The 996 was around 89K.
With X50 it got up to 97K.
The new turbos must cost more than the current ones, and you now get 6 pot callipers and bigger brakes.
They mention that it has an aluminium bonnet and doors, but all 997s have an aluminium bonnet (don't they?), although I am not sure about the doors. So I don't think that accounts for any of the costs.
I reckon the cost is justifiable. Whether people will like it or not is a different matter, since with a couple of options all cars are going to be in 6 figures now. Whether this is a psychological hurdle or not, I don't know, but it made me think when I specced mine.
They had to cut their sales price a few years ago, in order to harmonise the proces across Europe. They have probably been waiting for the new model to introduce a new higher harmonised price.

Looks like a Gemballa GTR 750 EVO.
Sounds like a trade price to me. On the other hand I know of a 15000 miles 2003 very heavy spec car circa 103K new that was traded in against a heavy spec 997C4S Cabrio apparently for as little or as much [
],depending on whether you are buying or selling, £57K [] So maybe the older cars are out there down in the mid 30's [&o]
The wheels are a bit to blingy for me.
