Is this price realistic? Mind you, nice colour and spec.

Well its been reduced by £75k from the original asking price, but it sure is a beauty - barely driven and a very nice spec indeed!

I wonder how much AMWorks could charge to convert the box to the dogleg manual? scratchchin

The details show a top speed that is 20 mph slower than a V12VS.

Is it therefore a gearing change that shaves 0.2 from the acceleration?

Seems odd.

Probably more likely to be another dealer that isn't actually sure on the spec of its sale cars.

Has been for sale for quite a few months now - not that I have been looking smile

Mid priced compared with the other two being advertised one at £500k outside the network and one £395k which will be at the new Bristol dealership when it opens next month.

I have heard of a couple of GT12's changing hands at a premium but nothing like the prices advertised here. Will be interesting to see how long, and if, they sell. I doubt the current owners are in a rush.

It's a high price but it's a beautiful car. The reduction in top speed is because of the aero - but I haven't seen the actual number.

There are 3 for sale at the moment 395 - 500k LHD and RHD
The thing to watch is the amount of options that can be ticked you could be talking about a 75k difference there?
Talking to those that have driven the GT8 and GT12 there bias is GT8 so will be interesting what happens here as deliveries start in Q4 2016 of GT8's.
The expectations of specials start silly I am sure the first GT12 was advertised for Eur 800,000.
If the 911R is anything to go by they are staying silly as well.

I dont know that car very well, but gearing and aero could easily account for the difference.

Or it could just be a mistake!

Its a bargain when compared to a 911R.

The owner of this car is quite happy to wait for his price. If the car doesn't sell he is not in the slightest bit bothered. We started at £500k as there were no other cars like it on the market and we had to start somewhere. The car at £395 is LHD and a lower spec. There are no other comparable cars for sale at £425k. Take ur point on GT8 but it's 600bhp and 1 of only around 30ish uk cars so it's super rare and a scary beast to drive. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
