As an aside, there are real life pics floating around now of aerokitted 991s - it looks pretty good and goes a long way toward visually shortening the wheelbase - the wing makes the car look stubby like the older cars. If history is a guide (997.1 aerokit vs. 997.1 GT3) then we're probably seeing what the new GT3 will look like, with the obvious addition of two center exit exhaust pipes and a vent in front of the bonnet.

 

Sorry I wrote incorrect. It will be difficult for anything to hold value post 2007-2008 credit bubble peak. People are used to anything from art, to old cars, to stocks going up by a factor of 20 since 1970's. Endless credit inflation simply provided the fuel. People can make all the "fundamental" supply/demand arguements they want. None of these cars will appreciate substantially, why should they? Porsche is a diluted brand and the 4.0 RS is an excellent car, but last year Porsche had what 15 different limited editions? Big deal. These are still mass production cars just with upgraded parts. Why is Porsche's only supercar Carerra GT selling for 30% off MSRP 6-7 years later? Lets see Scuderia 16M, 499 produced yet at any given time you can buy one now. People should buy these cars and enjoy them, thinking they will appreciate is a total pipe dream. All these 1960's Ferrari's fetching 6-7million are at a peak too. You think the next generation buyer, who will be substantially poorer will care to pay for a vehicle he has no sentimental attachment too? By that logic the Model T should be 100million dollars by now. The 4.0RS will be hard to find, but there won't be any increased demand for it to cause substantial price appreciaion. To top it off in 20 years the only people that will know how to drive manual will be old men.

 

That made me laugh. sad but true
