I've just been reading up on it and it sounds like an awesome piece of kit, but I wonder would it actually be a good investment?
I reckon it probably will because these sort of limited run cars tend to go up in value.

What does everyone else think?

If you want an investment get a 996 GT3 or GT2.

Think you might still be a little squiffy.

718 spyder still roughly same as new, after 6 years.
Can’t see that changing anytime soon.

that is just mental.
Give me one with some miles on it in the launch colour instead (looks better too imo, orange not in my top-10 for this car), for 1.5m.
Americans with too much money.

This car has a unique specification and, disregarding the colour, which is well suited to the US market, the price achieved illustrates just how these prize Porsche models start appreciating in value. This example has a very low milage and will be perceived as a good addition to someone’s car collection, as it is unlikely to be driven very often.

Some speculation about the Mecum results.

This one was 2x the normal stateside pricing, even with it's one of PTS it's an outlier.

Not sure how it's well suited to the US market!

Seemed to be quite a few 'outliers' at Mecum, especially among the F-cars
