981 S/gts, get a fully loaded one. Its light, nimble, mid engined,sound amazing and has more than enough power for the streets and track. In fact, a slower car has become more fun 4-5 sec. This 911 may as well be a Taycan now.

Around $164K USD MSRP right out the gate, then add options along with Porsche dealership add ons, then we’re looking at well over $200K…911’s are not getting any cheaper, other than black or white, other colors are an option to include guards red!

@@MrNufzed it’s crazy, I’ve been looking to swap my car and a 991 Carrera T is still well over £70k it’s a 2018. There are McLaren 570GT’s going for the same money and that looks super car money. Madness how well Porkers hold their money for what they are really. I was looking at a 997.2 GTS about 5 years ago. It started life at £50k and in a few weeks was over £60k the same car. It was ancient at the time 🤣 there’s far more GT products for sale than normal Carreras too yet they hold their money like nothing else. Fair play to Porsches marketing department on that one like.

That's a really daft argument about the hybrid system. You could say the same about overboost. Or turbos in general. Or 4 wheel-drive. Or indeed the back seats. They're all unnecessary when you're not using them. Which is most of the time.

I think I’ll be more interested in a naturally aspirated flat 6 with that supplemental hybrid motor. Peak power at 6500 with redline at 7500 makes me think it won’t be as inspiring to rev out as some Porsches from the past. Will the GT3 be similarly hybridized in its next iteration?

@@Mojbojwoj because if you have young kids they can go in the back and enjoy days out with you, your other half and the car. Alternatively if a mate wants a lift somewhere locally they can fit in the back. In fact I managed to take my two teenage sons to Le Mans and all three of us had a brilliant long weekend. None of this is possible without rear seats so the demand for cars with them will always be higher.

The base Carrera is enough for everyday driving in the real world.. City streets... In the hands of the typical driver (no competition racing background) .. The GTS only reduces or "eliminates' ( some reviewers say it's gone and others say it's Sunday 4.... Then dinner 4 say with the base the Turbo lag is gone when I'm Sport Mode but it's noticeably in Normal Mode Heh..... Is this difference with 6 the extras $30k?? It the 1.2s quicker to 60mph time you won't notice in the referral world??
