I was asked if I would like to be added as a ‘soft prospect’ for a Mission X what ever that means?

Full electric and £2.5m

The worst review I have seen - both in terms of presenter knowledge, but also in the conclusion drawn.

It's his opinion of course, but I'd respect it more if he got some basic facts about the car right (and knew which side of the rear of the car the S/T badge was on...).

Starting a 992 S/T review on a demo-site set a low bar ... and sadly went south from there on :/

Has anyone tried to choose their car's limited number? i.e. X of 1963.

I know from posts on Rennlist that US owners have had some success in doing so through their dealerships and it doesn't seem to be limited to the 918 VIP Program customers.
I've just messaged dealership to enquire.

I tried but all the good ones were not available. 992, 1963 etc…

Thx.. Great video, although substantially more £££ than a GT3 and unobtainable to 99% of us, the want is there, but sadly most will be trophies !

If anyone on here is lucky enough to get one and drives it, please do come back and tell us all about it smile

It's been like this ever since the start of Covid ... for various reasons.

I don't think the switched sourcing and delays in supply of components downstream will help the reliability of the ever more complex cars, particularly when in a tough market manufacturers are under pressure to close sales and meet targets.

Maybe cars in the more stable decades to 2020 will be the "classics" to own ... once they become classics.

Porsche now defines 997 gen cars as part of their Classic program ... 991 next !
