Dig those retro Fuchs! Looks good. Standard tail lights look better. Name is to long. More of what a 911 Carrera should look like. Really wonder what the US price will be??? If it's too close to the GT3 then I wouldn't get the point of it. I don't think it will be special enough to bubble wrap...

Not coming to North America, afaik. Price would be around $175k (over double the price of a C2S in other markets) if it came. Totally absurb on the numbers...

The special and attractive thing about this car is that it is a non-GT car, but one that is also collectable at the same time. In some ways it is more special than a GT3, because that has been with us for a long time now and then this comes along. Something different, but based in the grassroots 911.

The rear end looks magnificent, reminds me of the R lightweights someways. The front treatment is a little overdone to my eyes. Overall, a thumbs-up from me. Really beats the prior "special" versions such as the 40th Anniversary...

However, the price is really extremely optimistic given the performance and status of the Mk 2 RS. It would have to be some fan of the regular range cars to forgo an RS for this at a higher price.

That´s why there are only 250 made first time around. To feel for what the market can take.

Maybe we will also see the Clubsport Cayman after this was made.
