[MDG]

Well, perhaps not the sort of triplets you'd imagined but enough for a feverish dream or two I reckon!

No not 911s but the new Carrera GT's ie £250K's (each)worth of 200+MPH V10 engined beast that should give an Enzo a seeing to round a track.

Last Porsche press release I saw (which admititly was months ago) had 'em priced starting at 350K euros up to 400K euros, at todays XE rates thats from £249,700 to £285,250 at European list prices.

So prob nearer £300K by the time Porsche GB get their vastly inflated cut.

I've got my name down obiously, we are just haggling over the trade in price of my 944

Porsche states €390k + VAT @16% = €452,400+ regional adaptions

Talking to the Carrera GT sales chap at Goodwood, no-one in the UK has ordered yellow. He'd had 12 second deposits for the UK allocation of 35, so some of the others may be yellow.
All cars have yellow brake callipers. It's so that those in the know will be able to tell that they are ceramic.

I pointed out that 'those in the know' already know that the Carrera GT has ceramic brakes, and he said that if a sir wanted them a different colour then he was sure that it could be arranged.

There are six colours three of them silver, black, red and yellow. But I'm sure the above applies if you wanted any other colour.

Got to sit in it too which was cool.

The only reason I mentioned £250k,was having read a write up in EVO they seemed to think it would be £330K
all in for UK markets...The difference of £80K would cover the cost of a GT3 RS to use when it was raining.

I heard recently of somebody who has their name down on a Carrera GT for Malaysia.They are not allowed to bring lhd cars into the country,the owner is spending the purchase price again having the car converted to rhd at a carbon fibre specialist as Porsche could/would not do it...This makes it Maclaren F1 money,when you take into account import duties on foreign cars over there.
