I think a reference to the upcoming, "more affordable" Mclaren.

Depends on what you need the power for: boasting in the pub or cruising down the Kings Road? Yes, you have to have more power than your competitors. But for driving on real roads (at speeds relevant for crappy, congested, policed UK roads) then 600 is just as irrelevant as 700 or 800 or 900.

Very interested in this but it seems a long way off

With P13 on the way and the Cayman 'GT4' coming though, I guess we can all wait!

Surely this car will have to be a hybrid , if porsche are true to their word about keeping the tree huggers happy , and also competing with the rest of the pack ?

I sure hope this won’t share a platform with the next R8/Huracan.

Why not if its good,porsche cant keep reinventing the wheel.
How do you better a cgt chassis/tub!
