Title: 911 GT2RS
Post by: Stickman on June 11, 2018, 07:57:18 PM
Without a doubt, if I could afford $600k odd at the moment to throw at a car, this would undoubtedly be what I purchased. What. A. Weapon. And OH SO DAMN GOOD LOOKING. If you are a petrol head and have a spare $600k and you don't (didn't- assuming all sold?) buy one of these things then you are mad.

Alternatively, if you have a spare $600k that you don't know what to do with, feel free to buy me one... :) I  will be forever grateful.

For some reason I'm always leaning towards something with 4wd.  I think I feel I need as much help as possible!

Yeah...with two rear wheels. That's quite something.

As for the 4wd comments, I think that those who buy and drive one with any real serious intent will want the slightly bonkers nature of a rear engine, 2wd, 700hp machine. The handling dynamics have also come a reasonably along way since the first GT2 - which was, by all accounts, a snatchy psycopath.

I fully intend to try and find someone/some dealer who will let me drive one. Eventually one will come up on the resale market. Will be interesting to see how many make it to NZ shores. I know one guy that has put a deposit on one...

How much over list price will it be when one does though?
