0-100 in 6sec flat.

[Phooey]

0-60 in 2.6s, 100 in 6s. Wow. Hard to imagine the next generation Turbo-S will probably be dipping into the 5's!

Wow!

[GT4P]

That is awesome! What's the ring time!

I would normally disagree with this comment but we must be near the limit for tyre grip now?

To answer my own question it is apparently 7.18 a 2 second lead over the 991gt3rs

Is drag racing the most appropriate use for one of these now?

Not really as they are rapid through the twisties too. Amazing piece of kit. I still think styling off a bit off but I could forgive it that the way it goes.

When it blows everything else into the weeds, yes. And as already said, it's a fantastic all rounder too. Can be comfortably used everyday, relatively cheap to run (reliable, service every 2yrs, warranty extendable to 15yrs,), can accommodate 4 people, and dare I say - good value for money. Mega car.

To add cheap RFL below 225 co2 and averages 30 mpg!

0-100 in six seconds is bloody bonkers!

Agree it's looking portly, thing is in reality is it actually any quicker than a 991.2 Carerra on UK roads? I'm sure in ideal conditions it would be but how often is that? Just seems like too much car albeit a very impressive one.

[patch5674]

I believe they are pretty good on depreciation as well. Still last gen still around the 110-120 thousand mark.

great buy when 2-3 years old though!

Exactly what is the relevance of 0-60 or 0-100 in a road car?

In all my life I've never had a situation where I've needed to do a standing start beyond about 30 mph.

Not comfortably.

Two average size adults and two small children.

No reason why it couldn't be £40,000 cheaper.

Hmmm

Very small, very fast, very capable all weather sports car.

You need to get into Europe and do the 'toll-road-racing-start' just after you have paid and the barrier lifts

Not if you've got a Sanef transponder
