Nice photoshop pictures, try looking at one in real life and you'll notice the cheapness in panel gaps, the quality of the interior isn't up to standard with most other ferrari's in the past. The triple tail pipes aren't all even. The headlights are a monstrosity. This is almost as bad as the california. The GT2 is better in my opinion in almost everyway.

Does every thread have to become a "this is better" or "I'd get this but I can't" thread?
I think its wonderful, its rare and those that buy it probably have a 458 too....
Then who wants a 458 when the next Scuderia or whatever is coming? (Damn now I'm not talking about the Porsche)....

Because the next scuderia will come after 3-4 years the first 458 goes on sale? I think those who can afford those cars will want them asap rather than weight 3+ years for a lightweight version.

If you think the 458 Italia interior is ugly you must think Corvette's have nice interiors. The 458 has one of the nicest interiors of any car, ever. If you look at the interior quality of the 360 then the 430 and then the 458 you will realize how dated the older model interiors are and how much improvement the 458 is over them. Take a look on ebay yourself and compare the interior of those three models and really ask yourself if the 360 has a better interior and quality than the 458.

I've felt that the 911 shape has been played out for some time now but this is something I can get behind.
2010 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Official Revealed with price
620 Highly Efficient Turbo-Horsepower: Most Powerful Street-Legal Porsche of all Times
The future top GT model marking the absolute climax in the 911 range is the fastest and most powerful road-going sports car ever built in the history of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart. With power up by 90 hp and weight down by 70 kilograms or 154 lb in comparison with the 911 GT2, the new 911 GT2 RS has a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.21 kilos or 4.9 lb per horsepower, by far the best power/weight ratio in its class. Obviously, these are the ideal ingredients for an ultra-high-performance sports car with supreme agility, truly blistering performance on the road, and of course exemplary Porsche Intelligent Performance. For despite this extra power and performance, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions versus the 911 GT2 are down by approximately 5 per cent to 11.9 ltr/100 km (equal to 23.7 mpg imp) and 284 g/km.
The 3.6 litre six-cylinder boxer engine boosted by two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry exclusive to Porsche in its combination with a gasoline engine drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. Developed especially for the 911 GT2 RS, sports tyres measuring 325/30 ZR 19 convert this massive power into equally massive performance and acceleration on the road: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in just 9.8 seconds, and 0 to 300 km/h in 28.9 seconds. Top speed is 330 km/h.
Equally supreme stopping power on this ultra-high-performance sports car comes from PCCB composite ceramic brakes. Appropriate longitudinal and crosswise dynamics are ensured by the sporting RS set-up of the springs, PASM Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management, anti-roll bars, as well as the dynamic engine mounts and PSM Porsche Stability Management.
In its looks the new 911 GT2 RS stands out clearly from the 911 GT2 above all through the lavish use of carbon-fibre-reinforced (CFR) components in matt-black surface finish, even wider wheels and flared wheel arches at the front, new 911 GT2 light-alloy wheels with central locking, as well as “GT2 RS” model designations on the doors and rear lid. The upgraded front spoiler lip and the rear spoiler lip made of CFR and now 10 millimetres or almost 0.4 inches higher, again in surface carbon finish, ensure the right aerodynamic precision as well as extra downforce.
The interior also exudes the flair of sporting performance in virtually every detail, featuring lightweight bucket seats made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic in carbon surface finish and lightweight door panels with door opening straps. The basic interior colour is black, contrasting attractively with features such as the seat centre sections and the roof lining as well as segments on the steering wheel rim. The gearshift and handbrake lever are both finished in red alcantara.
Limited to just 500 units, the 911 GT2 RS will be available in Europe from September 2010, in the USA from October 2010. The Euro base price is 199,500.- Euro. Including VAT and national specifications/equipment the new 911 GT2 RS will retail in Germany at a price of 237,578 Euro.
