I think it looks great, but if priced higher than $300k similarly equipped to a 458, Superleggara, or the 12C then I think it misses the mark.

Porsche needs to focus on this car instead of a $850K hybrid that they can't sell.

Nope facts are right! I know about that debacle a few years back. They did another play for VW this year 27th. Porsche major share hollder in VW.

Read about the latest move here:

Edit... Oops, I'm confusing Porsche AG and Porsche SE
My mistake...
"Porsche AG, the sportscar business jointly owned by Porsche SE and Volkswagen, earlier said it more than doubled its operating profit to 496 million euros in the first quarter, with a 10 percent increase in revenue."

According to the Rueters article, Porsche SE (an investment holding co. spun off from Porsche AG in 2009) needs to raise the capital to payoff debts or be merged into the VW group. I think that is what you meant? That is not a takeover by Porsche of VW, it's the other way around..

Either way, I think Porsche needs to build this car. Although the 918 is awesome, the price tag is way too hefty. I am really excited about the possibilities of this 961. I hope they make it and price it in the low to mid 2's. That would be a winner..
