just in case there is any confusion, i am NOT comparing this car to the Emira.... never have done..... despite
@Cachaco131 confusing me and
@Leonard with someone else
. Only comparable car is the Caywoman GTS, not even the GT4. we know that... Even when the AMG version hits 500 hp, for me it still wont compete so much with the GT4, as it wont be manual and wont have that flat 6 engine.... but in terms of track times and prices, then it will compete, all depends how you look at it. In fact I think the 475/500 HP AMG i4 will be more expensive that the GT4, we shall see.....
For an 80k purchase some would look at a Vantage, but clearly not a competitor in real terms, only as its 4 years old and hence price is now similar, but running costs, interior quality, engine, presence, self satisfaction ie smug feeling... all different.
Even an Alpine is not really a competitor, depending how you look at it...but its all subjective. If we look at competitors in terms of lap times, then a mini GP is probably faster around some tracks? Handmade low volume cars are too, but in terms of the vast majority of where EMira's customers would spend their money, if not with Lotus, I think we are talking porsche, Cayman or 911..... yes 911 has to be thrown in there.
Anyway, as this thread is about porsche's.... the above is a 2500 limited edition one which will again go up in value by 20/30% as soon as you get it, if you can get it. Relatively cool, but a bit futile as who in their right mind is going down a rocky mountain path with a 250k car.... unless you have several others in the garage of course.
