These have started hitting the reveiw sites, most have the Carmine default car with lots of toys, this one seems to be more standard (no PVT, air suspension and looks like 21" Spyders) and a more balanced reveiw. Makes mention of the GPF and exhaust note, which I thought sounded pretty decent.

Looks like the GTS 4.0 718 is the main event at this release, also interested to see this too.

Enjoy :)

Thanks for sharing. My favourite motoring journalist too! :)

Interesting that he was driving a car on 21” wheels & steel springs, and he said that air suspension wasn’t needed to enhance ride comfort. ;)

Even more interesting is that he's mistaken! This particular car does have air suspension. It doesn't help us all make the correct decisions when motoring journalists get in a muddle.

Shame the car doesn't seem to sound as great as the old one. We can blame the PDF for that.

How can you tell? If it’s from the buttons in the centre console, how can you be sure it’s the same car? Henry Catchpole is an experienced journalist who has an eye for details, and he tends to know his stuff.

Thanks for posting - another glowing reveiw. Looks good in white too, one colour I would add black wheels too.
