... Just reading Autocar - sounds like the real deal with all the right ingredients, but all of a sudden they're talking about fifty grand!

Will those of you who have registered your intent with the OPC's be changing your mind given that this car's not going to be a bargain.

By the time it's available, and by the time you add all of the extras you're going to be talking used GT3/TT money.

the early reports on the coupe, as reported in some posts/threads late last year, talked about it being "slightly cheaper" than the soft-top. Yeah right.

I wonder if they will offer a folding metal roof as an option with a fixed roof version available? the latter should certainly be comparably priced to the current models. a folding roof presumably piles on the pounds, both in weight and finances.

I agree, 300 bhp sounds good, but for £50,000, a 996tt sounds better.
