QUE? To my eyes it's a stunner. My kids are now for sale and I'm booking an appointment with the shady local vet to pop out those unneeded excess organs.
I think you'll need to budget rather more than rrp. I'm guessing they were all allocated before ever going on sale.

A bit too pastiche. Like the original would look if you were drunk and a bit blind. Feels like they started with the 'Let's make it retro, and then worry about everything else'. I have no doubt it will be stunningly effective. Would just be nice if it could be its own thing.
Agreed.It’s good, but it’s not right.
Reminds me of some of the tat aftermarket companies put out in the 80’s and sold to rich Arabian collectors.
“Oh but this is ‘official homage’ sir”... in which case let the fawning stampede commence!!
The sooner a proper range topper a la 918 is shown the better....
Holy s
t - bleary eyed this morning browsing instagram a mate had posted this and I thought it was an Alpine GT3/4 from the back - did NOT know it was a 911. Think it's a cool concept - Porsche really have got their business heads sorted, must be raking it in.
Shame they'll probably never see a track in anger

Odious whiff of Marketing gonks at work here.
Take a load of nods to Porsche competition past. Roll it into a car you can't use on the road. Roll into a car that hasn't got a modern race series to compete in (GT3/4 etc). Part suckers with 3/4M for the privilege to have a homage/pastiche to Porsche illustrious past under a dust sheet. Keep fingers crossed that through exclusivity (only 77) they go up in value. Porsche investment gold bullion myth perpetuates.
Licence to print money - you've got to hand it to Porsche.

Just about to say the same...... However I love it. Not pretending to be anything it isn't. Take a load of nods to Porsche competition past. Roll it into a car you can't use on the road.
