yep it matches my E63 for the kit as that was one of the tricky parts in a sideways move so was pleased to get a deal done on this one that has pretty much all options ticked.


whats "Porsche entry and drive"? think its like keyless.

Have now driven 3 x Targa +1 cab recently and this one felt the best out of all of them - ie it felt like my car, immediately felt right and at home in it.

Was looking a youtube on the rear axle steering and Im not sure I could feel anything particular but more an "impression" that the ride in the bends felt very smooth and stable - it just gelled so nicely with the overall steering.

The seats also felt more comfy then the others 911.2's and coming from the AMG where the seats are ace this had to up there with being comfy .

Gorgeous car- congratulations. I saw a white targa at a hotel in the highlands last week and looked much smaller in the flesh than I had expected. Great colour on yours - let us know what you think when you have it,

thx - I remember when we messaged on the audi forums we both had put in orders for new RS6 at the same time and tracking whose car would come off the ship first and be delivered. Hope the RS6 is going well.

Beautiful looking thing. Did you find a rare manual or is it PDK?

I have provisionally spec’d this on my GTS but if I understand correctly it just lets you open the doors but then you still need to take the key out of your pocket to start the car, which defeats the purpose somewhat?

spoke to the OPC - its is key less as such. so long as keys in the car you just turn the ignition - there is a plastic thing in the ignition (not a button) to turn.

Good to hear from you again! I enjoyed the RS6 but never really felt it was for me. I ended up trading it against a RS3 and after 9 months I bought a new FL RS3... Kept that for about 2 years and then bought this absolute cracker about 6 weeks ago! Absolutely love it. Hands down best car I've ever owned.
