    911: 350 hp; cab, coupe, and awd choices

    Boxster: 250 hp

    Both have certain options included.

    What is the marketing strategy here? What buyers are they trying to sell to? Would any of you buy one of these?

    992 Is coming soon So this is an effort to prop up demand for out going car
    Customers gravitate to specials and this is a very nice offering indeed - IMO

    Jaz, actually 992 is still a few years away, what is coming is the Facelifted new engine 991.2 next year. I had a black edition 997 and it is basically a cosmetic options added at a better price point. l loved that car as it was my last manual 911.

    Thank you, the GT3 was incredible, but the chance to spec a new RS was to hard to pass up.

    I have till end of June to change it, but went with Lava Orange, CCB, Sport Chrono, Lift, Lithium Ion Battery, 918 Seats in Leather with Middle in Orange Microfiber, Nav, and a few small things. Saying all that, the GT3 was a fantastic car.

    the impression is that the Black Edition seems to be a marketing effort to clean up the value end the line up, as the basic editions are featured... nothing wrong with getting a Porsche at a better price point
