Very nice but why all the 911 (911, 911S, 911 4S, 911 Turbo,911 Turbo S, 911 GTS, 911 4GTS, 911R) look the same? GT3 and GT3RS have wing so look different ... just saying

Don't forget... the 911 Targa and all their iterations. I'm sure I forgot others too.

They make 10, no one can get them, over MSRP, what's the point? Repeat and rinse, repeat and rinse.

You right.. I though Targa has different roof or removable roof

Only 300 will come to the US, and most 918 owners will get first dibs. Actually it may free up some RS's which is what I rather have. The goodness the current GT3 may be the last 9000k rpm Porsche is a big deal, or who knows it could explode.

Here is a video ruined by music.

How much of a difference is it between 9,000 RPM versus 8,800 RPM? Can owners actually perceive it?

I would say not much, but it's really a mechanical marvel for a 3liter motor to achieve such a thing. The sound is really incredible, and could be the fist and last produced.

Not really. $16,000.00 liter bikes redline at 14200+ rpm all day, everyday. These cars could easily rev higher if manufacturers wanted.

Also, who could forget 2004 F1, 3.0l V10s revving to 20k. I know. Race car...

I heard today that all 991 911 R's that will be produced are all spoken for already. I'm sure we'll see some for a sale next year though.

The R is definitely on the want list but Porsche just announced they are going to work on the GT2. That one will be nuts!

I got 300 hundred coming to the states of 991 being produced. 918 owners ha e first dips because of the loyalty package. A buddy of mine has the R coming RS, and the new turbo crazy fun. My guess with limited supply they will go for 200k over MSRP .......just give me an RS and I'm good. Porsche called me for one that was 299k, and I said call me when the hype dies down I will wait it out. The R will be a true collector with less than a 1000 copies.

Ridiculous and seemingly pointless markups when the 991.2 GT3 looks to be offered with this same manual for ~150k out the door. Still, cool car. Would be fun to experience the amazing RS engine with a manual

Out looking right now. Need something a little better for kid hauling. Tried the S8 plus, the RS7, and the S6. Ended up liking the S6. Weird....

OMG, thats just fucking crazy.. I mean even if money isn't an issue thats still crazy.

When he said that to you was it over text, in person, on the phone?
And what was your reaction.

I've never heard of anything like this, and I've been in the Car bizz my whole life.

A sport bike is 4cyl. So if you do the Math, it's equivalent of a 6cyl revving at 9,466rpm. One catch, a sport bike engine's lifespan is around 20-25k miles. A car's engine lifespan is 150-300k miles depending on how well you keep up with maintenance. Could Porsche and BMW make their 6cyl rev to 12k RPM? Yes, but you'll have to rebuild the motor every 50k miles and change the oil every 3k miles. The F1 team travels with 2-4 engines for a reason. Revving at 20k RPMs don't last very long, even with the most expensive parts money can buy.

Ferraris have super high revving engines. Their maint schedule is ridiculous and expensive, and they're not as reliable as a Porsche or a BMW.

As for this 911R. It's cool and all, but you can't touch one at MSRP unless you bought a 918 recently. Otherwise, plan to pay $350-400k for one. A car guy here waited 3yrs for a GT3 RS, P-Car guys are crazy...

Wow S6 over RS7? I'd say the S6 is better looking too bad they don't make a RS6

No kidding man. There's plenty of tunes to choose from though.
