anon Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Finally! What a sexy beast, and in a real 6spd. 997 turbo sales will take a beating from this thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12Aston Report post Posted February 8, 2009 It's a shame the RS won't be making it to the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickSimmons Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I wonder, how many people will choose this car over R8 V10? Not many IMO. Aside from being pretty different vehicles, the price alone is enough to divide them. If the £140K price ends up to be true, that will be quite a bit more.

Mako Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Not many IMO. Aside from being pretty different vehicles, the price alone is enough to divide them. If the £140K price ends up to be true, that will be quite a bit more. Agree. Somewhat similar problem as the R8 V10 however (but not as tough for Aston), not enough of a prestige brand to warrant that price in the US. Should be ok elsewhere however.

KING-640 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Finally! What a sexy beast, and in a real 6spd. 997 turbo sales will take a beating from this thing. No they won't, this car won't make even the slightest dent in 997 sales. Porsche buyers have always been hardcore enthusiasts, they're not just gonna switch to an Aston because it's finally in their price range and has a little more power over the standard model. The 911 platform is tried and tested and the aftermarket is a huge portion of what drives the 997 Turbo's sales, this car is gonna get blown away by the Turbo in every category except maybe looks.

ralfabco Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Looks nice. Good to hear, that the car comes standard with the 6spd Late model AM cars, are difficult to find with a manual transmission. The GT3, is the way to go. That is the best modern performance track car. this car is gonna get blown away by the Turbo in every category except maybe looks. In addition, the P car will be more reliable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
