A few days into the 25 Years old 911 and I am quite amazed how porsche managed to keep their DNA into a modern Ev. My driving position
In the 911 is exactly the same as of my Taycan.
When I move from one to another It feels natural. The sport seats on the 911 seem to be more comfy though! The steering wheel is well weighted and you know exactly where the wheels are and oversteering with the gas pedal is just a joy and controlling it, is very simple and intuitive. Drive it 30 minutes and it feels you have always driven it. What a gem of car I have found!
Then I jump on my CT and the steering wheel feels super light and brakes super responsive :).

Ciao @Crazymind - mine’s back on the road. Happy to report it’s a thrill to drive, any worries about the Taycan eclipsing it were gone in the first minute.

Indeed the driving position is uncannily similar, and the hip as seen from the driver’s seat is absurdly thin compared to the Taycan’s.

Congrats - what a beaut. Certainly one of my favorites from my teenage years, fried egg headlights and all.
