I would only buy a GT3 variant.

If I were forced to return to the Porsche Welt, I would return to a GT3 vehicle, which have improved tremendously and have recently become a double-wishbone suspension car. A more gentlemanly GT3 variant is the "GT3 Touring" variant which eliminates the b

928 has double wishbone, even today, almost all Porsche 2-door cars do not have double wishbones; except for 959, Carrera GT, 918, and only the most recent 911 GT3 models.

The 928 is indeed the Porsche flagship that never replaced the 911. The 928, 959, Carrera GT, 918, and only the most recent GT3 models have a double wishbone; all the SUV and sedans Porsche has made have double wishbones. A double wishbone suspension is e

Porsche clientele look at the Porsche brand as a more technically inclined brand. But if you look closely, almost all Porsche's 2-door models (with only a very few exceptions like the 959, Carrera GT, Porsche 918, and only the GT3 and GT3RS models in the

Now that they're finally putting double wishbone suspensions on the 911 GT3...

Porsche's two door sports cars (their sedans and SUVs are double wishbone) have been MacPherson strut for the longest time (with few exceptions like the 959, Carrera GT, and 918). Porsche is the only car brand that makes expensive cars that do not have a

We have the same purple Jesko...

Which I think is a reference to the real life variant seen in testing here: And I am also a big fan of Hot Wheels more generally. I try to collect my very favourite cars, like these German models here: Porsche (Carrera GT, 997 911 GT2, 997 GT3 RS), Merced

Absolutely. It's a holistic package. And Porsche makes a wonderful package. BUT, they have huge room for improvement.

And overall, a Porsche's reliability alone made it a winner in many many races. Frankly, in a race, reliability is so important because many cars simply don't finish due to reliability problems - especially during the 1950s to 1990s where a lot of Porsche

My True Sports Car Requirements...

1. Double wishbone suspension. Generally no exception to this rule, unless it's a multi-link suspension that is arranged in a method that is similar to a double wishbone. Porsche 2 door models, BMW M3, and many "popular" sports cars are all "McPherson Str

6 years ago, I was at an independent Porsche garage with my old 911 when a dealer brought in a Carrera GT for urgent help. He had a buyer for it (at GBP309k) but, while it was being 'detailed', the electronics were contaminated and it was showing a ...

fault. The garage suggested the simple solution of driving it until it was really hot. The outcome was that I found myself at a track on an old military airfield not far away, driving it as hard as my limited skills would allow. Happily, the fault light t
