I believe it's 185k. About 25k more than a RS 3.8 and I.M.O a lot more bang. Under 3000lbs wet, and 500hp all motor. What. A. Drivers. Car.

It's rumored to be about $185k base. Considering that a .2 RS was $132,800, the 4.0 RS is more like $50k+ more. I love this car, however, as much as the sub 3000 lb weight is very attractive it is only 20-30 lbs lighter than the RS and hopefully that is not in part due to option delete.

Anyway, the numbers speak for themselves. I am just not all excited about 22 less lbs. It is obvious Porsche wanted to tout less than 3000 lbs and 500 hp. The latter is uber impressive for a NA 4 liter. Downforce is crazy as well; especially the front. |

I am not knocking this car. I am saying that people are all caught up in the weight when in reality it is not very much lighter than the RS; which is fine. At this level weight reduction is hard to achieve. The power and downforce really make this car run. And, yes the whole package makes it tick. But, at $52K plus over a .2 RS it is expensive. This car well equipped will likely be very, very close to $200k or more. At least .2 RS's residuals will not be affected. With that said I get wood just thinking about driving one. I broke mine out for spring this weekend. Even driving to the grocery store is an event; and a good one. Last edited by devo; 05-01-2011 at 04:37 PM.. |

Wow, sick power to weight ratio, sick. Not quite MP4-12C level, but still pretty crazy. 125 hp/l is crazy as well, right about the same as the 458 Italia. Had to laugh at how bad the autoblog article got the aero specs. The ENTIRE car develops ~430 lb of down force at top speed, this DOES NOT come JUST from the front flics. It comes from the entire aero package most notably that honking big wing. 430 lb of down force would tear that bumper cover off in an instant.

Oh yeah forgot to remind/mention. Why can't M division interviews/adverts be this good? This is a recurring theme... Oh well generally faster cars, much more $$ and more profits to spend on marketing. BMW could improve here even without spending a bunch of money.

Limited production car. This will be the largest engine ever for the 911. Kinda makes this a "special car", and I think I speak for the majority when I correct you, nothing about this car, including the brakes are shit. This is a much different car than the F430, not really a logical comparison. Which one do you have?

I hate to split hairs but why isn't an F430 Scuderia a good comparison? Both are track oriented sports cars.

If I had that kind of money I'd probably spend it on something else. Probably on an Atom or Radical for the track (with a tow vehicle), and something very nice in the $100k range for the street. Or nix all that and just get an "exotic". But that's just me.
