I'd like to take your post seriously but a few things stick out like a sore thumb:

1. MY2011? The production year starts at the end of April no?
2. If the GT2RS is anything to go by, a lot of the stuff on the option list will come standard. PCCBs, clear tailights, chrono, PCM come to mind.

With so many people having wasted so many brain cells on this topic I'd wait till the 28th for the real deal. Then again, even the date is hearsay...

A picture is worth a thousand words. Supposedly there are some to follow fairly soon (before April 27th).

It's clearly Euro.

150,000 Euro is $216,653. that is without VAT.

Current GT3 RS base price is 150,000 with VAT i believe.

If you extrapolate the price in Europe to US prices which is not a conversion, this new car should be 20% more expensive than a GT3RS or about $163K without options. I really hope the rumor of the riveted fenders is correct.

That will minimize podium images with Fiat cars

Not discrediting the author of the post, just pointing out the inconsistencies.
