I love 911s, but is this a cynical marketing ploy to boost sales & profit prior to a new model, like the recently announced 'Exclusive' version of the Macan Turbo PP.

Yellow is a nice colour choice though ;)

- PTV incl. mechanical diff as standard (not available on the base Carrera)
- short shift with shorter gear ratios with the sublime 7-speed manual gearbox.
- upgraded suspension.

;)

I like it, as a baby 911 GT, with the no-cost option of rear seats. :D

Poor mans GT3 and with the lowest engine power in the range. Would be the first model scored off my 911 list.

20 mm, it's a sport suspension. ;)
Also, rear wheel steering is an optional extra, that is not available on a base Carrera.

GT3 Touring as lovely as it is, is not available to mere mortals due to it's price and very limited availability.
There's also the N/A and manual 911 R which too is unavailable.

So this is a good "reasonably" priced version of a new 911 with the important driver bits included and enough power to enjoy driving it enthusiastically.

Model T - 85k, GTS - 95k. I'd be inclined to save up a bit more and get the GTS! I think Porsche are taking the Mickey with this version.
Current:
992 Turbo (July 23)
MG4 EV Trophy Long Range
VW Caravelle 6.1 4motion DSG
Suzuki Swift Sport

I think this will be the new sweet spot for the 911 range. More power than you can realistically use, but comes with all the things you’d chuck on a base careers for less money.
The GTS hit 100k pretty quickly. This for 15k less and very few options required (pcm is £200 if you chuck the chronic stopwatch and track app on.
I reckon I could get my perfect spec for 86-87k.
With rear wheel steering, this’d be an awesome steer.

Less seriously... do we detect a change of direction?

Ha ha! I'd love to get back in a 911, Mike, but family responsibilities require four proper seats for the time being. Hence the Panamera 4, and the letter of intent for the Mission E. :)
