It's 368 kW which is 500 hp, discussed elsewhere.

I like it, but my dealer says that all of them are sold.

Yes. But someone else already pointed out this error in mirroring other web sites. We know what they meant and they will fix it. 500HP of naturally aspirated flat six zuffenhausen symphony. It rocks!

Preaching to the choir. The original 911R was an ultra-light twin-plug wheelie-pulling screamer. Since then though we've become so pussified we not only bend over and take it from the regulators, we actually pat ourselves on the back and compete to see who can be the biggest *****. Of course its an impressive car. But minimalist? As if.

Still, its hard to watch and listen and not get excited.

It's just money. I'd buy one at MSRP if I could or just wait a bit. It's not a problem.
