SimonN Posted 10August, 2016 Report Share Posted 10August, 2016 I got to say i really cannot understand the price gouging comments about the 991 R. It's an uprated GT3 chassis with a GT3 RS engine, a unique gearbox, comes with ceramic brakes as standard (and that does make a huge difference to how a car handles). It has been lightened, it has a who raft of special equipment and every journo who has driven it says it is far more interesting to drive than either the GT3 or the RS. The Sports Classic is price gouging, but when you compare the specs of the 911R to the others, it stacks up. And what's not to like? A better drivers car that sounds better and feels like a smaller, lighter 911. To me, this is what Porsche should have done years ago, but instead, the 911 has got bigger and heavier, countered by adding more and more power.IMO, every great 911 has a common theme - its a true lightweight and it maximises the connections and feel between the driver, the car and the road. The recent generations of RS have lost that focus, which is why I prefer the earlier 996/7 RS's (of the water cooled generation). 911's in general have become too big and bloated - the Cayman is the same size as the air cooled cars and Porsche had to be careful not to develop the GT4 too much or else they will be quicker than the RS.Now, if they did the weight reduction stuff to the RS and added a manual gearbox.......oh, wait, that's the 911R. scashin and Blue964 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 10August, 2016 Report Share Posted 10August, 2016 Simon, I think the price gouging comments may refer to people who missed out on an R, paying over MSRP for the 911 R from those with allocations or cars. scashin, SimonN and michel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 11August, 2016 Report Share Posted 11August, 2016 Simon, I think the price gouging comments may refer to people who missed out on an R, paying over MSRP for the 911 R from those with allocations or cars. It's also about limiting supply to create exclusivity and values which benefits?....Rich customers and the brand. I thought all Porsche's were supposed to be sports cars as described above by Simon. Oh wait, it's about the $$$ now. Everyone else is at it so why not them. Sell sell sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
