Has anyone else been?

I spent this morning there and drove 3 variants:- V8 diesel, 4S petrol and the Turbo. All were 4wd.

The turbo and diesel blew me away - absolutely amazing in every aspect. I loved my old model but these new ones are an enormous leap forward.

I have to say that every member of staff I met were so helpful and pleasant. The set up of the morning including breakfast and lunch were great and everything worked so well.

The on track time left me grinning from ear to ear.

Great job to the team and Porsche they have another winner!

They had 16 cars so I'm sure one of them is but I didn't try one. Apparently all of the models can be made hybrid as an option but it has to be from factory - a figure of 700 plus bhp was mentioned if in turbo guise!!!!! Yes please.....

Yesterday late morning session. Was very very good.

Lets the cars sell themself and was very impressed with what they could do without fear of a curb or a bus coming head on!

Most impressive was the amount of launch, hard brake they must do day in day out.
