Do you know what inflation is? All new car prices are rising.
@OurRideLife5 күн бұрын
Oh is that the thing that is making everything cost more? The current inflation rate in the US is 2.6% annually as of October, 2024. Based on the previous MSRP of $185,550 at that inflation rate the bew GT3 should go up about $4,825. It isn’t so much that it went up, it’s that it went up so much with only minimal value in mainly new gear ratios and a facelift. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@meepcheep314 fair enough. The main difference is gear ratios and updated styling for the GT3. The gear ratios should help on the track, but most buyers won’t track them and it isn’t worth it on the road. With the touring package you can now option back rear seats. There are also carbon fiber seats with folding functions. There are also things like exclusive colors, but at a high level those are the big items. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

ohhhh...the headlight explanation is not factual. Even though it is repeated constantly, it is just the opposite of what is believed. The GT1 race car got the headlight design from the 986 / 996, not the other way around. Look at the original GT1 in 1996, it had the 993 headlights and tail lights. Then the 1997 GT1 got the 996 / 986 headlights. Its a case of "tell the story enough, it becomes accepted."
@OurRideLife11 күн бұрын
Fair point and I do believe that the road legal GT1’s with the 993 headlights do fetch a bit more cash.

I believe Paul Elio was sincere when he first started out, but now the company needs to stop stringing us along.

I know people keep complaining by saying it looks like unrelated cars, but when you look at it, the overall silhouette actually looks like a Gallardo, the predecessor to the huracan. The way I see it, Lamborghini took design elements from three things. 1. The huracan 2. The gallardo 3. The new Hexagonal design style they’ve adapted My take on this is that it’s a mix of those three elements, and they think it looks strange because they’re only comparing it to the huracan. Or they just don’t like the design without comparison and that’s fine.
