But it's a proper serious track weapon slightly civilised for road use and all your friends will need to know that as they gaze on it in reverential awe in your heated garage from where it ventures out occasionally on those times you need to add a few tens of miles (not too many, mind because that'll screw the value as well as remind you that you should've saved a wad of cash and bought a normal 911 with comfy seats for your fat middle-aged backside to fit into and be less jarring on your spine) to let it be seen out in public so the wider populace can either ignore you or nod their head in quiet understanding. The purchase of this proves you know about cars.

Anyway the article says the rear wing will probably be toned down a bit for production and it'll generally look less hideous when the extra cladding is removed.

Parted fool a money his and soon are. Only rearranged.

The regular gt3 992 looks good ,I’m pretty certain (hoping) the rs won’t look like that photo ,it’s disgusting .

It's obvious that there is a lot of cladding on that car to hide the true detail.

I don't hate it and I'm not jealous - I understand the principles of depreciation to my own car-buying benefit.

However, it would be nice to look through the classifieds in a few years time and see one of these with 50k miles on it and in exactly the same way it'd be uplifting to see loads of Ferraris and Lamborghinis that had managed more than 1,000 miles a year.
At least that way it'd be clear the majority were bought by wealthy enthusiasts who were prepared to use them.
While that may be the case speaking from my own experience I have never felt really comfortable pushing a car hard until I feel that I understand it and that certainly doesn't come (to me, at least) in the first handful of miles. Something with hard suspension and grippy, wide, low-profile tyres always takes a lot of learning to me.
Maybe if I had garages full of 500BHP+ track-oriented exotica I'd be able to jump between them like a true hand though, feeling the individual nuances between mid- and rear-engined as I went.
Sadly my surname isn't Queef though

It really annoys me that decent cars are bought and not driven or not driven much, just to preserve their value, especially when they are ones that are very hard or impossible for most people to buy.

I hope the bottom drops out of that particular market!

I believe they are seen more as an investment now and like anything when value is placed on it, those who do so will continue to 'grow' the business and that's what it is now. For many people a car is a means of transport and nothing else but for a growing number who care to do so the market for the next big thing hyper car as just dollar or pound signs. Remember the market caught a cold when Jaguar had the XJ 220 and the F1 had it's production run seriously cut short so they had to go racing? There were lots of people who were terrified that Jaguar were serious about going to court to extract the price of the XJ 220 when the speculators were trying to run in the other direction and sell their build slots. What a pity those speculators with their names on XJ 220's were allowed to get away with it for the most part.

I think a significant factor in the F1's production ending early is that McLaren had just started to use Mercedes engines in Formula One. It was alleged that Merc were not happy with McLaren producing something BMW-powered.

They did not sell many tourings,hence why the used price went through the roof.
You can bet buyers who want to flip will buy tourings next time and the market will be awash with them.

Arguably the Touring never really got a proper chance. It only got introduced with the 991.2, and despite Porsche saying the GT3 isn't a limited edition, today it effectively is. It would be interesting to see if they launch the Touring version simultaneously this time.

There was of course the 991.1 R, another Porsche Motorsport 911 with no rear wing. The philosophy was a bit different, but look at prices of those now!

I had the option ,but I wanted pdk ,the opc I bought from had no customers order a touring .

The only tick they missed in the Touring was rear seats as it would have given a better differentiation between itself and the GT3.

Yep. My OPC told me the same when I spoke to them. I was just commenting that it was surprising (to me) that none of the customers of your OPC actually ordered a Touring

Wasn't the Touring restricted to a manual gearbox? That's likely to have harmed sales.
