Alas, no. And much as I salute Porsche for building manuals I like PDK. Would love an RS Spyder though

My personal preference for PDK aside, that S/T looks like the most fantastic piece of kit (esp in dark green which would be my choice too). Think I read that AP has never owned a GT car, but has declared that he will own one of these. Now that's endorsement 8-)

OhhhhhhhhhhhhhMan.........

Im away out to check my recycling bin! I must have thrown my exclusive invite that arrived in the mail to purchase one of these out thinking it was another bit of "Junk" mail from Porsche... :oops: :oops:

I hope I find it before the bin lorry arrives tomorrow morning ;) ;)

That is endorsement indeed! So, only 1,962 left. I wonder how AP will spec his...

Will be interesting to hear how it drives as:

It doesn't have RWS, which the other double wishbone 911's have. No idea what the reasoning or significance of that decision is, but RWS is very noticeable on mine - the first time I've had a car with it

They've set it up for road use vs track, which I guess means a slightly more compliant route. Will it be the very best modern 911 to drive on our roads?

I heard the absence of RAS is to save weight and avoid added complexity, for a more analogue/raw feel?

A reviewer was saying the lighter flywheel and clutch (lighter in weight) will take more skill & concentration in changing gear.

I’m sure the purists will rave about it.

All a bit pointless really, as I’m sure they’re all sold to VIPs, flippers, investors and speculators. All the rave reviews will do is inflate their values even more. Let’s see... ;)

Agree re all of the above.

Saw the film last night. Charmingly done I thought

The want is strong. Sadly the bank account isn't.
