"Porsche 458 Killer"
Based off of Stoppies "OMG the 458 is insane" thread......and off his comment of "Porsche needs to come out with something to compete with the 458".......i give you this question:
What would the car be - in your mind - that Porsche would/could build that would fight the 458???
Ill go first.
Cayman Platform. 4.0 GT3 RS motor. PDK Trans from Turbo S with updated software. 3 RS suspension. GT2RS interior bits mixed with Turbo S interior bits. PCCB standard. Carbon Fiber everything. Special front bumper (integrated LED's) --- CF bonnet --- side exit exhaust (ala SLR) --- complete carbon undertray (CGT).
There, that should do it. But will they do it for under/around 300k???

Gents , Porsche is working on a " mid engined supercar to sit above the gt2rs and below the 918 . This will be a mid engined 458 and Maclaren rival ".
It will have a carbon tub and will cost around 200 000 GBP
Currently being developed under the 961 name .

So nobody else has a dream Porsche that they want to share?
I sorta did. And i love that car. But they arent PDK (from what i know) and obv it isnt a Porsche - its a RUF
Well, due to my lack of skills and resources i used what i had available to me - and isnt every car in a way, a "parts bin exercise" by the company that creates it?
Can you imagine what they have sitting around that place?!
