Very cool, but at that price I'm taking a black on black RWB 930 turbo, stripped with roll cage and a big straight pipe exhaust.

Nice, very nice. But for me the original Sppedster was a stunner too. Loved that car in my youth.

Even more rare than a SS Daytona at an AD. It is beautiful.

The remaining 918 VIPs will get a chunk of them. I can think of at least one person I've noticed here that may well qualify for an allocation.
Regular "rich" people will have a harder time ordering one successfully.

But I recommend the Borla as a bit of backpressure isn’t bad

The chances of anyone getting one of these who isn't an established VIP customer or not willing to pay a MASSIVE admin markup will be next to zero.
Look at the insanity with the R, and pretty much every GT car and those aren't even limited.
It's beautiful but sadly is made completely of unobtanium.

Nevermind... it's based off of the 991.2 platform, not the 992. That explains it.

I'm going to miss the 991.2. :(

That car looks amazing. I’m a huge 911 fan and have been for years.

I’m willing to bet our local and preferred dealer will get one. If I see it, I’ll be sure to post a picture.

Nice but I’d rather have a Boxster Spyder. Naturally aspirated motor, lightweight, and much prettier IMO. Much closer to what the original Speedster concept was. 911’s are just getting too big and luxurious, and less like 911’s.
