I think for 800K they will see their order bank go from 1000 to 100. This car should be priced in the 400K to 500K range tops.

Oh yeah!! I'd be all in for that! The 356 started my addiction.

Or, even better, a new 356, about 2,500 pounds, a flat-6 from the GT3, and for the "356 S", one from the GT3 RS, and NO optional PDK. That would be a very cheap fun and fast daily track car. I don't want to get off topic though.

918 looks good- but is it? Sorry, no heavy electric motors for me. Ya, the 918 is light, but imagine how light'd be without those electric motors PDK and pointless technology?
