The CEO of Porsche revisits the idea of the Porsche priced at 400,000 euros

The rival to the Ferrari 458 Italia that Porsche has been working on for some months has once again received comments from the brand’s CEO, Matthias Müller. In statements to a German newspaper, he returned to the subject of the anti-Ferrari Porsche, saying it is perfectly possible and has a good chance of being built.

What Autobild previously described as a project of about 200,000 euros now has the bar raised even higher, according to Müller himself. The possibility of a Porsche – positioned above the 911 and below the 918 hybrid, perhaps taking over from the Carrera GT – is firm, but it would fall in the range of 400,000 euros.

Nothing is more certain about this Porsche, which some have already nicknamed 961, but the first indications suggest it will not be a hybrid. Instead, it will be an old-school Porsche, perhaps with a twin-turbo V8 engine, so it will not be a hybrid, which would send the price soaring to match the 918 hybrid.
