So it's a competition for the 458 and MP4 but it costs twice as much?
Also what's the point of the 918 Spyder once this thing comes out? 100hp more for an extra 200k?

I think there was such interest in the 918 and the gt2rs sold out so quick that Porsche figured they could build a car that fits in between and still sell plenty

So we're looking at either a 918 Coupe, a 918 RSR, or a 929, or something else. Personally, I'll be happy with anything Porsche decides to surprise us with, as long as it's not another SUV.

I hope we'll see a 929 type car, that will be refreshed every few years, a bit like the 458 Italia. As previously said, NA with RWD, preferably.

It would make far more sense to make it at slightly less than the 458, compete and sell more.
They won't make money out a limited edition, and makes no sence at all having 2 very top end cars competing with each other. If this is true, and not just a hard top version of the 918 then the price should be right.

I agree with you Woppum. However I think it would even make more sense to build a new 928 coupe on the Panamera platform with a front V8. Basically a Porsche GT 2+2 competing with the DB9, Maser GT and BMW 6.
I'm having a hard time seing the point of this car...

Thanks for the post DJ!

Too bad they used the older renderings.

No matter, it still is great!

PCA sent out a letter yesterday saying it was the new mid engined sports car. Turbo V8 with 600 hp.
