I do not really get these specials, but evidently there is a market for interesting cosmetics at a huge premium. As the above article notes there will be four different editions.

No thank-you. That's a lot for a bunch of stickers and it's really not great to look at...a bit garish imho.

Porsche seems to be offering more "Limited Edition/Numbers" models.
Perhaps I'm wrong but I seem to recall reading somewhere a while back that Porsche was going to do this very thing to create high values on some models.

Easy way of increasing margins with minimal R+D cost
'look a Porsche with some garish vinyl stickers'
'No sir, that's a limited edition, one of only 1500 made and very reasonably priced......'

There will be buyers because it is limited.

Great for red lovers.

Calll it the Iron Man Special.

The price ($205,900 before options) is a bit of a shocker; perhaps Porsche is trying to get a bigger share of the markup that some limited editions get in the secondary market. I love the colour, but the stickers are a bit over the top.

The commercial is better than the product itself.

It's beautiful and ugly rolled into one.
The sugar daddy commercial caught me off guard.

Well at least it made sense... no way a girl like her would spend her own money on a car like that. *drops mic*

I think it looks OK except for the number sticker on the side. I hope it includes more then stickers and paint for 50k over a regular targa 4S. For 25k more you can have the new Turbo S!
