What an awesome car. My 2004 Anniversary Edition 911 is 2949 lbs and 345 HP. This beast is only 150 lbs heavier and double the horsepower. Not quite half the the 0-100 kph time. Insane! Tom

Just to keep your interest peaked...
Jim.......Great photos. Too bad they can't be viewed in their entirety. Kind of disappointing you don't take the time to resize your photos before posting them to AA. I have a 27" widescreen monitor and have to scroll up and down and side to side to view just portions of each photo. Some photo editing on your part prior to posting to a size of about 1250 pixels wide would be appreciated. Doing that would allow photos to be viewed in their entirety without the need to scroll up and down or side to side, never viewing the entire photo at one time.

Bob.......I hear you. On another note, I am not a fan of Alcantara as a substitute for full grain leather where hands and body can touch it on a regular basis. The red Alcantara on the steering wheel will be filthy in no time. Alcantara headliners are fine. Where my arms rest and my hands grip I expect leather, carbon fiber, and/or wood.

I hear that sticker is somewhere about $380K. Porsche will manufacture a few more cars than the original announced number. They are also trying to lock down on the resale of the car and are only selling to people who wish to keep the car for a while elimating the crazy above sticker pricing.

Default Most powerful 911 yet!

You guys operate in an entirely different plane. I can only appreciate these cars from afar as they would each cost more than my home. I do remember drooling over my former CEO's Carrera GT that he parked in the hotel lot (with cones around it) next to headquarters. If my memory serves me, that car cost him close to $500k.
