Not to mention the options list...will seriously make your head spin. I'd venture to guess that many of the 911s sell with at least $35k in options. Leather-covered A/C vents? But of course!
Yeah but they double as pick up trucks ----- Just ask Lillard!!!
I forgot about the 918 and I think the GT3 RS is what was sitting in the Bellevue showroom...black, lots of carbon, very racy looking. It was used and still close to 200k.
The only Porsche besides your SUV I've ridden in, was a mid 80's 911 with a big ole whale tail. Very basic, real mechanical and so much fun! That launch control sounds like a hoot, you'll have to show me and let me know if it still works with 250lbs of ballast in the passenger seat.

When I worked for Porsche in 1989, I priced out a Custom 911 with every accessory and the price of the car almost doubled
Basher --- 450 to 500K for a Singer --- "only" 200ish for a new 911 Turbo S.
The 911 Turbo S is all wheel drive and has a feature (did I show you when you were here?) called "launch control". With a couple buttons - you set the brake with your foot - mat the throttle and lift off the brake and away you go! Hard!
It's so much fun!
The 911 Turbo S is their "top of the line" 911 for street use...... the 918 Spyder is the top of the line Porsche... at around a million and a half bucks USED. It's "almost" as quick. LOL
They make a 911 GT3 RS that is a very competent track car as well as street use and it's around $175K base price --- kinda their Pro Touring version you might say? But it's not as quick in acceleration at 3.1 secs 0-60..... it's REAR WHEEL DRIVE vs all wheel drive.
Frankly -- I've never been able to keep track of all the models Porsche makes just in the 911 version! Porsche shows 16 different models for the 911 line up.
