I wouldn’t trust the prior owners at all. If you think $20K is going to cover known and inevitable mechanical issues … good luck. And you’ll...
I think Hammond’s point is that Andreas Preuninger and team know the optimal configuration for the highest performance 911s. If you’re paying for...
Richard Hammond makes a similar point in his GT3 drive video: [MEDIA] He states the obvious, that Porsche knew what they were doing with the GT3...
That sums up my perspective on the direction of modern cars. There are enough well looked-after classic sports cars that I don’t worry about it....
The Honda Civic Type R was apparently 1.7 percent of total Civic production last year. I don’t know what percentage of 911s were GT3s, but half of...
I saw my first one on the road today in La Quinta, California. Very distinctive. Not beautiful.. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
It’s sad, but as a brand it’s hard to place in today’s market. Land Rover is easy — it’s the blue blood of SUVs and inimitably British. Jaguar...
Good summary. I think it’s all relative. The 996 came between the revered 993 and the widely hailed 997. That’s a tough neighborhood. I’ve driven...
Classic plate. [emoji4] There probably are miserable purists, but having owned two Ferraris and now on my third Porsche (second 911), I’ve really...
Morgan still uses ash wood in its frames. Maybe the 992.2 could offer this. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Now we’ll see queues and markups for the final pure IC 911s. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Not surprised. Knowing Porsche it will be more about performance than emissions, but it’s another layer of complexity. Given the insane...
Maybe it’s a British thing, and definitely vintage, as you say. “Dashboard” implies wood as the main component so at some point wood was expected....
That's always been my reaction. I tend to think of 911s as purposeful sports cars. I can't imagine a 356 or 550 with gratuitous wood, and the 911...
PCA valuation and tech guru Nathan Merz did a recent buyers’ guide video on the 996 and suggested that the interior wood option didn’t add to the...
I agree, the slant nose IMHO ruins the 911 design, but the market apparently values them for their rarity. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Granted it’s a 964 Turbo S flat nose, and low mileage; https://www.marshallgoldman.com/used-vehicle-1994-porsche-911-turbo-s-flatnose-c-3091/...
I didn’t even like Espadas, but this is enough to convert anyone. Stunning work. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
That’s the whole lease rationale. Make the first buyer deliriously happy and then after that … who cares. Porsche is proud of the fact that 70...
Sounds special, actually...
