Matt PiccoloNov 14, 2012 Yes I'll take a base version an put the other 84k towards uh, like 3 other cars lol
Matthew MazzarelliNov 14, 2012 Lol if I wanted a track car I'd have just as much fun in a 944 stripped out and some upgrades. If I want numbers, ill get a funny car. If I want a masterpiece of engineering, ill get a 918.
Patrick SchalkNov 13, 2012 Hahahaha Erich thinks people who can afford these cars are worried about gas mileage. That's funny.
Jörgen NilssonNov 13, 2012 You're comparing the 918 to a Vette and saying it's the 918 that has the crappy interior? My god...
supra_mkivNov 13, 2012 Appreciate the machine and engineering; not the stats alone. If you want power get a funny car and go drag racing lol
Shelby CassandraNov 13, 2012 @Dillon. As would I. If someone were to give me a corvette I would sell it.
Dillon MageeNov 13, 2012 Be that as it may, I would still prefer the 918.
Shelby CassandraNov 13, 2012 The funny thing is that someone with a 1500hp corvette would smoke the 918 in pretty much all performance aspects. You guys don't seem to take it serious at all. The interior sucks and it doesn't look the greatest, but it is a great track car.
Matthew MazzarelliNov 13, 2012 Colby sounds like a complete douche. Might explain why he probably doesn't have his license and is cussing on black ops right now. A 918 parked will laugh at any corvette and this is coming from a Chevy owner.
John SerelyNov 13, 2012 @nick look at my comment. I said other companies do the same thing, I never mentioned anything about who started it haha
Quinn RogersNov 13, 2012 You would probably be spinning your tired with all that real wheel horsepower do you wouldn't even catch him until you were going way over the speed limit
Nick BenzNov 13, 2012 But then when you line up next to him on a track, he'll be lapping you as you go through every corner sideways.
Shelby CassandraNov 13, 2012 Oh lord. 63k paint job is just stupid.
Colby ChurchNov 13, 2012 Let's see the guy in the 918 laugh when my 1500hp ZR1 blows by him like he's sitting still, and I would still have enough cash left to buy a nice house and have spending money left over. Value is in the eye of the beholder I guess. :)
Thibault LeroyNov 13, 2012 Wow you could buy a nice car for each of these options!
Jon WheelNov 13, 2012 Okay, buy some Subarus. If a 918 pulls up next to you, they're still gonna be the one laughing.
Nick StiNov 13, 2012 For that money, I could have a fully built STi, BRZ daily driver, and a 240sx with an RB25det swap
Dennis ChoongNov 13, 2012 $63k for a paint? ... and I thought Ferrari's paint's expensive
John SerelyNov 13, 2012 @nick actually, a lot of automakers do that. Nice try haha
Description: For reference, that's enough to buy a new 911 Carrera. So what do you get for all that extra cash? Well, you get less. And that's the whole idea. The Weissach edition strips some 77 lbs off ...Add Comments7
John SerelyNov 13, 2012 @scott they will not need an option package on their car to get attention...
Scott LoraasNov 13, 2012 I'm sure there will be plenty of guys who drop the extra 90k in hopes they will get more attention at their local Cars and Coffee.
supra_mkivNov 13, 2012 I have thought of that before. If the driver was overweight he wouldn't be able to post a better laptime lmao..
Ben AugustNov 13, 2012 $84,000 for 77lb... Hmm. That's $1,090 per lb. Why doesn't the driver just get on a diet, and then buy the wheels himself? At -30lb from wheels, a few aftermarket carbon fiber pieces, and a diet, a driver could likely beat this special edition.
Calvin WindischNov 13, 2012 It's not really less if your getting carbon fiber and titanium
Thibault LeroyNov 13, 2012 Well this isnt really a special edition like the scuderia and superlegerra its and option
Drew HumphreyNov 13, 2012 If you are going to spend $1M on a car, $84K for a special edition does not seem like much.
Michael MitnikNov 13, 2012 Wow they are not kidding with weight loss. That's probably even more expensive looks like it's 100 pounds lighter. wonder when this variant comes out? Jk..
Biswajyoti DasNov 13, 2012 Porsche used carbonfiber + titanium in the carerra gt. Now combining the two words we get Carbotanium. But James May was clever. Titanium+carbon = Titbon! Lmao!
Colby ChurchNov 13, 2012 Lol... You guys are crazy.... x)
Tony FlahertyNov 13, 2012 Look at the exhausts it must sound mental this way.
Adam GrayNov 13, 2012 This is the base package. If you want the body panels it will cost you an extra $300,000.
Luis Daniel AngilelloNov 13, 2012 Beer cooler made of titaluminum (yes, I made that up) that automatically reshapes into a spoiler to provide more drag to the rear wheels while air cooling the beer (I'm gonna patent that!)
Michael MitnikNov 13, 2012 That's a feature I will spend extra on!
A diet would be cheaper.
