Surface plate. The 918 is a precision instrument.

I think this (Not the very Ferrari front end) is the money shot....

LOL i've got a 3' x 4' granite surface plate in my shop and it was really expensive. I can't imagine how much one that big cost, no wonder that car is $800k! :eek:

It's cool but can it pull a 2:58.34 around VIR, cause at its price-tag the Camero is a much better deal:)

At the expected $845,000 price tag, you can bet it won't win any bang for the buck contest.

But it's a hybrid, so at least you get your own traffic lane in California.....

What a beauty. The latest edition of Excellence says that those are 'temporary' 991 rear lights...the gap around them does looks extreme. Does anyone know if those are the final rear light assemblies and if not, are there any photos of the final lights mounted?

Nice link.

Not as colorful as the scale model, but nice just the same.:)

Not anymore.

Now that is a beautiful car. Looks like a Porsche to me.

-Over $800K for that! ?? Possibly there is still something left from the Reich in Germany after all these years- Insanity.
Laughable.

Agree - the gap does look extreme. I haven't see any better photos, but Porsche has some precedent in the GT1.

If I had the money to buy one I would have the money to be able to tell them to put a Carrera GT front end on it.

I kind of like the original look, though.

I think will be closer to the production lights.

The car looks stunning in person and certainly drew a crowd.

Nice!

A Hybrid? Cool, just like my Camry!

800 horsepower, 800,000.00. The Germans like precision.

She ees ver', ver' how you say, seggzé indeed, no?

I don't know what that means. Why can't everyone just speak like us 'Muricans? :D
