Ah, hadn't heard that. I'd guess they'd sell them all then.

 

Interesting question and difficult to say.

The Enzo successor will do very well, I am sure of that much.

If the 918 can destroy the Ferrari on track it will at least have a fighting chance, but otherwise it is a dIfficilt sell.

 

I believe all 918 will be sold without much of a problem, I just pray Mansory doesn't get a hold of any...

 

Alex: I think your missing that the market for Veyron purchasers is the same market for this car. $850K vs. $1.2M isn't a meaningful difference at that price level. On the other hand, $450K vs $850K are completely different market segments.

 

To me it makes the CGT all the more appealing.

 

Porsche ≠ Ferrari by any stretch. I don't think you can compare these two at all.

I will be very surprised if they sell out.

 

it will be close and Im certain they wont sell out prior to them hitting the streets but I think it will be in the 750-800 range.

 

Porsche will sell them out. Because they will say that. Whether they do or not, is another story.
200-300 is my guess.

 

Agreed Sir - although I give them a bit more credit...with around 400 sold units..

U boat commander is correct -400K compared to 850K is a different maarket-customer basis...lets see..

Even the Veyron is having trouble to get sold..there is a first hype..but then..its quickly forgotten. What I mean - once this car is in the show room and people need to get convinced by walking around it..weigthing the pros and cons..than it too late for them..eiter they sell the quickly or game over. and once therre will be an Enzo successor--than its game over anyway for 918..

 

Come to think of it, if production lasts two and a half years as it was with the Carrera GT, I think they could be capable of selling 918.

But even with a car as desirable and reasonably priced as the Carrera GT, they didn't build 230 of them that they were supposed to, but wasn't that due to U.S airbag regulations in the seats or something like that?
