Looks like they did a run of 77.  It has carbon fiber reinforced plastic bodywork.  I had never heard of that before.  It must be fast with a claimed 340 km/h top end and 0-100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds.

carbon fiber reinforced plastic bodywork = high grade fiberglass

Good dissertation. What would you take? This or a Cobra? The cost is comparable.

Tempting...But I'd go for a nice, little slabside 289 Cobra...Something that's street legal.  BTW, Bob Ingram, the Porsche collector in Durham has one of the 77 935's.

I would opt for the Porsche in this instance.  Everything new and no worries about concourse issues (not that I've worried about that in the past if you know 6s843) and a full tilt race car that tops out at 340 km/h.  Pure adrenaline...

I'll take the Porsche over the Pure Vision use of the colors.
