Whats it like?

Ok... here we go. I have been driving the Turbo S for about a week as an everyday car. Dont get me wrong, my M5 was a really impressive car and fast. But this thing is on a different planet. It's always ready to go, it has torque there all the time and its delivery is instant and alive. Turn in is amazing and you feel very connected to the road. Lateral grip is unbelievable, will update once I get it to the track and will post a couple of interior photos and a couple more of the dealership... I mean my house!

Couple more things. This is my first go with another brands technology. I have been using idrive for 8 years or so. I like the Porsche stuff too. Its not quite as clever, but it is pretty good to use. Phone connections are all pretty good etc along with Bluetooth streaming. My car has the 18 way seats and they are amazing. Double clutch gearbox is very fast and seamless.

So how fast is it? Check out these two vids. The first one is the Turbo S being thrashed around a track in the UK and the second is the 991 GT3 RS, same driver / track and pretty surprising result.





Go well...
Craig in New Zealand

Congrats! After M5, I moved to P car as well but I got C2S as M5 was too fast for me. =)
I miss comfort of M5 time to time but bringing P car to dealership (for any service) is really a joy since I feel like a kid in the toy store (with 918s, GT2, GT3RS etc. of amazing collections in the showroom floor).

Hi Mate, Thankyou very much for the offer, very kind of you. Ive never been to Essex , but i will be there on Sunday morning about 6.30 am ?.This Porsche is my dream atm, and if i won the lottery tonight, it would probably be the first and only thing i would rush out and buy.My last Porsche was a new 997 Turbo, back in 2008, which i didnt keep long, but im sure the 991TT moves performance along somewhat. You are a lucky chappy, i will have to make do with my M4 for a while longer yet, kind regards, SIMON.
