The back of it is confusing me!!!
Think it’s the standard rear bumper (not Sport Design) with lots of white protective tape stuff still on bits of the bodywork... 🤔
The protective bit makes it looks like it has squared off arches!!

Bet it’ll look good fully prepped and under the showroom lights :D

Nice! The purists (with way more talent than me) often seem to prefer the Carrera 2 over the AWD version. :)

Any pics from PEC...?

I didn't take any, but the wife did -

It was pretty busy yesterday. The tracks got a little crammed due to the amount of Taycans going round, mega quick on the straights but sloooooow through the corners. Was a shame really cause it stopped your rhythm.

Spotted a few folk taking pictures of ours in the carpark. Panicked the first time cause I thought they'd hit the car and taking pictures of the damage, went a checked and it was all good.

I came from a series of fast 4 wheel drive cars and was tempted by the 4S and decided to man up just get the 2S and I’ve not had any moments yet….

I tried 4S at pec before confirming spec of mine and the 2s was purer and you could sense less weight over the front
Snap, last 3 cars have been 4 wheel drive (4 if I include the Macan) and wasn't sure what the grip levels would be like, not really sure why you'd need a 4s now after driving the 2s.
Awesome cars, Macan and 911 is pretty much the perfect stable! 8-)

That yellow 911 still downstairs - obviously can’t sell it for being such a bad colour …….. :mrgreen:

I do like the look of those anniversary Boxster - I bet that is a great car.

They said the cars would be unlocked so we could look around them, but only the Taycan was open. The wife wanted to buy the Yellow 911 there and then, she really misses our old Imola Yellow S3.

Boxter is nice, but not a massive fan of the red interior, but I understand why it has it.

Ha ha!! :lol: 💛

I agree on that Boxster 25 Year Anniversary Edition - future classic for sure, especially in that ‘launch spec’. 4.0 naturally aspirated = lovely! 8-)

Love how those cheerful colours (yellow, red and Miami) pop in the sunshine! :D

Have you tried to enter or leave the back seat? I tried on one on the Goodwood FOS BMW stand about 2 years ago. Very awkward basically a two seater apart for agile children.
