Ouch, over $110K, but nice power. So you can order a very special car from Porsche.

Sorry, I didn't take any pics except for the $2,800 rear wing.

This really shows that smart and rich don't necessarily go together.

Of course, if you took that to it's logical conclusion, we'd all drive 3 yr old 4 cylinder camrys.......

The Hedgefunder Special... Dreadful, ricer/NASCAR wing.

Note how much the dealer installed: $19k+ .. I hope they got paid in advance. Lest they hear; "Aaaah?! - I don't like it."

It appears from your photo that someone actually bought it.

Is the 'power package' an offered option for a Boxster, like the X51 for the 997?

It would be cool if Porsche would specially configure a one off on the asking - A Turbo with a Targa roof would be very sweet.

gotta love the multiple Porsche crests on the rear. I wonder how many are on the front? Any on the doors?

at least he will have the $75 umbrella if it starts to rain. Wonder how much the dealer charged for "installation".

if you read the fine print on the options list, at least the dealer threw in a complimentary jar of vaseline....

I shudder to think what the $132 worth of "Miscellaneous Interior Accessories" is.

It might be the gullibility tax.
