Was hoping it would be taken in the spirit intended , I love Mr Leno .

This is the million dollar question , I am not smart enough to answer .
I am expecting something between a carrera gt and a 959 .
The fact that there is talk of upgrading the batteries etc as tech improves says a lot for the support . I think a 900hp car will never really be obsolete . It would be a pity not to put tens of thousands of miles on this car , it really is up to the job .

Interesting to hear your thoughts vs CGT.

I worked for Porsche for 4 years and took an order for a 918 from an existing CGT owner and he is saying the same things ref noise and feel. He is also from the uk so not sure if you know him. He also said the braking is the one thing he said was in a different leauge to anything he has driven.

I now work for another brand but this car is simply the most phenomenal piece of engineering.

A huge thanks for such a great review.

What spec are you going for?

Thank you , you are very kind .
I must admit the car really surprised me , it is indeed a most phenomenal piece of engineering . A bit of me does still miss the old days but I understand these new cars , something I didnt just a few short months ago .
Id go for a black everything car

Yes I think I will . I will spec all the comfort options with the pick of the Weissach pack . I think the Proper ( no ac etc ) weissach package is borderline insane . Its way too good an all rounder for that .

The car u drove was that the liquid metal silver or standard?

I'm thinking Liquid Metal Silver or Chrome blue with all the Weissach Carbon trim for my spec.

Your all black spec will look insane mate.

Congrats!

I drove the liquid metal car . It looks gorgeous , preferred the silver to the blue personally .

Interior is truly gorgeous don't worry , it's brilliant , jewel like build quality everywhere .
The dash/screen is a work of art .

Congratulations on your choice .
