Is the Porsche 992 Carrera 2S the best drivers 911 ?

- Which is the best 911 to buy ? Could the current entry level 992 be the pick of the bunch ? Thanks to Porsche UK, I got the keys to the 450 horsepower Carrera 2S for a couple of days to put it through it's paces and find out for myself.
A very impressive car to drive, but not without faults. Could the fact it is not as fast as some of it's 911 siblings actually mean it is the best drivers 911 ?

this looks so good in white with the black bits,.... and those wheels too .
If i had the money , i wouldn't think twice
Great video and honest review. I really like this 992 and love the new look rear end. I would certainly be very happy with the entry level but I agree the price is too much.
The drive for constant progress really is silly these days. I get why Porsche have to do it, but 110K for a ‘sports car’ is crazy. This thing offers supercar performance and quite frankly, it doesn’t need to. Cars need to be lighter, simpler, and cheaper with less tech.
Sorry but compared with other sports cars it’s a bargain! Those kind of numbers for 110k is impressive!
The Cayman and Boxter cater to that market.
Get a Cayman or Boxster...
Steve Jovan I have to agree. I just picked of a 2009 S that stickered at 98k new! If you think about it, this 992 is really a bargain!
I have sold a base 997 and a 9974s both for a bit more than what I paid. I picked up 991s Cabriolet in ruby red metallic as a great opportunity came up and I only had to invest a bit extra to get it.
Love the way you present enthusiastic yet balanced reviews instead of just gushing over a car. Beautiful car by the way (think I`d have been gushing) 👍
I try very hard to be balanced 👍
Fantastic review Pete. Honest, clear, video production is excellent and the pups were in it! Really like this from Porsche, definitely on my watch list. peace and respect, Ben
Cheers Ben 👍
Not sure how I missed this review!? But wow what a great looking and sounding car! Definitely not a price range for me but a 911 turbo is definitely a dream car. This version of a 911 is just cool. That spoiler was cool. Great review sir Pete!!
Unless you need/want a manual, the base is the best. I have had both a base and a 2S 992, and the 2S is a beast but the base just feels more balanced. The S has TON of torque and it can handle it but it feels like too much. I wish you could get the manual on the base, thats the only reason to get an S, IMHO.
Loved the review Thankyou for this
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Good review mate. I reckon you’re right too, better to have a fast manageable car than something off the charts. Great car.
Cheers 👍
Great video as usual. But my favourite bit was the petrol pup following you at the beginning 😄
I though she might steel the show 😂
Great review as always started with your channel I had a S4 loved it,your review on the RS4 helped my decision bought one love it, this review has done it again traded in my Boxer waiting for the 992
Keep up the good down to earth reviews
Wow Paul, this is great to know. Glad I have been helpful 👍
great review, 911 will always be the car what other sports cars are judged by
Great video mate! As always. Bless mate
Thanks Gary 🙏
Yes the C2S is the sweet spot for sure. I've owned two and can't wait for this one!
Great review! Fabulous car, definitely the sweet spot in the range. I’d love one..
Cheers Andrew 👍
Just happy to own a 997.1 Carrera S. An enjoyable review, well done.
Lovely car 👌
The thud at 5:35 is one of the greatest sounds ever recorded, you can actually hear the Porsche quality.
It’s my new favourite Porsche also love the spoiler on the boot! I would have it in a different colour tho Ped 👍🏻 Great review mate btw! ⭐️
I like Miami Blue 👍
Great video well presented lovely car! The entry model fine for me with extras! Just the colour.
Cheers 👍
Great Video Review
Cheers Jamie 👍
Great vid once again and I have to agree with you that is a lot of money for an “entry level car .... even if it’s a Porsche ! I had all three of the posters on my wall as well !!👍🏻🇨🇦
Since I made this video they have announced the 992 Carrera 2 which will be the new entry level from £82k I think 👍
Quality car, quality review Pete. An aspirational purchase. All the best.
Cheers Darren. Absolutely 👌

I took delivery of my 992 C4S Oct 15, and have done 6,200 miles on it. Winter tires allow superb driving in snow and ice, and the wet mode actually does what they say it will do. In wet mode, it also transfers some of the rear wheel power to the front, closes the front flaps, adjusts the wing accordingly, lowers the RPM, and makes for a much safer car in the wet. I have rear steering, front lift, 360 camera, steering plus, colored belts, tach and sport Chrono. Basically, I’ve done everything to this that I could throw at it, and it just teases me for more. The standard brakes are phenomenal. I could go on, but this is really quite the car. And good review, Pete. BTW, putting the car in Sport Mode takes the car out of start/stop function and auto turns on sport exhaust. You could go to Indiv Mode and make those changes automatically, but I’m just happy being where I’m at with this at this time.
