After you crash in one while chasing your own stolen car, you like it less... I still like them :)

Jeremy Clarkson loves it too. Note the rear wheel drive episode

It's actually a damn good car, very fast for its day (even though today an RS Focus should be able to beat it in a straight line).

Watching that Top Gear episode actually supported my view that I was a bit weird!

But looking at that pic MidEngine4Life....how can you not like that?!

Looks even better with (photoshopped) BBS wheels

Of course. I was being sarcastic.

There was a rumor of a Carrera GT replacement few years back, but in a lower down market. Perhaps this is a preview.

Porsche 918 Hybrid - Pics and Video.

Sounds like they ARE going to build it!

718 combined horsepower, rumored to lap the 'Ring faster than a Carrera GT!

Rumor has it the 918 is having a VERY difficult time getting pre-order deposits in. $800,000 is a lot harder to swallow than the 450k +- the CGT was.

Not to mention the car hasn't really shown us anything to get excited about.
