Well, to be honest, I like 44 too ;-)


This is a cool concept.  I want a 718 one day to add to my 4 door Caddy.  But MrsC would kill me... good thing my favorite numbers are locked up!

Porsche Vision …

This is the new Porsche Vision 357, a Cayman GT4 RS-based 'concept' created by Porsche as the first of many celebrations for its 75th birthday this year. Its shape is that of a pumped up, slammed original 356, an idea of the kind of car Ferry Porsche migh...

a lot of SUV’s because that’s what people want. They were early into the performance SUV market and virtually every other traditional performance car manufacturer has followed suit, including Ferrari.

The URUS is an Audi 😁

I was told from a Porsche tech that the Cayman chassis/design is superior to the 911..

They had to limit the horsepower otherwise 911 owners would complain.

Yes, …

I was told the same thing by a Porsche racing driver. He should know, as he was part of a LeMans winning team and obviously one hell of a driver 👌

Matt Farah (smoking tire & C&D) has driven everything, the Porsche he chose to buy with his own money was a short geared Boxster Spyder with a 4.5L engine. Chris Harris recently tried to trade his 992 GT3 for a GT4RS.

Now that the you can get all the power in the Boxster/Cayman, people are starting to see the light Sadly it's only now that Porsche has allowed it just before they kill the line and replace with full ev

So much of it is about what roads you usually drive there’s a big difference between 87 and the Taconic if you know what I’m saying.

In fact, if you don’t know the roads of the Hudson Valley by heart… I do…

I can give you which roads, which time, and the general insight into enforcement in those areas…7 lakes…what a drive! ...  

CH wanted the trade because he liked the 991 Touring over the 992 touring and decided to keep his 991.

I share his sentiment completely. I drove the 992 before buying my 991 touring because I shared the same complaints about the 992 touring.

Very cool...

...they will be made in a limited edition of 42 (the number of eyelets on the shoes of Ferdinand or some other silly thing) and cost $3M. Don't even think about buying one of these unless you are very well connected and have 9 figures in the bank...

The design is beautiful! And mid-engine for the win.

 
 By: BigAppleBill : January 26th, 2023-17:06
I agree with the mid-engine, pro Cayman sentiment. But the 911 still tugs at my heartstrings. No wrong answer here. I'm glad Porsche makes both available. And fully EV versions are surely coming in the near term. As for the SUVs, like them or not, the inc... 

For sure it did..

It has also allowed Porsche to regain majority share back from VW.

I agree …

The SUV’s enabled Porsche to become a very profitable company.

It will have headlights on the production version …

This car is the design concept, but I bet it makes production.

Yes, if it makes it to production in some form....definitely unobtanium

Look at the silliness of the most recent speedster...
