I'm not sure about the carbon hood, but I'm sure it'll look good. I'll take one in full carbon with no paint-- if it's made fully of carbon of course Do anyone know if the U.S is gonna get it?

I guess Porsche had to build something to compete against the 599 GTO...

I really want to see some more detail pictures but I guess we have to wait some more
+1 Can't wait to see & hear more about this car. But now I'm even more stoked to see how far Porsche is going to have to go with the 918 to justify it one day taking over Porsche's 'Halo' crown.

Major rep to all those who broke the news early. You were right. This Forum rocks!

Does anyone know what the exchange rate or price will be base in the US? Also, what was the full production for the 997.1 GT2? The US has 210 dealers, so many of them will never see the car. Factor in the 300 number being posted, and China becoming a force on the buying front, and the US won't see many cars. I am also beginning to question the 300.

My guess is that the car would be listed above $250K regardless of exchange rate conversion from Euro price.

GT3ZZZ is famous!
From The InsideLine blog:

"Look for a 620-horsepower rating (and, heavens to betsy, that seems high) and a 0-to-60-mph time in the very low 3-second range, says forum member GT3ZZZ. Also we're told to expect a Nordschleife lap time of 7:22, which would would beat the Corvette ZR1.

Also, it's said that only 300 examples of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS will be built and, at least in Europe, they'll be priced at 240,000 euros with sales beginning in September. More details, allegedly, will be released on or about May 14."

A little late the party, but I am stunned nonetheless. What an incredible sled!
