And in 2019, the ultimate car will cost you $729, 930 (*Not a printing error) So why?Put simply, the MOTOR PERFORMANCE CAR OF THE YEAR is the stuff of dreams. And this year that ultimate dream comes in the form of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS – clearly the most expensive winner ever - which left a hardened panel of judges (including a two-time Bathurst winner) quite simply gobsmacked.