Hello, I'm thinking of buying a 911 991.2 4s as the 992 4s is too pricey for me at the moment. Would you advise a 992 2S?
Alright Pete, great review mate, I love the Porsche but can't get my head around the price sadly. So many other cars I would buy in a lower price bracket. My favourite Porsche ever would be the 911 GT3s crazy price, crazy spec but I would like to own one for just 6 months, as I'm sure my arthritic spine couldn't take any more than that to be honest lol. Keep up the great work 👍🏁 Bedroom posters were a Tickford Turbo Capri, and a Works Ford Escort Mexico 😁👍
Great poster choices 👏
Hello pal. I have to admit I don’t know the differences. You are sooooo lucky. I do love it’s duck tail.
Nice video. I think these days the list price is not much of consideration in the world of finance.. it will be how much how much per month? I love 911 as own a classic the 992 is just gorgeous!
Great review as usual. I realize this is an older video, but you can modify the instrument layout to a minimal setting and it’s much easier to see everything because it’s condensed. That’s what I did in my Carrera S manual…cheers!
Thanks for the info!
Awesome , Awesome, Awesome .. Know what you mean with them displays , I think i would get quite irritated with that . I mean what a car , The price OMG !! Great work Pete
Glad you enjoyed it Lee 👍
What a peach of a car mate! Not to sure about that back end.Pure drivers car the Porsche.Cracking video Pete 🏎💨🍻👍 For me the Porsche drives better with a mid engine 😊 Not to keen on the price though 😂
Hi mate, looking forward to this one 💖💖💖💖
Hi there 👋
How you answer this question could define our relationship going forward 😃😃😃 massive 911 fan here .... I'll get back to you after the video
I'll keep my fingers crossed 😜😂
@@PetrolPed 😃😃 all good mate - whilst I'd not kick a GT3 out of the garage - the base 911's are the sweet ones to me ... Mind, at £100k+ I'll keep buying used !!!!
That t shirt is cool 🤘🏼
9:33 shows off the stunning 993 like arches and that classic hood. It's stunning in person, cant wait to order the standard Carrera.
Sure is a car with presence 👍
Thought the exact same thing. Looks good.
Hi Ped
Another great video, and welcome back to the super star PUPS🥰🥰🥰 As a very fortunate owner of 991
(Gen1) Carrera 4 S Cabrio, I find the comparison very interesting. I have always maintained the Carrera is
most useable as a daily driver, great build and reliability so far! My pet hate is the dash, unable to view the
Two outer dials. Price would be an issue on the 992, but for half the price one could find a 991 at half
the price.
Thought you might like this one 👍
I have a 997.2 and I feel like it holds its value well. But the new Porsches will not hold their value as a percentage of purchase price. If in the USA, 997s are 30-50,K and 991s are 40-60K used (40,000 miles say), then sure 992s will settle in at between 50-70K second hand in 3 years. They are worth more, but also not as DIY friendly. That aspect will quickly knock value off as they run out of warranty. 997s are not scary to own secondhand, but each generation ties you more and more to the dealer and then high end mechanics. Not fun. There are options, like would you drop 70K on a new C8 Corvette with warranty, or the same money on a out of warranty 992 that will cost 5K a year to maintain...and lose more and more value. I'd be torn if I didn't already have a 997, I tend to keep cars forever like my 91 BMW M5. But The market will dictate the "hold it's value" reputation of 911s, and I think they are turning in to Audi style depreciation vehicles lately.
spaceflowers just picked of a 997.2 S so I get it! Great car for the money!
This hasn’t aged well. I know, pandemic and all that but a low mileage 2 year old 992 at the moment costs almost the same as a new one!
@@leemarshall3649 perhaps we have to see out of warranty 992's prices before we can tell if I was truly wrong. But at the moment it looks like the 2020 992 prices are all 125k and up.
Good ‘real world ‘ review ...but have to agree with you as to the price.... manufacturers now seem to be aiming solely at the lease market and and such prices are getting a bit ridiculous.
