Is this possible? Thanks

Can I have a Cornwall flag please? Not sure what happened to my original request?

That depends which 911 you are referring to.

The goalposts appear to being moved - i thought previously that your point was about the inconvenience of having to take the car once every year or once every two years for a service, now it’s about costs? Regardless, if one of your main concerns for your car is costs, then you probably...

As discussed, in most parts of the world, servicing schedules are no different between Porsche’s ICE cars and their EVs. And I still don’t think car enthusiasts (should) care that much about one service per year or certainly have this as a priority compared all the other capabilities that a...

Not in the UK or Europe.

I think that turbo engines have moved on a lot since the 993 and with PDK gearboxes, then lag need not be an important issue! Thats not to say I don’t understand the benefits of the instant torque available from EVs.

Yes, a 911 needs servicing every 2 years - see the Porsche website for more details. Unless Porsche are ‘dreaming’ too? ”Porsche services need only be repeated every two years or 20,000 miles (12,000 miles for 911 GT models) for cars built after 2005 and your Porsche Centre will remind you...

Most Porsches have a 2-year service requirement (although I did used to have an oil change in between the servicing, for my GT3), which meant a visit to the dealer and the opportunity to try out other cars. Unless you live a very long way from the dealership, that doesn’t seem that onerous. In...

For me it soon becomes boring. There’s nothing like revving a car out to 9,000rpm. That’s why I need a GT3 alongside my Taycan!

Instant torque and low service intervals are not priorities for most 911 enthusiasts!

Any trim in a car is for visual appearance - no-one is choosing interior carbon fibre for strength/weight reasons. However, many people like the look of carbon fibre compared to other options such as brushed aluminiumor painted plastic!

Sounds ideal. The thing I love about a GT3 is that you can leave it anywhere and not be too worried about what might happen to it, particularly if it is a ‘dull’ colour. Rightly or wrongly, I’m not sure I’d feel the same about a Ferrari. N/A V8, manual gearbox sounds great! :like:

The carbon trim in my previous Porsche had a very obvious ‘weave’ to it, same as in my Audi - what are you expecting to see?

Perfect garage for me will be the Taycan GTS for daily use and a 911 GT3 for weekend fun and touring.

I refuse to ‘double watch’!

Very nice! £30k? :blush:

Interesting post, thanks. From what I’ve read, and from the people I’ve spoken to who have owned these cars, they are really designed for people with quite different requirements and priorities. if you want a tech-fest and the car to do things for you, the Tesla is great and very effective at...
