This is an original Lilac Purple, numbers matching 911T.
When I found this car it was painted white and converted to 73RS specs including 2.4 bumped to 2.7L.
I have since widened the front and rear fenders,added 8s and 9s fuchs and 110L fuel tank. (front fenders are legit ST and the wheels are legit 8s and 9s.)
Plan is to paint it back to its correct Lilac Royal Purple, develop the chassis and make the 2.7L a twin plug. (currently on webbers, but considering a fuel injection system).
Im driving it jelly bean configuration as i develop it before i paint it.
I am building it as a hot rod/driver.

I believe we can safely assume the ST will be a limited edition car with a production run in between the 991 R and the 991 Speedster numbers 500-2000 (maybe 1971?).
What would be the pricing strategy? I assume similar to the Speedster and the SC.
The SC in my country is about 100k USD more expensive than a Turbo and about 60% more expensive than a GT3 ...
This sort of pricing is somewhat reducing the "ADM" the market is capable of passing on.
In fact there are still a few Speedsters NEW with a price request marginally (10% or less) above the original list price, whereas for the R the markups where much bigger (50% plus).
Probably Porsche has been able to nail a pricing that will limit the demand to the "real" customers and reduce the incentive for the speculators: 10% is not that much attractive.
You still need to be a very good customer in order to be given the opportunity to order a new car and configure it, but on the "second hand zero km" market the pricing could be not that much higher.
This is a car I could try to get in order to substitute my 991 Touring, and a resonable mark-up may be a worthy price to pay.
For the time being my Touring feels still the best choice for a mixed road-track use and driver involvement.
Location: 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
ST stands for Stiffer Touring
+front aero (useless on the road)
a Weissech package to sky rocket even further the already higher price
give me a 4 seats GTS wirh a GT3 engine
and i would sell my Touring
I always admire when people know what they want rather than want something because it's a popular thing to like.
Stiffer Touring does not make much sense to me, though - RS is stiff to accommodate the downforce, and it probably would have been faster on many bumpy tracks with softer springs, but that would require higher ride hight to allow for the downforce. ST does not seem to have much downforce, so it does not need to be stiffer. A no-compromise driving experience car for the road rather than track could be amazing (like the R but better).
