Believe it or not, most rich people are pretty frugal and take a lot of time before making big purchases. Crazy rich people, probably not, but they’re probably buying a GT2 RS and not a base Carrera.
OHWHATDA
ohwhatda
I think the spoiler looks pretty bad if you’re looking at the 911 from behind. But from the side or the front, it actually looks better than the current spoiler on the 991.1/.2. From the side it looks almost like a Turbo wing.
I can’t wait for Acura to get on board now with their own yacht!
Dependably making your Mercedes dealership a killing on service and repairs.
More hardcore than a Base/S 992? Most definitely. More hardcore than a 992 GT2 RS? Better start selling more moonshine, cause you gonna need Bugatti money to pull that off.
I’ve been looking at a lot of 992 spy shots, and following the Rennlist 992 threads, and here’s a quick guide to what still isn’t fully revealed/final form in these photos:
WOKE.
I can’t stand the Jewel Eye headlights. Look terrible and conveys more “Anime Girl”, and less “Aggressive Fast Car”
I’m not saying your Corvette isn’t reliable, reliability is always a roll of the dice, but if Consumer Reports is giving it a straight four years of the worst possible rating for reliability, then something isn’t right and people are reporting problems.
In LA, everyone and their brother has a Mercedes/BMW/Audi. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one and thought they probably have a chauffeur. Here, they’d have to be driving a Rolls Royce for that maybe to be true, and even then it’s probably someone from Glendale who got a 12 month lease for like $2,000 a month and they…
I echo this sentiment. I also live on a coast, and would never purchase a Corvette in a million years. It might also be a generational thing, as I’m in my mid 30's. A Corvette can keep up with or beat on the track a lot of 911's for the fraction of the price. However, it doesn’t make sense to work your ass off for…
Not only is 200 miles not competitive, but the 7.4 kW charging capacity means that if you’re going on a road trip and inevitably have to charge due to low range, then you’ll be sitting there for 40-60 minutes to get about 80%+ of a charge. It’s like Mercedes saw all the bars being set by the Model 3, iPace, and Taycan,…
Since new Corvette’s already have garbage reliability, you’re probably right, they shouldn’t make things any more complex than they are right now
I’m glad you mentioned that the Porsche GT boss already confirmed the next GT3 with be NA. It would make zero sense to add turbos to the next GT3 and just piss every enthusiast off. Each model serves its own purpose and niche and turbos belong on the GT2. Autocar is full of shit.
GTS will easily be $135-140k with the same features that T has. But yeah if you spec the GTS pretty bare boned it might only be 10-15K more (doesn’t come standard with PDCC/rear steering).
Personally I’d get an S any day because strap door handles don’t appeal to me. But this car will apeal to the 911 enthusiasts whose budget might be limited but they want PDCC and Rear Steering. An S with those features is probably 10-15K more.
Heated steering wheel is optional. Porsche let’s you spec it however you like, so if you want to cram a lot of comfort features into a car meant to be as lightweight as possible, that’s up to you. But if you want a cruiser with all the comfort bells and whistles just get a Base or S.
I agree on the luxury car depreciation. I want to buy a CPO Porsche 911 in a few years. Fortunately they drop a solid 20-30K in just 2-3 years (mostly due to any options immediately losing 75% of their value) and then they have a nice slow depreciation curve from there. I would have loved to spec my own car but I…
