My first impression and further impression after looking at the photos is it is silly. I had the same reaction to Project Gold.

Probably more than that ...by next week.

Given the number of 918 VIPs, how do they dole these out?

Looks cool.

Just what nobody needed, another limited production boutique track toy to sell to some hyper rich collectors for an offensive amount of money just to make a few headlines. Hooray.
Wake me up when they make something cool that normal people can at least have a prayer of owning.

Wife and I were lucky today and met George Dyer in front of his 934 1/2 at Canepa.

Love it like most modern retro styling but it's nothing I could ever afford. Even if one could afford it I'm sure it will be nearly impossible to get.

In any event I think it looks awesome!

Super cool car. I'm sure it will be very collect able and would be awesome to race in GT1 pca or HSR events. We have two guys on the list. They were told allocations are not guaranteed and are based on previous Porsche history.

While it's out of reach for most people, the marketing tactic worked (we're talking about it) and they'll make a nice profit off of the 77 they produce.
I think it's cool that Porsche builds these types of cars and I really like the retro/modern styling.

Most manufactures turn to SEMA winners for this quality of after-market appearance. But Porsche is making these their own. The only sad thing is that most will be stored in collections and never actually used for what they were built for.

I like the fact that it looks all business. $800k is not a bad price for a car like that but only the first 77 people will be able to buy it at that price before it goes through the roof.

I think Porsche would have been crazy not to jump on the track edition car bandwagon. It's a hot market. As for the look of the car, I think it's fugly and beautiful at the same time. Would love to drive it around the Glen for a couple of hours for sure.
