I'd say that maybe 20-30% of the Porsches sold in my hometown of Houston go to actual enthusiasts.

In the end, this is just more cash in the porker bank to keep expanding the GT breed.
totally agree!

here it was just like he owns "a Porsche" (not even saying 911)
or I`ll buy a Porsche

just like owning a golden Rolex

I know *my* hot wife wants that. Actually, and a few others. Marrying a car chick = awesome but sets a standard ya gotta keep up with! Eh, all good. When I can get her all the cars she wants, I will w/o hesitation.

it sounds more like a Ferrari V8 than a "normal" V8. Especially 2:32-2:36 sounds exactly like a 458.

That 'typical' V8 sound that many American cars have is a V8 with a cross plane crank. European V8 cars such as Ferraris have a flat plane crank, which accounts for that distinctive higher pitched sound. The 918 has an RS Spyder V8 which I believe has a flat plane crank.

Also, pretty cool to see they are developing the 918 with a Carrera GT right along side it as a reference.
