What a phenomenal looking machine.

Saw one at a car show last year. It's just... wow

Isn't this the same type of car that Paul walker died in?

N Sticker on the back?

It would look better in red or yellow.



/Also, I understand the importance of the wing on the back, but it does take away from the aesthetic beauty of the car.

He died in a Carrerra GT, which is Porsche's Last supercar.

Looked like this:

Yes, I can tell the difference.

The good news is the wing is (typically) activated by the speedo. It deploys at 80 and drops back when you go below 60.

Unless you push the button to fully extend it like a heathen when the car is parked.



And yes, they look phenomenal in yellow.

Red ain't so bad either.

Shockingly, no.
Was in for servicing at the same time as my car.
Was in the tunnel with a big "do not touch" sign on the window. Which was prob directed at all of the mechanics who wanted to take it for a rip.

And the spoiler was down. The back end looked real sharp. Exhaust pipes coming out of the the top of the car, over then engine.

Singer takes some of the most perfectly engineered vehicles and makes them better, and Williams has been in Formula 1 for 40 years. Now, they are teaming up to make the Porsche 911 even better.

I feel like the noise that thing would generate would make me never want to drive it.

If it's too loud, you're too old.


Besides, it's probably fast enough to outrun the sound.

I like it...

Already on my radar as a possible replacement for the wagon in five or so years. Once they've worked out the early run bugs.

I read that this morning and couldn't believe it. Why?

The whole car-hacking thing is very real to me after that and EV's can go fuck themselves.

80% Charge in 15 minutes
Looks like THAT
Only nominally more than a Tesla S, but built by the company that defines great drivers cars.

Sorry if I am drooling.

One of the worst days in racing history. I was watching it live.
