SimonN Posted 12August, 2016 Report Share Posted 12August, 2016 Before seeing this, I believed that the 991R was the best Porsche for years. I see nothing to change my view. It could even get me doing the Lotto! I WANT ONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumperson Posted 12August, 2016 Report Share Posted 12August, 2016 Changing hands for over $1M secondhand and more if you want to sell your allocation for a newie. Hopefully they won't be unicorns. Oh yeah, and I will take mine with the green stripes please. So cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 12August, 2016 Report Share Posted 12August, 2016 Fabulous car!91 will ever be driven , the rest squirreled away in collections . Seriously , there will be people with several of these as investments.There is a guy in NZ with 3 of the 75 Stirling Moss edition Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLRs. Never driven. Ridiculous. I remember taking my RSCS (now sold as I'd had my fun - oh and was offered drug money so ....) for a run with a few people and pulling a 30 metre liquorice strap up the road. At the next stop one of the people came up horrified and asked how I could do that. I told him easy - ease it off the line, give it plenty of Florshiem and hold it flat until the limiter cuts in and pull second. He nearly spewed. My 9 yo old son pissed himself laughing ... love that boy!As a frequent flyer I've scored an order for one of the new RS's. If I can master posting a vid up here, fear not - I will be seeking to emulate Stefan the Great and caning the living daylights out of it and putting it up for the edification of all.I mean, really? Each to their own I suppose. I've got few in the shed but none of them get put in the humidor. For me its a bit like wine. Why look at the label when you can open it and get shitfaced?Just sayin' - as the kids who work for me put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 12August, 2016 Report Share Posted 12August, 2016 The people who put them away in collections are not really interested in driving. They have a chauffeur for that!If I was that wealthy . I'd crash and burn it just to piss off the purists. Follow the example of Rowan Atkinson , most driven McLaren F1 ever plus - a few bingles, not of the lara kind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will make do with thrashing the baldsterThe Boxster's are in my view the best of breed in terms of Porsche handling and well deserving of hard driving. I remember years ago I took my wifes early Boxster S (3.2) to the old Morwell Hillclimb for a bit of a recce before a PCV event and pushed it that hard that the "integrated dry sump" wet itself and the thing blew white smoke half way back to Melbourne before it cleared! Ooops.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
