The Performante is not some magical car.
It's a little bit lighter and a tad more HP, but people are putting it on a "P" pedestal. Just don't understand it.

So, why are many dealers calling people on the phone trying to sell their allocations? Why are Perfs languishing for sales on the 'cars for sale sites' for more than 3 weeks with no takers?
If the car was so great.... They would be snapped up immediately.
The hype doesn't live up to the reality.

Like to see the sales data on that because the only ones I've seen for sale are well above full retail. And yes, I have one that just arrived in the US.
Also the aerodynamics and changes to suspension and handling are the major differences from the original H. Those changes primarily, made the car run the Ring faster than nearly all others.
The knock on the Perf or the H, are that they are slow in a straight line. BUT, the supercharged versions of the 610 seem largely unbeatable by the likes of stock McLaren's (including the 720), Porsche's (GT3' etc.), and other supercars. They are shockingly fast for an added $35-40k.
The Perf is a track car - and it already destroys most other cars with higher average velocity through turns. And with a supercharger, it will be a destroyer in a straight line too. What more would an owner want than a car that lays every other car to rest for under $400k?
Just one man, one opinion.

Sorry, but "nearly" and "most" doesn't cut the mustard with these supercars. Being close is good in horseshoes and grenades.
If you want to sell cars for "well over full retail", it better blow everything else into the weeds.
And, as for adding a supercharger .... there is always someone who can rejigger any car to be faster than the stock version.
The right way is to compare: Stock vs. Stock.

Ok, now you're trying to look smart and start controversy. Show me some sales figures that prove this car isn't selling.
FWIW, like many, I could give a crap about "stock vs. stock." Obviously there's always somebody who has a faster car - that'll get a "no shit Sherlock" response from me. As for the Perf, it has a proven itself on the track - stock. Clearly you have an agenda and chose to stick to your arguments, but it's obvious it wouldn't take much to make this car smoke others on the road, straight line or not.
Screw it - I'm going to let the VF guys respond. This is pointless.
