^^the Wiesmann's just simply 'do it' for me
No, that is actually the Porsche 918 Spyder. It is a hybrid. Porsche will only be making 918 of them...production will begin in 2013. Unfortunately, they are all already spoken for so you were in the market for an $845,000 Porsche...you missed your window of opportunity

ugh not feeling the rear-end... reminds of the Panamera... hell front looks weird too, why the weird angle on the turn signals? it doesn't really look like a 911 anymore.

I'm guessing I'll like the performance variants better. I haven't liked the 'regular' versions much, for a while now.

"Porsche, there is no re-design" LOL
Headlights look hweird in side profile, tail lights will take some getting use to and remind me of the Vantage, interior is not as Panamerasque as I feared. Front and rear overhang looks better. Ultimately, I drive Porsche because of how it handles, not how it looks. Quite honestly, my C2S reminds me of a frog but is still a great all-around car for street and the track. Excited to see it drop at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1 month.

Is it just me...or is this thread a bit...weird...?
There's a lot of reposting of pics already existing in threads. So, aside from drooling at cars most of us don't have the paygrade to own...isn't this thread sorta...redundant with the various threads already out there for the models being posted about...?
Just asking for your thoughts...

Like take CCColts' post on this page for instance for the 2012 Porsche 911...we have a thread for that and those pics were posted already.
Same goes for the Zonda R stuff.

I'm not trying to discourage banter, john. So, don't take it personally...I'm just wondering out-loud what exactly is the purpose of this thread at this point given how it has evolved.
For instance, you have these threads:
1- https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/official-flat-black-evilness-thread-365126/ This thread has a purpose: nice pics of flat-black cars. Alright.
2- https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/official-most-beautiful-cars-thread-341703/ This thread's purpose: Cars we all think are the most beautiful...which sorta is what we're doing in here (at least to me) except we are keeping it within the Euro manufacturers I suppose.
3- https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/official-car-photo-day-pics-you-have-not-taken-796855/ This thread's purpose is for very nice pictures of nice cars we find online.
And this is not including the news threads in the Automotive News sub-forum for the various cars (i.e. Aston Martin, Ferrari, Pagani, Wiesmann, Porsche) that have some of the pics that are being posted already in here...

Anyhow, not trying to stunt the chatter as I'm absolutely open to anything...But, if we already are achieving the goal I THINK we're doing in this thread in other existing threads already in Car Talk (and Automotive News)...I dunno if this one is needed.

No thunder being stolen whatsoever...I'm fine with keeping thread alive. Just asking the question.
