And, if the carbon-ceramic brake option makes production, probably even more. Base price will likely eclipse $70k now that they will have the M3 to fill the $60k-$70k starting price slot. For those who want every last option (thereby negating all the weight savings of the new chassis, incidentally  ), a $90k M4 does not seem unlikely. And that's before we even start talking about the convertible (which of course utterly decimates the weight savings  ). |
I think you nailed it.
$80k for an M4 is ludicrous. For that amount of money you can get some seriously awesome used metal such as a 997.1 GT3, 997.1 Turbo, 997.2 Carrera S or 4S, CLK63 Black series, Maser Granturismo, or Aston DB9 to name a few.
Anybody spending $80K on a car shouldn't mind paying the maintenance on any of those cars.
