not comparing stats actually my only point the new car is entry level, and Mclaren car division actually makes money ....it’s F1 that was draining the cash .....big boy sport. Look at the financials, and the pain is a new road car company less than 10 years old will having growing pains. Remember the SUV saved the 911 as they only had one model. If the price point is low on the new car it will take share from someone. As I said the car division makes money, it’s a scale business. Sorry I digress, I love Porsche but I drive or drove all the brands you list ........

I love the McLaren F1 but it seems the company is mismanaged...

Don't need to tell me. I've helped replace two of them

I’m not going to watch that 40 minute video. My experience has been flawless.

I’ve seen it his dealer is awful, and my 675LT zero problems and my dealer is great. I’m a car guy I drive all the brands, and not brain washed by just one of them while Porsche is my fav for sure. Funny I love experts on car experiences ......my Ranger Rover never goes to the shop vs my wife’s AMG 63. Sh&T breaks and we still love the car. Sorry back to Porsche talk not sure how this went off the rails.

When did this become the McLaren haters thread? Move along people...

Heard from a fairly decent source the 992 GT3 will start around $180k CAD base so easily over $200k CAD with options... more like $220-230k if you include PCCB, buckets, leather, FAL, etc. That is a solid price hike but if anything still looks like a good deal relative to USD pricing which is rumoured to start at $160k. Secondary market cars for those that can't get allocations will easily be pushing $250k for the first bit which is nuts.

margins must be crazy.

Agree its nuts.
There was a time when the GT3s and particularly the RSs were very rare, I think there were something like 600 996 RS and they never came here at the time. Now we have an accumulation of them over the various models, and doubtless the next generation will be built win great numbers ( as has been the trend). I am not in any way knocking the cars, ( will get a 992RS and keep what I have), but we are not talking about a 918 or the like with less than 1000 made. In principle I will not pay any premium and never have. If I don't get the car it is certainly not the end fo the world and I have zero need to be the first on the block or do some kind of PTS.

Honestly, I think what Porsche is doing if the pricing is correct it will pull out the flippers/they will take the margins. The GT cars were always the deal of the century, and not the demand is crazy raise the price while demand is burning. Will be interesting to watch how it all goes .........good for Porsche.

Years ago an analyst opined that the cost difference to Porsche between a Boxster and a 911 Turbo was about $5,000. Which makes perfect sense really...they're basically the same thing conceptually. Most of the cost is in testing and homologation anyway. A friend that works for another German OEM told me once that all the wheels they offer cost the same...about $10/each...do the math on the margins on GT cars and Turbos. There's a reason why they are the most profitable car company per unit.

Porsche margins are quite crazy, they do very well. Here is a breakdown on the 992 generation.
