It's so sad that VW has turned Porsche into a brand of endless LEs...very disappointing.

The black is nice with the different wheels.
Full of badges and faux carbon which kinda sucks.
Not worth the 60k price over standard turbo S.
this run kinda reminds me of the 997 turbo S 918 spyder edition. The car that everybody forgot about.
Id say for $30k over standard you would talk me into it.... but at 500 units, i wouldnt even make the cut anyhow.

First they say they are cracking down on flippers, then they release another limited edition for 918 owners only. Seems a bit schizophrenic to me.

I read the brochure. I wonder if the writer needed to take a long shower and wash out their brain with soap after finishing it.
After reading it, I feel dirty. But not in a good way. Instead, in a cocaine dust-covered STD-infected way.
This-^
Structural CF that makes a functional component stronger, lighter and/or stiffer is great. CF veneer - which is what all these pieces are - just shows the world that you light $100 bills on fire because you can. And, these CF veneer-covered trim bits are much-less durable than their leather-covered or plastic counterparts. They are prone to yellowing and delamination.
And the side skirts in carbon? Seriously? As soon you drive more than 3 miles-per-hour on a real-world road those are going to get chips in the clear coat.
None of that matters though. These are "collector items" and will not get driven. Porsche could use cardboard for piston rods and no one would notice.
