This may need to be the M Coupe replacement rather than the 997 Turbo. I have an email into their info department. That car is seriously sexy, even in the goofy orange.

The turbo is sweet, and PDK plus DI makes it even more of a ridiculous monster. However, you have to give that singer the edge in personality. And it only weighs 2400 lbs.

Agreed, I am sure it will be a blast albeit a very expensive one.

I don't know the price, I emailed the company for more info, and will keep you posted. There are far too many interesting car choices now a days.

Sweet car! never been a fan of the older 911 (flame suit on!), but put some other rims on that, and it's one helluva sweet car!

I did a story on that car several weeks ago... and I have been promised a first-drive before the end of the year.

It is one hellava car, but the price tag is over $200,000. Did I just say that?

200k I guess that relegates this car to the Thurston Howles of the planet. There are many a fine option at that price, so I have a feeling the production will be extremely low. For 130 grand I would consider, for 200 grand, nope.

About 250 grand for one of these. Too rich for poor doctor blood. Maybe some day when I am to old and infirm to enjoy it. (sigh)

Cool car but they must be running a lot of gear in that car to "only" run 170 mph with 360 HP or 425 HP @ 2400 lbs. I realize it's not the most aero piece out there but still. You can't use more than 170 mph anywhere in the U.S. even on track, so I imagine that's why they put the gear to it - for track use or they are running a low redline. Should be fun for a few willing to spend $200 K.

I can't see this being worth more than a GT2, or a cherry 993 Turbo S.

It is hardly a rational purchase (I'd have a GT3 RS and a Panamera S in my garage for that money). Think of it along the lines of a one-off piece of art. It is one dude's expression of the ultimate air-cooled Porsche.