Great and honest review there Ped! Though I guess I'll be with my 997T for a while yet! New 992C2S in my neck of woods are priced at equivalent to GBP255k to GBP262k depending on the options. That said, plenty of grey importers bringing in low mileage POC Porsches from GB at quite 'competitive' price, circa GBP 150-170k.
Blimey 😳
Great video Pete. I've just purchased a White Audi S6 68 plate with 450ps only owned by an Audi dealer. Cannot stretch to a 992 at the moment...I had the 25th anniversary poster on my bedroom wall...
Nice choice chap, I run a 67 plate S6, you will love the car👍
S6...lovely car 👌
@@PetrolPed Thanks Pete, I was overwhelmed at the Audi dealers, when they pulled the white sheet covering the car off...Holy Moly I thought, am I'm worthy of such a beautiful car...thought I was dreaming, 'crazy feeling', I'm 60 and this moment has been a very long time coming👍👍👍
Great review, once again! Well done! I now have a Carrera 4 on order, it'll be my workhorse though-out the year. I drive a lot on the Alps and on German Autobahns, and I think this is the perfect weapon for the purpose. I went quite light on the options and only chose the most practical ones, like adaptive cruise control, Bose, seat heating and cooling, full electric seats, comfort access and then some small options on top of these. The car will be GT silver on the outside, and black on the inside, and comes with silver window surround strips. I wanted a very classy and low-key car, and I think I got it right. Let's see.
Thanks 👍
Great editing with the passengers.
Thought you guys would like that 👍
Petrol Ped you will see that me and Kate love ya passengers.
Great review, as always. I think the 718 Spyder is the pick of the range for me.
Hope to get one on the channel later this year 👍
I agree with you about the S having just enough oomph to be quick but not stupid fast and therefore useful and enjoyable across its entire rev range. My C4S gets to me in Texas in September and I thank you for whetting my appetite for it and making the wait a bit sweeter still:)
Enjoy the new car when it arrives 👍
My friend, my new C4S is also in Houston Customs. Our release date from Customs is Aug 26th. Then mine comes up to Kansas City. Have you any word on when Porsche is going to allow the dealerships to let our cars go out the front door? Last word I received was Sept 24~27 timeframe. HURRY UP, PORSCHE!
I'm in NJ waiting on the C4S, and my release date seems to be 9/6... a little giddy over here since it's been on the ship coming over! @@ronstopfer2315
Ron Stopfer your car and mine will be at the Houston port by August 30th and be released to the dealers when the US clear the car as not polluting the air any more than the hundreds of thousands of 18 wheelers and the millions of pickups on the road;)
Congratulations on your new 992!
Frank Ly mine has a delivery date of Sep 18. Guards Red C4S😄
Slick well judged and delivers everything you require, the review that is ! Masterful review sir, as for the 992 - a perfect summary - I’ll be watching this again 👍
I'll take that from Mr Porsche 👍
Great review of the new car on roads I know. I tested the 992 but found the electronics confusing and the car slightly too wide for UK roads. I know I am just getting old and set in my ways! I think I'll stick to my older 997 which you commented on in your first Goodwood meet and greet over a year ago.
Oh wow 👍
Thanks for a very sensible and comprehensive review. I will however stick to my Boxster with it’s mid engine and top down experience - I know it’s a few years old but a fraction of £109,000 Porsche want for your test car. I must be getting old and sensible !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
A really good review, as always.
A boggo 12 month old 992 Carrera 2, manual box (if only they did one), guards red, nice wheels, sports exhaust and Android Auto would be really compelling as far as I'm concerned. All the power you need for UK and Euro roads and without the nonsense add ons that just aren't necessary in a car meant for driving.
As for the dog test, I was parked on the aire Gevrey Chambertin on the A31 in France a few years back, when an elderly couple in a 993 pulled up next to us. Out they got and then out of the back seats got an Irish Setter and a Yorkshire Terrier! Happy as pigs in muck they seemed.
Gotta take you pups with you. I've stopped at those services before 👍
Great review thanks !About to press the button on base 992 Carrera - like you say the options add up. Are you going to do a drive in the base version ?
No plans at the moment but you never know 👍
Currently in a 718 GTS, partly, because I knew the 992 was on the way and I would like to dip my toe into Porsche ownership first. Need to start planning for my change as it’s 2 years old this May, Some fringe options, but main contenders 992 C2S or AM Vantage. Driven both and whilst completely different cars, just can’t decide still. Nice to have these problems, but watching your show and others like Nick Murray’s certainly helps. Keep up the good work. Would be good to see you place in Cornwall when it’s finished?
