They made an average of about $22,000 of profit per car last year, they can afford it.

I wonder if car manufactures take out insurance against massive recalls like this.

9000rpm redline in a boxer engine causes connecting rod failures? Whoddathunkit. :lol:

True that!! Reputation is everything & how you handle problems when they happen say's a lot about your company!! I'll still buy one.

As far as recalls go though they've never had it as bad as the American Car Companies & Toyota.

Considering the car and the engine in question, it probably costs them damn near that much to replace each engine.

But it will earn them more repeat business in the long run.

Absolutely.

That was a pretty epic fuck up... Esp in today's day and age and given that the car is 60 years into the development cycle ...

770 cars is easy to do compared to models with a million plus on the road.

and considering how many development hours go into the gt3's. atleast we wont see scorched gt3's all over the news anymore like the 458's and gallardo's which have been popular for burning.

But the 458, had some glue issue kind of an easy fix. An engine replacement is absolutely embarrassing and unacceptable

Maybe they will drop the removed engines in a new model Cayman R that will destroy everything....

There's got to be some sort of re-use plan. Though I think it's a new motor, isn't it?
