Slightly off topic .
But if your numbers come on the Lotto how many Supercar manufacturers can you actually walk into your local dealer and order prior to having a previous relationship.
I wonder what the lead time for a non youtuber /previous customer.
You can walk in, put down 12K and order a performante for delivery early 2019. Or if that doesn't float you boat go to Ferrari and put down 20K and order a 488 for June next year. Dunno about McLaren. But if your numbers come on the Lotto how many Supercar manufacturers can you actually walk into your local dealer and order prior to having a previous relationship.

This is a CC (although in this case it is in series with a IC). it is a water jacket going around the Air intake, the water is cooled by a rad at the front of the car.
I was going to relate this article to Nobles as well Mr Bond!The front tyres on this RS are the same width as the rears on a Noble. How the game has moved on.
I have to say, I love this car more than any other Porsche ever. And that is saying something as the Carrera Gt and 3.8 Gen 2 RS are right up there for me but this really is something.
What do we think? The early "flippers" will probably shift one around £750k? (or at least price it as that......how many 911Rs actually sold for £1/2m ?!!)

If you were to put this car next to a Huracan Performante and asked to choose which one you are taking home, who would seriously choose this?
I would happily give up 70 bhp for the far better looks, noise and driving experience of the Lamborghini.
Anyone that was allocated a GT2 would be in a position to by a Performante if they so desired. The initial allocation was massively over applied for with many, many folks being denied the opportunity to aquire one so the question as to who would seriously choose this has already been answered you would have thought?I would happily give up 70 bhp for the far better looks, noise and driving experience of the Lamborghini.

Going by the photos the GT2 also has a steering wheel on both sides as well, you don't get that with the Performante do you?
Mmmm. I saw one at the launch of the Panamera estate, sorry "Sport Tourismo", Lord knows why I got invited to that. Anyway the GT2RS does look kinda evil in a racy way. But the carbon finny things over the front arches, big wing, red steering wheel and gold rims do not exactly look cool. The GT2RS is not even available to the dealer principal's son in law but the PST can be had in Turbo S form with a 3.6s 0-60 for a mere £160k. A sure fire investment. Sadly not very cool either tho!
Its amazing how many haters there are on this thread. C'mon guys its a track tool and probably a very potent one at that in typical german engineering fashion. So cut the looks some slack and savour all the engineering that has gone into this thing to make it the dominant functioning tool it is.