Hi Mark. First world problems indeed but very cool. If I was using it everyday then I'd probably go 992, less frequent use then it would be the Vantage...should a mega car. I will be doing a full video of the house when it's finished later this month 👍
Nice very Nice...ld most definitely would have one.
Good job tks ...Will c8 bite into 911 sales ?
The 991.2 Carrera T would probably be the sweet spot for me personally (can't wait for the 992 version of the T). I guess that's why the 911 sells so well - it can be a pure sports car (Carrera T), a great all-round daily sports car (Carrera S/Turbo S) or a complete track-weapon (GT3 & GT3RS). Great video as usual Pete!
Cheers Harry 👍
Great review pal. New cars sound so muted due to the regulations 😔
Sadly yes 😪
Epic car and great video. I’ve only driven 2 911s a 85 Carrera 3.2 and a 2006 997. Both were fantastic cars, I lust over the newer 911s but financially they’re out of my reach. If i win the lotto though it would be a 911 S with a manual gearbox. Keep up the great work. 👍🏾
Keep buying those tickets 👍
I’m still in my ‘89 Targa 290k mi same engine - still a KICK !
nice review Porsche 911..💜
Cheers 👍
Hey Sir. Not just another great and nicely edited review, but a superb Porsche review. Entry level now up'd to £100k is justified because is the greatest marque out there with the best combo of build and performance splashed in abundance with reliability in the sports car field. I do think the rear shape takes a little time to fall in love with, but the basic 'Porsche 911' dna is still there from 67 although vastly improved from 991 generation on. For me it could only be a 997GT3RS. I would love to have a drive in the 992 just to see how so very different the 911 is now to my aircooled 84 Carrera 32. I'm looking forward to more on your Audi TTS review👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. I've driven a 997 GT3 RS and agree with you 👍
Great review, appreciate the perspective of what model you'd want as a daily driver and not just which one is truly ridiculous, aka GT2RS. My main question is which would you prefer as a daily driver as well as one you occasionally take to the track, the 718 Boxster S or the 911 C2S? I have a 2018 718 Boxster, love the balance and feel and peppiness, but have always wondered about the 911. Please share your thoughts, thanks.
I would have the Boxster every time. Brilliant all round car. Practical and mega performance. I big thing the 911 gives you is more storage but I've never been one of those that think a Boxster is for those that can't afford a 911. Very different cars. Then there is the cost to buy and run...Boxster wins again for me 👍
Great review:-):-)
Cheers 👍
Only worried about crashing this beauty, as it’s going to be my first car😬 but can’t wait on delivery of it!! Good vid btw
WOW...enjoy 👍
Got it yet? :D congrats dude
Pete, an update on the S6 I 'purchased'...left a 3g deposit, was gonna collect next day, though a strange thing happened as I was leaving the dealer. Made me book an AA Comprehensive check on the car, thank God I did. Result, it's got 'Red Flags' ! Problems, In other words, AA said don't buy and it's only 11 months old ! '149 point Audi Check' ???? HPI clear as well. I was nearly screwed, now I've just got to try and get my money back. I don't want this crap now to deal with, as I'm an old guy...My Lesson Learned, Get an AA Comprehensive Check, they are Brilliant !!!
WOW 😳
Great job thanks
My pleasure 👍
Fantastic. All the car I would ever need.
Yep 👍
I do love fridays, i'm not a great fan of Porsche but that has my interest
Hope you enjoyed it 👍
I’ve been driving Porsches for 40+ years and all have been manuals. I’m now 74 years old, have extensive racing experience but, if I stay with 911, my next one will be a PDK. Just beginning to think of physical issues as I age further. However, I’m seriously considering a GT4.........even less than a 911 2S and it’s a GT car. It definitely a very hard decision. I’ll decide next year when the PDK GT4 becomes available. Love your channel!
I am a big fan of a manual, and Porsche do them very well. The PDK is however really good 👌
Sorry, petrol pup stole the show within 2 minutes.....”follow me”. A few design flaws on the interior. Dials obscured by steering wheel & having to use touchscreen rather than buttons/knobs to change driving dynamics potentially quite dangerous while driving. Another great video 👍🏻
I know my place...defo second to the pups 😂
Non S cars out on configurator now. Lightly spec’d that could be the pick of the range. Look forward to you getting one to try.
