FYI, the Euro/USD exchange rate is $1.45 today.

Pricing without options from the Dutch website:
I don't know if I'm reading it right, but why is the sport classic the most expensive???

don't ask why, it is supposed to have some collector value, from what I've read, all 250 were sold.

It is a bargain here compare with every where else. I can't imagine forking out $200K for a GT3 then can't find a decent track in the country to drive it. It's easy in California or Germany but not so in Taiwan and some other country.

I will be **** if this was the only race track around

Taiwan TIS race track:

"this is a special race track in taiwan.small but fun and exciting.
it is old track but have lots memory for people who's in taiwan.
taiwan is smalll place. so its hard to find a space to build a high level race track.

im not good for 2d or 3d. this is the first time try to build a track which is special in my country.and i hope this can help people to find back more feedback when they drive there own car in here before.

small simple and crude. but need very good skill to get lap time in this small place.

we already done synchronism check with real Lap Record video.and we put more element in what we build.when u drive in here.u will need very focus and real drive skill. than u may have chance to do the same lap time with real."

it's taxes baby, taxes. all that free medical care and cooledge edumacation isn't free.

our employees in denmark pay something like a 200% tax on an automobile. here in washington state, there was a revolt to get license plate fees back down to $35. sheesh.

It's called SOCIALISM and it is steadily creeping into our
beautiful country more and more every day.

If ALL elections (National, State, local) were held on April 16
instead of November, I am convinced that the outcome of our
elections would be drastically different.

That's exactly right, we have taxes too. Here in New Mexico I had to pay 3% on my GT3; that is an outrage! Damn socialists!!!

And 1.35% of the cost/value (plus license fee) for registration -- $2K a year for tags!

Holy vikings! When are you going to pack your spares and sack a village to help pay for a GT3? Who in the world buy a GT3 or RS outside of US if you don't make more than 1/2 million a year?

Well but they can get the clubsport package in Europe Right...We must say something good about living in Europe.
For me it would be: making and shipping these awesome machines at an affordable price to the luckey ones in NA.Who does not love Socialism

Would seem that on the Danes are - on average - quite content with there...ahh happiness notwithstanding (shock, horror) the tax situation.

from the Capitalist Tool:

http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/05/wor...-happiest.html

"While the global economic crisis has taken a toll on every nation, the countries that scored at the top still boast some of the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Denmark, which got the highest score, is not only a wealthy country, it's also highly productive, with a 2009 GDP per capita of $68,000, according to the International Monetary Fund. The United States' GDP per capita, by contrast, is $47,335. Though the U.S. got an above-average score of 74, it did not break the top 10."

Here in Singapore, a 2010 GT3 is about US$366,000 w/o options with today exchange rate. With PCCB, front axle lift, PCM, Chrono, dynamic mounts, adaptive seats and metallic paint work out to be $425,899. PCCB alone is $22,300. I just ordered mine and have to wait 7 months to have my hands on it.


Quick Reply: $220K for a 2010 GT3 ... anyone?
