Didn’t do too well in EVO car of the year which was a surprise. Toyota GR86 was rated one of the greatest sports cars of our generation !
Yeah - read that with interest. Seems like it's too noisy and too firm for road use.julian987R said:

what a waste of money And my GT3 is tanking in value FFS, what the point to these cars if they aren’t winning group tests and appreciating
Sometimes I go on the Taycanforum, all they talk about is delays and 12v batteries..
10 years ago I use to post on here and receive feedback about optimal setups, tyres, ring trips.. sad times indeed

Your right, someone take my slot off me, I’m hunting a GR86 now.. started build last Friday, gutted to late to cancel, CXX stripe too what a waste of money
It doesn't detract from it no doubt being an epic car, just headache inducing (probably). Congratulations on your build slot. what a waste of money Edited by 718GT4RS on Wednesday 7th December 21:19

If you actually read the article in EVO rather than spouting appropriate supportive soundbites you’ll appreciate why it was marked down. Some people (purchasing the car for a particular purpose, ie not to be a daily driver, but rather an immense immersive experience) would view the negatives as a positive. As Dickie said, it’s the one car in that group that he would be desperate to own himself. He also owns a 964 RS - to me that says it all.

I read that article (and very good it was) and came to exactly the same conclusion as you did seawise said:

I have read it ! When you look at all the judges marks it got a bit of a kicking really you can’t dress it up any other way. Think one judge called it a miserable torture device always trying to throw you off the road Edited by cc3 on Wednesday 7th December 21:54

Good for you, I wasn’t pointing the finger at you specifically, but someone else who is a self appointed guru of all matters Porsche GT/sportscar on PH - i am not dressing it up, i am conscious having read the article why it was marked down on a test that has no track element to it. Put it this way, it’s the only car in that group that i yearn to own. The rest are rather dull as one would expect given it’s a reflection on what was launched in 2022.

Good mate of mine took delivery of his a few months ago - they are absolutely mega, anyone who gets one should be very happy. Proper hardcore RS, which is too much for some, fair enough.seawise said:

Yep - I agree, I read it too! I was surprised by the kicking it got, especially given the rave reviews it received (from EVO) at launch. I'd still have one though! Although not at £265k!

Assuming that is an impolite dig, I am merely questioning the noise level - which I believe would not be a sustainable pleasant experience for long periods of time … and in effect it makes the car, in time, once the novelty has worn off, a frustrating car to drive, nuisance on the ears, and all around irritating experience. I suspect it is a five minute wonder, but of those five minutes, nothing comes close to it. Never once have I questioned its epic’ness.Put it this way, it’s the only car in that group that i yearn to own.

I have often wondered who did that - I got that sent that pic back in the summer, so maybe not so cold!Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
