Who was the original owner? These were definitely cars with a fascinating history, especially for US owners (but not drivers).

European version???

When it was released it would do things nothing else could. I remember when they came out. The design is less appealing to me than it was then, but it is still hot as heck.

That car had more technology in it than any other car within even 8-10 years after its release. Its the Veyron of its time. It was amazing. Its not worth 300k unless you are maybe Jerry Seinfeld

Oh man, definitely one of my favorite Porsches of all time. It definitely was one of the hottest looking cars when it first came out.
