PCNA chose the extremely lucky recipients. This customers VIP status should be removed.

You guys need to immerse yourselves in the history of these cars. Buy an early 911 or even a 356 so you can understand the full meaning behind the legend. I love the new stuff but there's nothing like meeting the grandparents!
u got a nice 356!
but like the video said, some of us cannot operate stick shift
and porsheeee are hard to find.

Great idea. Porsche take note!!!! I think that they don't care very much that the 918 owners are making the extra money on the allocations they got as long as they sold all of the 918's at the time. They had to know this was going to happen.

Yes but then don't pretend you care...

So, after a few RS and R flips, you get to drive your 918 for free. Nice.

Now the challange would be geting your hand on the next equivalent 918 car by Porsche.

As you said, you would be driving a 918 that really cost 300-400k after flipping all the possible special editions between the 918 and the next Halo car. Not a bad deal at all.

Yep I guarantee you the next release "Super/Hyper Car" in 2025 will get sold out quickly. Having said that they may not introduce a subsequent VIP Program on the next iteration of the "Super/Hyper Car."

Drive safe,

And it has been done already, the 918 customer has been booted from the VIP program. He will not be the only one getting booted because of the R.

maybe i see him in hell.
I won't divert this thread from the 911R but Penske's Ferrari store in Scottsdale is just as bad.

I saw a silver 911R with no stripes in the showroom yesterday. Didn't look particularly striking in that form. Sales manager told me people routinely walk by the car without even noticing it. Of course, that says nothing about what it's like to drive.

I also had a chance to drive a base 991.2 Carrera with manual. Nice car, but nowhere near the scintillating experience of driving a 991 GT3 or a GT4. So I retract my previous speculation that a base 991.2 might be a plausible and much less expensive substitute for a 911R.

How soon before 'R' stripes show up on every 991 around?
