 350R, 350 seems possible to get, but I'll wait for the R.
Me thinks a GT4 with a 4.0 is more fun.

From: The way to hell is paved by good intentions “Wenn ich Purist höre...entsichere ich meinen Browning” "Myths are fuel for marketing (and nowadays for flippers too,,,)" time to time is not sufficient to be a saint, you must be also an Hero
At that MSRP would have been limited in any case

The information is all over the map regarding the 'R'. One article says that it's a 444hp detuned GT3 engine, etc. Then my SA says that pricing should be about $135k base, nicely optioned about 150-160k.
Fast forward to the latest info above, priced higher than an RS, more HP?
Bottom line, Geneva can't come fast enough.

Hard to believe it will cost more than current GT3RS?

So ~$215k here. Assuming that is accurate, if it has a monster motor and a lot of lightweight parts included in that price (PCCBs, Mg roof, CF panels, buckets, Li-ion battery), I could justify it. But if it has power somewhere south of the RS and the goodies are all extra, that is a big premium to pay for a stick...

Remember, low supply and high demand makes prices shoot up. The word is that there will be no more than 911units of the R, hence prices are up. In this case though seems like PAG wants a larger share of the profits.

it is MT
has the same (4.0) engine
some lightweight stuff
i guess at the end 150kg less the RS. 30kg will be the "LACK" of PDK - another maybe 30kg the missing cage and rear wing - so maybe "only" 90kg needed to get out of doorpanels, glas, electric,... rear wheel steering will be in? this i don´t know...
for me its more a surprise it do not cost more than 230k€.
because you have to charge that much that all 600pcs (or 911pcs) except 10pcs will be sold straight away. and for this i would guess the price would have to be within today around 300k€.

Got it. Thanks for the input jo_ker and Just in time.
Does anyone here in this forum been surveyed (918 owners) if you are "interested" in acquiring this 911R? I heard a "Survey" has been sent out to the 918 owners first?
