918 owners (not just US) were invited (to pay...) for a trip to Geneva for a few days which includes a preview. Not specifically of an R, but of a 'new model'. I don't think anyone's expecting to be going to see the Panamera update though!

Don't know numbers, but my guess is that if you bought a 918 new, and still have it, you will get one, that would probabky tie in with numbers being discussed.

I very much doubt they'll be have the price of a 918. At that, I don't think they'd sell. I'd certainly pass on it, if offered.

I've been giving this a bit of thought (not much , but a little) and I guess in its simplest form it's just good business - it's bloody clever :

1. If you want a piece of the action sir you'll need to prove your worth by buying lots of cooking models - "there are no guarantees but this is up to you sir if you ever want keys to the club "

2. "Forget the blah (insert GT3 , 4 , RS ,R as appropriate) these are long gone - however , for so much less (due to overs) you can buy a blah (insert C2S , etc as appropriate) and in truth sir , bar the spoiler it's virtually identical and as such £K X means it's an absolute bargain "

Got to love them

As I say , genius smile

-white or silver (no PTS even if you're god himself)
-red or green center stripe
-black or saddle brown interior
-carbon panels.
-massive weight reduction efforts
-underbody aero
-4.0
That pretty much sounds the business (although I want to really see what "massive weight reduction" means in reality). As it is manual only (at least that was what I understood) this could well be the 991 I have been waiting for all along. Let's see what my purchase option (it's with an OPC on the continent, so I am less worried than if it had been in the UK) will be worth once all details are known

The only numbers I know (and trust) is that the price will be about half of that what a 918 Spyder cost and not every 918 Spyder owner will be able to get one.

.
that's one expensive car, no way it will be £350k !!

more like £170k if it is all Carbon so 1/2 of your trusted value imo.

The Sport Classic in 2011 was little more than a parts bin special (ok, the roof...) but cost £140k. The market has changed a lot since then. We'll see. The number I have been told is €300-400k.

That would be serious money for a 911...

That would make more "sense" than the much higher figures quoted before.

you said 1/2 the price of a 918 which is £350k now you say from £235k !!! that's a big drop of £115k from a trusted price lol

I'll stick with £170k guess atm.

So, if you've spent lots of money recently with Porsche, and don't flip your cars for a profit, then you'll be ok.
Surely no-one on the whole internet would argue with that..? :-)

Actually half (base) price of a 918 is about c. 385 euros, so his statement is consistent(ish). Still seems a lot for a 911 - then again people are selling 4.0 RS and GT2RS for this type of money or more, ,aybe Porsche wants to get some of that instead of passing it on to customers as gain.

How many 997.2 GT3 4.0 were there - I think about 600 world wide is this right ?

All official Porsche 918 prices are quoted in euros and never sterling,781,000 euros last april equates to roughly £540,000 which is approx what Apolo 1 paid for his.Currency fluctuations makes a huge difference on purchase price!
