918 Revisited
I hear sales are IN THE TANK and hardly anyone has placed an order. I only know of one person. Does anyone have any info on where this deal is going with noone buying? And, does anyone know someone buying one, or is someone here buying? They are in trouble with this IMHO.

It's too damn much money. Even really rich guys can swing $300K, $400K, even $500K for a car, but dropping what will likely be close to $1MM after options, taxes, etc. is a tough pill to swallow unless you've got numbers with nine zeroes in your bank account...

These are out of my league, so I'm not one with any insight.
BUT, the rumored 961 (Mid-Engine V8 based somewhat on 918) can't help. In theory it sounds more 'driveable & realistic' than the 918, at a price point between the GT2RS and 918. Of course, there's a pretty LARGE gap in pricing there, so it could mean $400K, or it could mean $700K.
And since it's tied to 918 sales, almost of equal interest is how many TTS 918 Spyder Editions have been sold (if any)???

None in Dallas. Pretty big market. Stronger sales than Houston. That should say quite a bit.
IDK on the 961. They claim the same electric motor stuff. It might be cool, but we aren't ready and don't really want. Noone, and I mean noone, that buys an $850k car could give a damn about gas mileage. Or how cool it is to get 100 mpg on theirs. We want it fast and loud.
(on a side note, post pics of your GTS)

im in dallas too and have heard zero interest all round. we have several CGT's in our market, i think we are indicative of the general consensus towards this car.
its overpriced and simply not exciting imo. a car in this range should stun every sense and be a paradigm shift in it of itself. the 918 is not that car.

I posted an album of the GTS here. Also need to clean her up and get my black plates added for some better pics. Headed to SF next week, think I'll pickup the SW bypass while I'm there, install it, and then add some pics.
