The best part is that people will spend insane amounts of money on a car like this…. and then not even drive it.

I all likelihood he probably gets to write it off as a business expense. 

The EPA isn’t stopping Lamborghini from selling a 500 hp car for $150k.

Or…. reality needs to set in and the PE ratio needs to return to “normal”.

I like the idea, but your pricing is way too optimistic.

Yeah, you said it. Yikes! 

Who handed RR the ugly stick?

Shhhhh! Don’t let Elon see this! Do you want half of SpaceX fired overnight? 

Same. I think the “regular” Continental looks better than the Batur. Maybe it’s just Bentley being a victim of their own success; like Aston designing the perfect car back in 2003 with the DB9 and then having nowhere else to go but down from there.

I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t find the Batur to be all that “stunning”. For the price tag, I find that it actually looks quite “ordinary”. There are lots of small design details around the car that on their own are quite attractive and beautiful; they just don’t all add up to make a “beautiful” car in my…

Haven’t you heard? Tesla isn’t a car company, but an AI company; so the answer to your question is: “never”.

Needs a quart of oil every 500 miles… Audi says that’s “within normal operating specifications”… 😬

Facebook Marketplace… also does not fill me with confidence. 

Facebook Marketplace?

Well if that’s the case, then this is clearly an example of a scientific text being misconstrued by mainstream media to make inappropriate inferences for sensationalism. Because you don’t make inferences about an entire population based on a narrow sample of 500.

I’d offer to help, but I’m just an amateur 3D modeler and maker, so the quality of my work probably isn’t up to Porsche standards. My printer can make larger items (350mm x 350mm x 400mm), but I’ve never made something like a headlamp housing before; and I don’t have a 996 lying around to take exact measurements from.…

I wasn’t suggesting you buy that specific kit; was just an example of something someone did. By “custom” I meant to build something for your specific vehicle (or have it made). You could even 3D print new housings; which depending on how you modify the design could negate the need for replacement factory lenses.

Something like this:

I think the aftermarket lights in chrome might blend in a bit better, and may also look better with the yellow tint installed; although I don’t hate the black headlights look.

Have you considered doing a custom retrofit of your current headlights? I’ve seen a few of these online for the 996. Apparently there was a guy in Kansas or Kentucky doing those.
