New Porsche 991 Carrera S Cabriolet



gotta say this car is sodding awesome, driven a few 996 and 997s recently but this is a whole new level, pdk gearbox is absolutely perfect, handles like a dream, people have been slating the fact they ditched power steering for an electric unit, cant see a single problem with it, just the right weight imo

and to think this returns 32mpg if driven sensibly (not that i was, got my toe down a couple of times and i can see why this is nearly as fast as a 997 gt3, flys, plus with a soft top you can hear a quality flat six note )

god i love my job

i know i know "cool story bro"

Tom if your reading this, you need to get one

I've drove all if that's aimed at me. Also I was taking piss . It's the stigma attached to porsches . Boxers I find ugly , caymans are half way there but look feminine 911 has everything right (997)
