the new Porsche 911 Carrera GT

[flylwsi]

hey JD...
not to sink the ship, but who started porsche?
and back in the 60s-70s, it was porsche audi...
and why is it bad that they are developing with vw?
dr ferry porsche started both co's (vw and porsche), so who cares?
and vw is on top of the most cutting edge motor tech right now, so why not work with them?
do you dislike jags cuz ford owns em?
or a saab cuz gm owns it?
or a lambo cuz audi, who is a subsidiary of vw, owns em?

if they were developing some lame ass motor, id say ok, but they arent... a 300+hp v8 in a porsche is cool, and the turbo 400hp upgrade motor that will come in the cayenne is even more badass...


oh... on the title of the thread... it isnt a 911 carrera gt..
justa carrera gt....
it isnt based on the 911 or anything... didnt know if anyone caught that...
and dont get mad at me, im just pointin out some facts...

Welllllll dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnn....now thats a car.

I was watching Autoweek and they said that the price in the US will be around $350,000....My question is if you have 350K, would you spend it on the Carrera GT or on a used F40...

[gang$tarr]

that's a tough question....... really tough





hmmm........ i dunno
i think porsche.........

but then i keep thinkin F40!! juss saying it, F40, F40, FERRRRRRRRARI

i can't decide

[Koojo]

I might have the answer. If you $350,000 car, then you must have a shit load of money. Smart person would just add a lil more and buy a new F50 or something.

[GOD]

Sweet!!!! only if i had the $$$$ that is sweet as hell .......how many are made each year ?

[Adam]

it's a beauty, but they are not even sure they are gonna sell it yet,... isn't it like 500 or 300 total if they do?

I never really cared for Porsche, but they are beginning to really amaze me

[vince007_]

Yeah those things are awesome. Too bad they have a $50,000 deposit on them which doesnt even guarantee you the car. Its non refundable too so you could just plow 50K for nothing. Its worth the gamble though.

A little more....for an new F50?!??! Used F50 are 500Gs and up!

[Seb928S@af]

Well I talked to the Porsche dealer where my car is at and he is sure that Porsche will sell the Carrera GT but not a lot of them. I would get one if I have the money to get one.

[Adam]

i forgot, but i think if they do, they will go around for 500000, us....

Road and Track said Porsche pushed the date up even farther .. the date where they were supposed to decide whether to sell it or not.

They probably wouldn't make much profit, but it would REALLY up their image....not like it needs to be 'upped'

[Seb928S@af]

From the dealer what I heard they are going to go for 300,000$ to 400,000$ thats without the 50,000$ that you hand over to get on the list.

[Adam]

whatever price it is.. i can't afford it but it looks great

[Porsche]

Okay, I don't know wether you guys are just estimating or have poor sources but, The 2003 Porsche Carrera GT will cost in the neighborhood of 250,000 Pounds, not dollars. That puts it up to about 600K CDN. It's gonna be one kick ass car and it's Porsches first V10. Porsche also requires the 50,000 Pound down payment on the car. I also heard the Carrera GT can do 220MPH+.

That's nothing compared to the CLK-GTR street version. 2.2 million US Dollars, a $600,000 Down payment and you have to fly to Germany to test drive a special test car. It bonus is that you get three certified mechanics that are on stanby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that fly direct from Germany if the car should encounter any problems.

[Adam]

not 220 +, 200 +


250,000 pounds ~~ 375,000 buckeroos $$
