So they're pricing it like a base 991. Not bad... for Porsche. I'd definitely take the GT4 over the 991 or 991S because of the mid-engine. But boy the whole lure of the GT3 cars is that they are rock solid no matter how long the stints. Without the centerpiece of that category (the engine) it seems more like a clever marketing spin using the GT category name. Sure the speed is there over a single lap but GT3's are not one lap cars. Seems like this is still a GTS car. Albeit a very, very fast GTS.


Top of my wish list would be a 918 without all the Jestons tech and an 'old school' GT3 engine or the regular street engine. Seems wacky to either offer the $1 mm car or nothing after sinking all that money into developing a sub 7 minute N-ring car. A $100-$200K 918 is money on the table.
