Default 918 RSR all alone.....LOTS OF PICS!

So as my Father and I were driving up to the Porsche Driver's Experience, I saw the usual cars people were getting ready to test drive, Panamera's, Cayenne's, Cayman's, and Boxster's. As we were driving over towards the guest parking I saw this car in the distance with an orange stripe. Could it possibly be what I think it is? I was just thinking the other day I hope Porsche brings the 918 out to Rennsport to put on display. Although good luck getting any good photo's with the crowrds around it! Indeed the 918 RSR was just sitting here all alone........and to top off all that, they even let me sit my fat **** in it! It was a tight fit but I was in heaven!

What a rare opportunity to see the car without crowds of people and even got to sneak in a few shots of the old timer.

Porsche really did a great job with the Porsche Driving Experience. Inside they had racing simulator's using the Sport Bucket carbon seats with mini Alcantara steering wheels, had a full design service for spec'ing out new orders, cappucinno bar, it was really a great experience and some of the best marketing I have seen. Enough talking... here are the pics!

Though I still think it looks the bees' knees...the price tag is still outrageous.

Stunning pics!

The shot of the rear... simply awesome.

I Flash Back to the Future every time I see shots of the interior. Porsche's Flux Capacitor.

awesome looking car! the cocoa interior looks funky in a race car imo...

I agree with the previous post saying it's a little too expensive.

gimmie this car with this exact interior/exterior color combo.

smack the RS spyder engine in it and price the street model @ $250k and the full cage racer for $300k

maybe even a "clubsport" model for the street car

2700 pounds for street car and 2300 pounds for racer.

im dreaming......

back to work!
