it's a .1 with ruff wheels, tire chains, a 4 spoke wheel, aero front bumper, fake turbo rear bumper and a taco. Arena red is nice I guess. Black calipers so it's a C2
Curious where the hell they even found that build to use for the movie. Maybe they're on Rennlist and just don't post. Ryan Reynold probably farted on that driver seat, price would absolutely skyrocket into the sun.

I think it is important to distinguish the European automobile market from the US market, and other countries as well which are characterized by open spaces and longer daily drives. Those markets will be slow to change over to electric cars and will provide a large market for petroleum based fuels well into the future, certainly within our life spans who post on this board. Also, related to this, the electric power industry will eventually need to add capacity to support a burgeoning electric car population, and that industry is notorious for long licensing and build out periods.Also this new capacity will itself depend largely on fossil fuels to produce electric power. Wide spread electric car population will also obviously need build up of the related support structure. I agree Tesla appears to be disruptive but at least in the US the actual effects of disruptive technologies are sometimes magnified or dampened by the political nature of needed investments.

Silver crest on the wheel or no?? That' the only salient question at this point

Yeah think you're right, looks pretty skinny. What an absolute shame to the 996. Can't even get a proper representation in 2 star movies.

The 996 did get proper but brief representation on a 4 star series

Good call! It also kicked off Gone In 60 Seconds, which is about how many seconds it takes a 996 to make it down the 1/4 mile.