Announced the day after I filmed this 😂
Manufacturers know who you are now so I’m expecting to start to see you in even more high end cars more often lol.
That would be great 👍
Not being able to see the sat nav is NOT a minor gripe, it’s a gaping chasm of a design floor!! Along with that RIDICULOUS PDK “gear” stick and removal of the amazing cup holders. What are Porsche thinking,especially given the price tag!!!!
Sad to see the cup holder go 😪
Just ordered one in crayon and cannot wait for the build, had one out last week end and just kept smiling. I have ordered the Carrera 2, could not really afford the S, but I have been assured that the S is not a need. Enjoyed the video.
Should have added, that the price with options comes in well under 100, that sounds so crass, but built a very nice car, an awful lot of money, but I am scratching an itch I have had since I was 16.
Oh wow. Congratulations 👍
Hi..... Further to my comments when you reviewed the Audi R8.....lack of storage, luggage space etc I am MIGHTILY impressed by your review and presentation of the new Carrera S as it would most definitely be a practical car to use as a daily driver aswell as we could use it for weekends away with our dog accompanying us on the back seat. Plus you can still have your fun with it aswell.
Price is a bit steep as you mentioned and when I was playing on Porsche car configurator I managed to spec my "dream" Carrera at £127k! Ouch!.. carbon ceramic brakes I guess and some other things not essential but even basics like parking sensors you got to pay extra for.... bit of a cheek.
Not looking to swap our M4 Comp just at the mo but might wait a while and see if we can find a nicely specced 2nd hand car.
Our aim would be to keep the car long term and I THINK Carrera just might be it.
Thanks for the review and I have subscribed if that helps you at all?
Regards
Roger
Wow Roger...thanks for the Sub. Much appreciated 🙏
The 992 Turbo S will be a time machine! Great video as usual. I’d be interested in the comparison between the C2S and C4S, to understand what +ves (or -ves) 4WD brings to the party. Oh by the way, £109,000 can be seen as a bargain, as the same car here in Singapore would be well over £350,000! Ouch!
OMG !!!!!!
You're a very lucky guys get a go in this porsche. I would have one. The last one I had was a 924 which was a shed!
I am indeed 👍
It comes with an Aero kit now too which leaves out that rear moving spoiler adding a static bigger spoiler a bit the a gt3
Cool 👍
I’ve gone for the 4s again as I just think it makes the ultimate daily driver come rain or shine. 👍
Yep 👍
Man, that pup is so cute!
They both do cute very well 😂
Always been a Porsche fan, and love the 991 & 992 gen cars, but... Once you tip over £100k... 🤔
Great video! £109k though!! for 40% of that you could get all the smiles and a fraction of the depreciation with a 997.2 C4S. Full disclosure, I am biased and am trying to rally support for the gen 2 997 being one of the best cars to buy right now :) Would have a 992 also if the wallet allowed, love the styling inside and out!
Good luck with your quest 😜
I have a 991.1 with the original N/A engine I saw a 992 on the road a couple of days ago and yeah, it’s nice but I am more than happy with what I have got
I bet you are 👍👏
Turbos suck. 991.1 is way better. Sounds better too.
Drove the 992 recently and was very impressed. Great review
Thanks. It's a mega car 👍
Subscribed also 👍
Nice car ❤👍
Last Monday I was lucky enough to be invited by Porsche to drive ‘the Range’ at Silverstone - currently have a 718GTS so looking at 992 s 2wd or 4wd. Firstly nothing in the rest of the Porsche range can match the 992, but my conclusion was 2wd was the sweet spot.
Agreed. I did one of those days once and found it great to drive the 2WD and 4WD back to back 👍
Great review. Looks like I need to start saving. What are your thoughts with regards to how it compares to R8. Would it be a difficult choice?
I live with every day I go for this, but for performance you would need to go for the Turbo to keep up with the R8 👍
Thank you for one of the best reviews I have watched so far. My 4S is coming in April and I am drooling for it just to watch this clip. The only downside about this is that the car will be charge 300% import tax. So that will be about 400k £ price tag for this car for me.
OMG...where do you live ?!
Bangkok bro
@@sansasnow6412 damn, the tax is similar in indonesia.
