RE: Official: new Porsche 911 hybrid laps 'ring in 7:1
Discussion
I expect it will be a great car, Porsche don’t usually get it wrong. With a heavy degrading battery on board residuals will surely take a hit more than any previous 911.
Considering speed limiters coming into effect this year, what’s the point. Buy a cheaper ubiquitous EV for daily duties and use your savings for a 997 or a motorcycle…

decent time considering it'll presumably be the new base spec car?
I believe it’s going to be one of the high end models but let’s see. Normally sporty hybrids have a lot of power, let’s say this one will have 600-ish bhp, so they will want a premium for it. If it’s so much quicker than whatever they’re comparing it with and with extra weight, it must be quite powerful. JAMSXR said:

Performance EV's are enjoying somewhat of a 'honeymoon' period at present,enjoy it while it lasts..Safety is king and speed limiters is just the start and although you can apparently disable the ISA system initially that will probally not be the case in the future..Considering speed limiters coming into effect this year, what’s the point.

Nice time. Car looks lovely and i'm happily aspire to own one.
Have to say too with such an inoffensive wing the usual crowd haven't blown that out of the water so that's nice..
The cars photographed have pre-production 'camo' installed, so not sure you'll get to own one unfortunately. Have to say too with such an inoffensive wing the usual crowd haven't blown that out of the water so that's nice..
Did the 'cooking' model 911s have wings? I thought they were reserved for the GT models, or those horrible 'aero kits' or whatever they're called.

The UK Govt have a law either in place or coming that bans mods to cars. It's as if they foresaw people would not like all this nannying electronics

Not in place yet.TX.
This is still being debated in its earliest stages so is still going through the rigmarole that could block it from coming into force. Either way, it's not going to be any time soon...

We're ruled by cissy townies, most of whom detest cars and would love to ban them outright, but for the extortionate fuel, road, sales taxes they screw out of us.
