I’ve seen a few Cayenne Coupés in the metal and I like the look of them. Black suits them, I think.

Hope you get a good trade in on the GTS. How many miles have you done in it?

Cheers,
Only 5000 miles but then lots of the miles I do nowadays isnt suitable for a 911 so once I get past the purely fun drives it just sits in the back of the garage. I did loss quite a bit on the GTS but got what I thought was a fair price especially given the keen price I negotiated on the Cayenne.
I'm not sure the new 992 is that big an improvement especially on a GTS 991 so fancy a different direction for a while. I always liked big SUVs and the Hybrid seems the next thing so worth a try.

Hey guys,

There is a lovely white 992s in Belfast OPC, 2k miles, well specced and circa £98k and I think a few pounds could be haggled off. Deffo worth a look, I don’t think it’s a demo - red belts so pretty personal.

Rab you would get rid of your GTS no worries 😊. Wait for a Taycan?

On a different note, our 992s has a build date, rolling off the line 27th Jan. Delivery March or so.....Mrs Simon very excited, money down and locking next week

Spec if you are interested - http://www.porsche-code.com/PLXDLWK3

I did see that 992 today and I think it might one of their launch cars so some nice extras.
If your a Porsche guy or girl the 911 itch is certainly something that just has to be scratched, and the 992 like its predecessor is a fantastic car and an experience not to be missed.

Must admit to getting itchy feet too...but I just have to sit in the 911 and wouldn't change it.

Agree re hybrids...the electric range is pretty useless and then you're lugging a heavy battery round with a petrol engine...not the most economical of solutions. If it had, say a range of 50 miles, I' swap the cayenne and Zoe for a hybrid

I'll try and keep my itchy feet to my lego collection :-) lol

I think lots of us love cars and find it difficult to ignore something different to what we have. I think a very high percentage of those on here, even those with alleged "keepers" would have to admit to regularly playing with the configurator. :?

Only to build a 992 C4S to get a comparison with my GTS. Interestingly a C4S with the same spec comes out very close in price to the GTS. Very interested to see how much the 992 GTS will be when it comes out.
