That will be wicked to drive - shame about the gaping front maw.  Necessary to cool the faker down no doubt, but pretty sure ain't.  Nice booty though!

Pffft.  Needs a bigger spoiler.  ;D
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Just making a guess that this will be PDK auto only.  I wonder if this will break into the 2.5 second to 60mph club.  I've read that the majority of the allocation of this vehicle will be going to 918 owners.

hasn't GT2 always been manual only car, the widow maker of porsche lines?  GT3 is the track stuff, GT2 is just crazy porsche turbo with front wheel drivetrain ripped out.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

Porsche is now offering the manual in the GT3 and the much-more-track-oriented GT2RS will be PDK only.

All those 911R owners that paid huge money in the secondary market  for the 911R got burned by Porsche when they announced the GT3 would be sold with a manual. And Porsche said "that's good, we don't like speculator buyers..."

not a Porsche guy myself...but damn!

For that money, might want to go with a Singer 930 Slantnose myself...more raw.

But damn, this will be stupid fast.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

When did Singer start making Slantnoses?

Anyways..this is much different from a Singer.  This is pure, fast, race-car for the street.  Smashed the street legal car record on the Ring' previously held by the Lambo...and even faster than a Radical!

No, they don't.  All their cars are based on the 964 911 (1989-1994).

Though I don't see why he couldn't restore and modernize a 930 to your specs.  Though I find the 930...ummm...yucky looking.

Perhaps more up your alley for fast and custom and interesting and VERY raw would be a RWB/RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF 911??  I know he does turbos too!  And he's likely the most interesting 911 tuner/builder you'll find!!

Oh he's big into the 70s/80s race-car 911 look...complete with the bonkers spoilers.  But not sure he's done a 935 style.
