My friend has a white one on order, it's scheduled for delivery on 10/28. Those carbon fiber mirrors are like a $1700 option, but for that price they include a power folding feature, great for Europe but not really usefull here. Anyway his dealer received his first unsold unit last week, red one without the fixed wing and we got to take it for a test drive. I was pleasantly surprised by the suspension tuning, I expected a much harsher ride. Engine is awesome with excellent driveability. My head was hurting afterward.....0 to 60 in something like 4 seconds. Car is hard to launch hard with the manual trans. Too bad the U.S won't be getting the DSG with launch control. I can't understand why it isn't available here.
Price isn't too bad considering the performance.
Anyway I know where there is a red one available immediately here in Michigan
