Trackdays at £320 per tyre and you'll get blown away by the guy in a £5k Bike engined Seven.
The new MX-5 is a much better car and one that you'll be able to drive without worrying about running costs or potential depreciation.
Surely the fact that people are mention 'vital options' means the car is a farce for 'Not as successful as their mates with the GT3' City boys or IT managers who think they can drive.

The speculators have all gone Porsche mad. With RHD 997 GT3RS4.0 hitting £400k now everyone thinks they'll be getting paid to rag a GT4 for a few thousand miles. This GT car frenzy is getting out of hand and we will see some very crazy borrowed money being thrown recklessly about until it all goes pop in a very big way. Look at the classifieds - they are full of GT3RS4.0, all the original owners cashing in and who can blame them? This looks to me like a great time to sell and a potentially ruinous time to buy. Beware of the hype phers! It's just a car, nothing to bet your life savings on. And it's worth having a look at how much fun (and performance) you can buy second hand for £15k once in a while.
Damn you Porsche I have had a £65-£70 budget for a Gallardo or F430 and been looking for a while.
Been maxxed out at work today so missed this announcement (not a Porsche fan normally) but love the look of this and only really want a weekend toy as have a new Golf R for sensible stuff.
If they have any slots left I will be calling Exeter Porsche tmrw and putting my deposit down!
Just trying to figure out what options I would have given my max £70k budget.

Fantastic car to drive I'm sure. It's also the Porsche idea of a 'bargain', as it's nearly £20K cheaper than a 911 Carrera S, and just as good. Everybody kept saying Porsche were holding the Cayman and Boxster back, but now they've taken a by selling a Cayman that's arguably better than, and certainly faster than, a base 911.

Honestly I think it makes perfect sense for GT Porsches to increase in value immediately after leaving the factory.If you're both super-rich and a petrolhead, then a GT3 (RS or not) is certainly very high on your list of cars to own. And you'll be willing to pay A LOT for one.
Cayman GT4? Wise investment, I reckon.

RIP Cayman GTS thread...
It might even kill the "new" Evora even before that car is launched...A lot of good things about the gt4 but I'm just not as excited about it as some others I'm afraid. Still looking forward to the reviews. When are the press cars out?
For everyday use, is it still the GTS? I got one last week, to replace my 4C (not an everyday car - gearbox, ride, poor seats). After having a Gen 1 and 2 Cayman the GTS is such a step forward. Handling so sweet, ride even with 20mm option drop is still comfortable, performance all you will ever need on the UK roads. How many of us could afford to track a GT4 and that's the only place you will see it's performance above the GTS.
That said, I still want one. And it's the one that makes the financial sense; it will never depreciate!

It would if they made more than a handful of them, any word on how many they will make?
Apparently it might just be sold out. Very limited numbers, good for Lotus I guess, and for the lucky buyers who were quick enough to put their names down for one.mal999 said:

All GT3s used to depreciate until recently, even RS's. The GT4 is not a limited production car so Porsche will churn them out in large numbers to satisfy the obvious demand. Massive under supply in 2015 might see some premiums changing hands. But just watch them fly out of the factories in 2016. Once the bubble bursts it will depreciate, you can be sure of that.That said, I still want one. And it's the one that makes the financial sense; it will never depreciate!
