First of all, 911R is not "rare".. and even if it were, he's one of the few who is actually using it as Porsche engineers intended... up to and past its limit.. not staring at it in a garage.
As long as the world keeps buying sunglasses, which they will, He should have enough $$$$ to cover the tires and buy a whole tire company if he wants to LOL.
Forget the finances, it's all relative.. focus on his skill. catch the video of him drifting his 1960's gullwing 300SL up a mountain pass.. really cool stuff, evocative of old Mille Miglia movies.

His Instagram is almost on par with Chris Harris in terms of driving.. at times even better.. Harris never drifted a LaFerrari around the Nurburgring at insane speeds.

Funniest quote of his" I am lucky that mileage is counted with the front wheels".. LOL! Sense of humor is pretty spot on

I never gave it any thought what those cars are worth or how many there are.. irrelevant.

He paid MSRP for his car and if he did not who cares. Why should he give s heck if he has the money and a vast collection of beautiful cars. If you had a vast collection if beautiful cars and you can have this as a Beater at $220,000 that is what I would do. I would beat this to death at that price point

I don't get your guys at times.
First you complaint about someone buying a car then store it and not use it
Then complaint about someone using their car and not storing it.
Make up your mind. Should someone use the car, no matter how limited or rare it is, or should they just shut up and store the car without driving it?
So, will I be getting any flakes from you guys abut driving my 918 in the snow and ice?
One more thing, I am taking delivery of my R in Europe in February and have Porsche put on winter tires and do a road trip with some buddies.
Should I get flakes for driving an R in the winter snow too?

He did it because he can and it's fun. I do the same thing with the Cayenne in the snow (ESC off) when there are no other cars around.

The Cayenne's are indeed AWD, but with the ESC off you can do some drifting. Not serious RWD drifts, but they will go sideways. I am not sure what the Rear to Front torque bias is on a Cayenne, but to me it feels more like a RWD with the fronts coming on with added power. My V60, which is also AWD, feel more like a FWD and the rears coming on with added power. The V60 does not really drift as well as the Cayenne. But I am just a Junior drifter

Who's complaining? I'm Merely asking for the logic?
Why do folks view someone looking to understand as complaining?????
I would even say I find it disheartening that so many are quick to be judgemental. Aren't open dialogues encouraged? Or should I just watch the video and clap with everyone else?
Sincerely confused here. Maybe it's me...?

Porsche especially GT and R ones are made to be hard driven.
This guy, no matter what he owns or paid, uses his GT3 and more other supercars very very well on the Nordschleife.
I think pretty nobody here, is faster than him. It must be counted on one hand.
Here, he is only have fun, as if a normal driver would do donuts on a parking, but he does it with a much higher level, that's all.
Personnally i have respect for people who use their cars for what it is built and engineered.
