Note sure if anyone has posted the new video of it .. I know the old ones have been referred to a few times. But I think the car is pretty unmasked here .. looks very nice.

Thinking of cancelling my Turbo now ...and sticking my name on the list. It does seem to be slightly tale happy out of some of the corners (RWD not FOURWD?).. then I suppose it has a reputation to live up to !

And now with traction control too!!!

I would have thought to make the whole GT2 buying and ownership experience a little bit special that everyone who buys 1 of these cars should get flown to germany and taught how to drive these machines properley by an experienced driver around a track and then you can drive it back to the uk...Should be compulsary no option!
£130000 for a car i think they could throw that in FOC.

Porsche in the UK already offer the Driving Experience programme (free) for depositors on almost all models now. Understanding the car and how to drive it is part of the reason why. As for experienced drivers go, Richard Attwood and Barry Horne to name just a few...

I guess Porsche's new test track will be completed in the not too distant future too...

Interestingly, it seems that not as many people take it up as one would imagine, considering they've already paid for it.
