So has anyone put a deposit in? Looks great in the spy pics (some in this weeks autocar).

I thought you would have had yours in by now?
for me its the best looking 911 money can buy at present and worth every penny,i'd have one in white.

Out of my league

Just curious as it is looking good, and there is so much talk of the 997 GT3 + Turbo, but very little mention of this bad boy.

Sorry mate i thought we were talking gt3,although ive seen the spy pics its not my cup of tea and after the poor sales of the 996 version i did'nt think they would have wasted the time or money again.

Hopefully they'll make a better job of it this time - I loved the 996, but it didn't quite hit the spot as it should've, especially with the Press - Hence the poor sales.
Not quite as keen on the looks of the new one - the 996 had so much presence - hope the finished version reflects this......

Yep the 996 version still looks such a weapon.

Wonder if they will price it so high this time, as surely that was part of the problem, not just the mixed reviews.

I guess so, but they have to put a premium on over the TT to maintain the 'Kudos' and prestige - I reckon about £120k should be about right - but it'll have to be fantastic.....
