Got a red one in Leeds OPC at present.

Have to say it looks the mutts nutts. Lovely, lovely bit of kit.

If I were in the market for a new 991 I have to say it would get consideration, but I suspect unless it was part of a fleet, it would probably just miss the cut.

I think they look fantastic and the test drive was OK need to think about resale as well as not sure how popular they will be in the used market. Need to find something as I was not lucky with my GT4 deposit!!

Yes I've seen that one too, and agree it certainly looks the part

I may have left a little bit of drool on it... biggrin

Extremely good-looking and desirable car. A nice middle ground between a coupe and a cabrio.

I would test drive on back to back with a 991 C2S and see whether the extra weight bothered me. Ultimately, I expect that I would go for the lighter car and would miss out on the Targa's styling and open top.

Here is a bit of a stinker - if it really does lose some of the (relative) finesse of the C2S, why would you go for one over a Turbo S cabrio? If it aint gonna feel like a sports car, it may as well be a rocket!

The weight wouldn't be to much of an issue for me it's the buffeting that could be a real problem. Without doubt a lovely looking car.

I wonder what sort of a discount you could get??
