What do you guys think the engine and price will be like?

 

[TheYoungConnoisseur]

Nobody makes true high end sports car (other than Porsche) in the 110-160 range which I think would be the most desirable price point for those that can just afford a 5-10yr old supercars but don't want the reliability/cost of ownership issues.
The only difference between a 160k car and a 260k car is the price.

Everything offered at the quarter mil price point can also be offered for 100k less with a little effort, maybe not mclaren but everyone else

You've officially lost it...

I'm going with this guy^ , he's an engineer

 

[One_Percent]

Maserati Grantourismo?
Dodge Viper?
MBZ SL63?
Audi R8?

whut.

 

[TheYoungConnoisseur]

You've officially lost it...

So the difference between the R8 & gallardo is 60% more car?


BTW SL63 and Granturismo are not sports cars, I had a GTS 4.7 and was not even a remotely a sports car, just an italian GT car.
Porsche is the only manufacture producing REAL sports cars in that price range with the gt3 & turbo. Astons Vantage is still a sports luxury car and not anywhere near the level of r8 v10 or 911 as a sports car.

Vipers are 110k unless you over pay, local client of mine owns a dodge dealer and is doing 10 off sticker even since nobody wants on. Cool looking car and could be a contender but I havent driven on so I have no opinion.

ZR1 came in under priced (overly expensive z06) or a base corvette with 70k of options if you look at it like that.


Nobody has anything but audi and porsche in that range. Im talking a base car starting in that range, of course you can add 50k worth of options should you choose. Lotus & bmw are more than capable to present a REAL contender in the 150 range

Probably the same boring old 3.8L V8TT. Let me know when McLaren makes something interesting.

McLaren P1: Driven - PistonHeads

The P1 is the bestest, fastest, most exciting car sports/super/hypercar I've driven. Nothing else comes close. -Chris Harris

yup, that 3.8 sounds real boring. Also nothing interesting about the P1 at all.

I guess the upcoming P13 is going to be in this particular price range. The 650S should cost around 300k.

 

[Chris796]

Looking forward to this. I loved the MP4-12c and REALLY love the P1, excited to see their next batch of cars.

 

[srock]

I know you're joking, but this is exactly how I and many others feel. They are robots in a world full of interesting people. If you believe speed is all that makes a car good then you can get it for much cheaper than the P1.

I just want something I can afford with my left over fries and pocket lint.

I don't even want to start a pissing contest because when it comes down to it, it is just a matter of opinion. However, this statement:

The only difference between a 160k car and a 260k car is the price.

Everything offered at the quarter mil price point can also be offered for 100k less with a little effort, maybe not mclaren but everyone else

...is lunacy.

 

[vcruiser]

Lunacy indeed.

Often in sports cars, a big chunk of the price you pay is from engineering and developing the car!

 

[TheYoungConnoisseur]

what you are mainly paying for is to put diesel in the CEO's yacht and exclusivity for low production numbers. economy of scale, and it doesn't need to be a factor of 100 to sell a base 458 for 160k instead of 225.

FYI, toyota spends more on engineering and testing on a corolla than ferrari does to develop a new car.

 

[TheYoungConnoisseur]

To add to it just look at what lambo has been doing. Same car since (02-03 overseas) with some teaks like bumpers gearbox interior bits but 80% of the car is the same for over 10 production yrs. Thats what 5k cars a yr for 10yrs.

Im not saying theres no difference in cost but the lions share of the difference between a R8, 991TT & a gallardo is marking/exclusivity/slightly lower production numbers. Not like they make 50,000 R8's a year do they.

Hmm..

If this is it, I'm unimpressed. Basically a 12c with a P1-esque front end, slightly different side vents and different wheels. Nice interior though.

 

[BLK Tony]

Yeah, not sure how I feel about it. The front doesn't really match the rear now.

 

[Chris796]

Exactly what I was thinking, they shouldve updated the rear if they went ahead and re did the front.
