The USD figure is within the price range i was told to expect by the dealer when I put down the deposit here in UAE.

 

Totally agree. I'm disappointed.

 

The new top models of the 911 model series arrive on the market at the end of 2013 in the United States. The 911 Turbo is priced from $148,300 while the 911 Turbo S begins at $181,100, not including a destination charge of $950.

how much is it on Dubai ??

and do u have VAT ?? if you do how much is it and whats the basic price without it


thanks

 

Agree with others, IMO the new GT3 looks better.

Maybe some of the "old" 997 RS's will come available in the next couple years.

 

No confirmed price given yet. I spoke to the dealer today and he said he will confirm by Sunday or Monday (its the weekend here today). But our 911 prices generally arent too far off US prices. We do not have VAT here in the UAE. Will update you with confirmed pricing once i hear back. The guide I was given about a month back was $177k - 190k for the Turbo S so at 181 thats smack in the middle of that price range.

 

I don't know why but i find the car looks too high, a little oversized and something wrong with the proportions. Love the new GT3 but the TT looks off I'm hoping the pictures don't do it justice.

 

Not feeling it at all, the GT3 is ten times better looking. But I'm sure it will be a big performer.

 

im just disjointed

 

I think the Turbo is absolutely gorgeous !! In my opinion the biggest criticism of the 991 in general was that its luxury drew away from the traditional simplicity found inthe earlier 911 cars. In fact its part of the reason why i feel the 991 Gt3 is NOT "the one" to get . The idea of a Panamera style console in a Gt3 is outrageous . I also feel that a manual gearbox almost seems ill suited for the interior .

The turbo has always been the car which combines luxury with power . This time it's the ideal choice of the 991 model line up !!! It's turbo engines spool and almost sound like a low level flying jet . In silver the car actually looks like a spaceship !! It's amazing !!!

Comfort. style. Porsche reliability, all the techno goodies , it's as perfect as a car can get !!

I want one !! The only problem is that I find myself so spoiled by the space that I have in my cars like the M3 and cayenne that I rarely drive my 997 Turbo . When I drive it I do love it but its just not practical for me at age 55 anymore . Replacing 3 cars too frequently can really add up when the prices keep jumping 20 and 30 percent a la Porsche.
I also spent the last 6 years worrying about dings and road debris and the idea of spending nearly 200K to subject myself to this type od worry all over again with a car that isn't practical for me is tough to digest.

I don't know what I will end up deciding but I really like this car !!!

 

listen, dont worry bout dings etc. drive the car, I've kept miles low on a car and got maybe $700 more at trade in time, big deal. Enjoy the car. As for the console, a Porsche rep in Germany told me the new console is NOT a Panamera console, both the Panamera and 991-911 have Carrera GT inspired consoles

 

Well, the Turbo hasn't looked as good as the GT3 since the 997.1 versions of both models so I'm not too surprised about that.

 

Fixed.

Just kidding.

 

I honestly can't think of a more practical sports car than a 911 Turbo. You must be pretty tall. I'm 5'9" and I have no issues doing 400+mile (each way) road trips in my 997-based RT12 with my two oldest kids (6 and 7 yr olds, baby stays home with Mommy on these outings) riding along.
As for worrying about dings, etc: My car was about $400k when new (paid less since it was pre-owned, but it was still way more than a new 997TT would be) and one of a small handful in the US. That doesn't stop me from enjoying it. All I do is park a little further out than normal (when I can) and have a full clear bra installed. I drive it the way it was meant to and this goes for all the cars in my sig. Taking this into account, I never stress about little things like dings and debris, I just enjoy driving. Why live in regret or in fear? Buy it and enjoy the damn car!!!

 

Nobody said anything about this, so I'll address it. This car is going to be an awesome performer, but is anyone else disappointed that after much speculation, it isn't a Tri-Turbo? They ended up sticking with twin turbos, which as we all know is fine, but the thought of having the third turbo in the car in a sequential manner was pretty cool. I know, just more un-needed weight, moving parts to break etc. But the Tri-Turbo rumors had me excited. The speculations on the new BMW's tri-turbo seem really interesting too.
