"I know - lets have a competition to win a car!"

"Err...ok..."

"You haven't heard the best bit - the winner has to BUY the car! They'll be so dizzy from being called a 'winner', they won't realise what has happened!"

"Hahaha, brilliant."

^^This. What a load of tosh.

Ummm, powerkit? This isn't on the options, nor has it been mentioned anywhere yet AFAIK.

So it's 430 bhp, that would make it even more rapid than it already is! Any idea of cost of the powerkit?

[toppstuff]

This seems a rather lame PR move to me. I'm sure Porsche Club Owners did'nt ask for it. Still, no doubt the allocation will be sold pretty quickly.

Is the 991 selling very well? I have only seen a handful of them around.

Maserati's and Aston seem to outnumber new Pork around my way.

I've seen lots of them about in Cambridge, albeit my commute appears to be part of the Cambridge Porsche test drive loop.

I think that looks great, but I suspect it's a carry over from watching The Bridge. Would never thought I could harbour lust for a green 911 with chrome trim before watching that.

It's on the options as the new X51 + sports exhaust/chrono

Marcus Burnett: Hey man where-where-where's your cup holder?
Mike Lowrey: I don't have one.
Marcus Burnett: What the f- w'you mean you don't have one? Eighty thousand dollars for this car and you ain't got no damn cup holder?
Mike Lowrey: It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. It's a limited edition.
Marcus Burnett: You damn right it's limited. No cup holder, no back seat. Just a shiny dick with two chairs in it. I guess we the balls just draggin' the f**k along.

you can spec that colour and that powerkit, so how is this car different?

I wonder how many people are going to enter this raffle who can't actually afford £120k or will there be a vetting process?

bizarre imo.

Even better... enter the comp, win the raffle, sell the raffle ticket to some who can afford the car.

Though I imagine the raffle tickets probably cost the 142k and then the losers get their money back.

Totally agree !! Saga's olive green seventies 911 was a lovely thing. I totally want that car.

Was about to google those names.... then, shame on me, I remembered. Bad boys bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you.

[Cassius81]

Judging by the yellow calipers, looks like PCCBs are thrown in too (unless they've just been specc'd on that car, of course...)

Hate the wheels, but like the colour choice.

[cjb1]

I say, as a fully paid up PCGB member I reallycannot see what all the jolly fuss is about? what is a poor person anyway? never met one old chap, jolly hockey sticks, what ho......

Yeah, just saw that myself. But it's still not a option elsewhere, so this is the first we've seen of it.

430bhp from a n/a 3.8 litre straight six is damn impressive, that's only a few bhp short of the 997.2 GT3 3.8!

I don't know about that, Ferrari sell you a car for a million pounds that you don't actually own and they tell you where and when you can drive it. Porsche are still amateurs at this.

haha, I can imagine it now:

"sorry sir, you didn't win but whilst you've got £140k in our account would you like to take up the opportunity of buying the new £140k Porsche 911 RU (Runner Up) edition, which is being made exclusively for the 97~ unlucky participants of the raffle who were not fortunate enough to get their hands on the 991 CC"

[P4ROT]

That 993 is stunning...
