Basically the 100k up charge over a touring, RS fenders and bubbled roof and 20HP = collector not driver. Heck since Porsche when Public it’s all about share holder value it’s a business boys love it our hate it. Appears the 992 series has launched more special cars than any other series ……….don’t blame them for taking the flip dollars out.

The percentage of 911/718 production allocated to tts/heritage/limited/gt/rs cars is absurd, yes. The public company goal is to sell more cars over 200k euros.
Another way to look at it is Porsche is cranking out more great cars than ever before and really delivering to customers what they want. I don’t personally like the sticker package cars, but I’d be happy to buy each and every gt, rs, st, sc, Dakar, tts, etc car they make. They are all fantastic and interesting, mechanically and aesthetically. It’s not like they are selling gt edition 4 banger Macans
The s/t is mega cool. I would love to get a shot at one. I am curious about lack of RWS influence in driving dynamics because I think it’s one of the elements that makes my gt3 feel so much lighter on its feet vs the gt4rs

Of course it is, anything that is numbered is going to froth up all the car investors. I predict that more than half of these car will become garage art collecting dust and a good number will be flipped for big bucks. I predict the ADM will be $200k+ so around $500k for a properly spec'ed car.

And what don't you agree with my prediction? If I'm wrong, I'll admit that I'm wrong.

EDIT: Website looks like only 0.2s faster than GT3 with manual in 0-100kph (62 mph). That's not more than you'd expect with 15hp and 35kg advantage. So, not sure about gearing. Also, I can see now from video that it has GT3 size tires, not RS...

Is this not simply the nature of the beast for just about any/all luxury goods? Some will get driven, some wont. Some will go at MSRP, some will go to flippers or to folks willing to pay big $$. I don't think it's worth copy + pasting frustrations from one hard to get car to the next, and those that come after. Simply the world we're living in.

It's not worth $200k more than my Touring. I might be a buyer at MSRP (I'm not a big enough whale at my dealer to get one at MSRP) but no way am I interested in the car around $500k but I'm sure many will be.

Trying to understand the speculators' market is beyond my pay grade...

Porsche has done a fantastic job of putting out 27 variations of the same platform.
And it seems to be working for not only enthusiasts, but shareholders.
I dont have a problem with that because I dont know of any auto manufacture that is a "non-profit" company.
And if people want to do nothing but collect them and put them in their garage forever, so be it.
It's their money.
Love everything about the ST.
The flared door panels, the bubble roof, the hood, bacon strip, badging, etc.
But agree with others that they missed an opportunity with the ducktail.
I can imagine "it" came up in the design study. Wonder why it didnt
make it.
