I'd just like to clarify I agree with you entirely. I am sure it would feel far too quick for me, but it's the only way I could quantify Cheib's comment.
Sorry yes I probably shouldn’t have included you in the multi post there-I get you’re saying the same as I and thought it rude to cut you out of the conversation.

Think I should clarify my comment ! I guess it’s the weight more than the power which is a bit underwhelming. I believe it is based on a 993 ?

Will be interesting to see if Tuthill can sell them. This feels like quite a long way from what they’ve built their reputation on.

Please let Henry Catchpole, Jethro B or Jason Camissa get behind the wheel of the car, preferably unaccompanied.

Lol, but you do know…

1 - we wont be able to hear Henry
2 - every other word from Jethro will just be ‘deeply’
3 - Jason only drives in a straight line.

blah

Philip is cool but I find it hard to warm to the youtuber guy.

also true, and yes Philip can be a cool guy and I bet he is, but for my liking to much giggling and at some point I started to get annoyed by it, although I could understand him a bit, boys among themselves having fun with their new toy.

But then I'd rather see someone alone in the car than the two of them together.

I think folks are being a little pro-faced here re:the giggling.

If a frankly ridiculous 11k rpm redline doesn't make you giggle like a school kid in morning assembly after their best mate has just broken the silence with fart that sounds like tearing canvas, then such cars are probably not for you.

I totally get the giggling. I scream!

Without Philip there this car wouldn't have existed. The K is named after his surname and he commissioned Tuthill with his vision which became the 911K

The car was originally going to be the STL-12 (ST Lightweight) and then the STL-11. There is no K in that name. It became the 911K because it revs to 11k.

No doubt Philip has been a huge driver behind Richard’s decision to start the project and with the development since. It is no accident he has the first car.

But you are doing a disservice to the other people who were involved from over 3 years ago and also played a big part in its evolution. The fact it became 3.1 from originally 2.8 was from a series of discussions I had with Richard. Before the K I was working on a radically lightweight RSR concept which I stopped when Richard called and said how about this, we are looking for a small group of people to get involved.

In any case, the car is a masterpiece and I love it.

Thank you for the correction. I was stating what is said in the video, from the K to his commission. But I will defer to you.

Thread bump.

There is a very interesting interview with Richard Tuthill on The Intercooler podcast. He talks about the 911K, the new GT One and also the relationship that he and other builders / resto modders have with Porsche.

It's a good listen to while away an hour in the car.

Andrew, how many miles on your K now?

Thanks for that, was a great listen.