The Carrera 4S clocks in at 3.4s. That is supercar territory. It is going to be hard to turn down the proposition of owning a 911. When well taken care off they also are reliable, more reliable than the other easily broken BMWs, Mercs and Audis
Great review, my choice would be the Carrera 4S Cabriolet
They are lovely 👌
Great video, ok it's currently the entry level 911 but the entry level Carrera is out in a baw hair. Even that will have nigh on 400 BNP, what I'm finding interesting is that the 718 GT4 is about to get PDF mated to that new 414bhp engine which will destroy the Carrera and maybe even the S. this will be a first for Porsche so looking forward to your review and thought on this big first 👍🏻
The GT4 and Spyder look amazing...can't wait the drive them 👍
I have a 992 Cabriolet - it's fantastic. remember the C2S is only an entry level car temporarily, there will be a "standard" Carrera at some point. I have seen poor fuel consumption, but I've also achieved over 30 sort can be frugal if driven gently - although I'd sooner use more fuel and drive it more aggressively! Great review as always and yes, the outer dials being hidden from the drivers seat is irritating but offset by all the positive attributes of the car.
The Carrera was announced the day after I filmed this review...typical 😂
@@PetrolPed I believe that's called Murphy's Law, or something like that anyway!
Sods Law !
Love the 911. The perfect everyday sports car
Yep 👍
I owned a 997 Carrera 2 S drop top. Best car I have ever owned and driven by a long way (compared to an Aston Martin, BMWs, AMG Mercs and a Macan and Cayenne) and I wish I had not sold it. As you say PP it is not until you drive a 911 that you appreciate how good they are but I also share your concern about the increasing cost of buying one. My 997 cost me late £60s to buy in 2011 and I sold it two years later for late £50's with around 15k miles on the clock. I would love to have the 992 but the inconvenient truth is I would have to spend nearly double the 997 and cannot afford one...and I do not think it is worth double the money.
That is the point I was making 😪
The rear wing is to make the car go faster. Bernoulli's principle principle predicts that the decrease in pressure is associated with an increase in speed, i.e. that as the air passes over the wing it speeds up and moves faster than it was moving when it left the demonstrator's mouth. Physics 101
Lololol so funny/smart
sort of forgot the 911 Carrera (385) which often dyne tests at 413.8 and is a great car.
You know your car is fancy when the spec sheet looks like a menu.
LOL 😂
Correct answer is Turbo S daily. GT4 RS weekend and Macan GTS utility family carrier
I am think once the C8 is being produced in numbers, things are going to change in this segment, hurrying a 911 EV or all electric sooner than later.
Great vid, I'd have the 4s though
I'd be tempted 👍
Would love one Peter but as a poor pensioner will have to make do with my Boxster
Boxsters are mega things. A totally different driving feel and one day I will own one too 😜
Me too but boxster is a better sports car
@@eddiegray793 Before buying my 997, I test drove the then called Cayman S (now known as a 718). That car was brilliant in terms of its handling with the mid engined layout and, to be honest better than the 997 in that respect. But funnily enough, as highlighted by Ped, it was the extra +2 seats that persuaded me to go for the 997.
Hi Ped,the 4wd is ideal if you stay in Scotland as you could head out and it be sunny and later on it could snow and its got to be safer with 4wd in most situations
I agree 👌
All said & done Peter that’s a very fair review, I agree 💯% with your criticisms regarding the outer two gauges, they’re not as visually accessible as I would like. Yes there’s a few minor things that could be criticised but overall I think Porsche has finally created one of the best 911’s. Some of the “add ons” e.g., 18 way electric seats I wouldn’t be putting those on my list, but overall a nicely spec’d car. At £100k+ it’s not an easily affordable price for some but for Porsche devotees, those loyal to the brand it won’t be an issue. For me I would be looking at a well documented, cared for 997.2 if I was to go down the 911 route. Currently I’m enjoying my 981 Cayman & thinking of ways of scraping up enough for a 718 GT4 Spyder, probably its going to be 2020 as the allocations for this year are done, although there’s sure to be a few “flippers” available at £10 - £15 K above the factory prices. All comes to those who wait (I hope).
Thanks for sharing, I could have watched another half hour.
Regards
Geof
Cheers Geof. I know someone with a Spyder build slot so hope to get that on the channel later this year 👍
Nice one PP. Awesome Porsche, but for my liking dose seem a bit over priced.
I've always loved a big duck tail on the 911's Turbo S for me all day long..... If only :-)
Oh yes !
I prefer the quad pipes over the oval pair which look out of place imo. Or is the sport exhaust only comes as the oval pipe and not the quads?
Don't think the 992 does quads anymore 😪
