    What a fabulous sounding car! Will that be the sound on the production model?

    BTW notice the face of the driver. It clearly shows his awe of the car.

    Yes,that`s the production exhaust system.
    This car was one of Porsches factory/Press cars with an US specification.

    Re: Carrera GT.Video Leipzig

    That was you revving the engine? Did you get a chance to drive it? If so, what are your impressions?

    According to the Car article, the cabin is very snug and a bit uncomfortable. Can you comment?

    Re: Carrera GT.Video Leipzig

    For some reason we weren't allowed to drive ourselves,only to go as co-pilots.

    The cabin is a perfect fit,with better room for my legs to stretch out compared to the 911.
    BTW. I am 1.89.
    The seats feels like the ones in the GT3,but you sit lower compared to the 911. (Seat vs Steering wheel.)
    And the distance to the pedals vs steering wheel/seat is greater than the 911.
    The gearlever is situated in the perfect place,the travel from steering wheel to gearlever is short and feels very natural.
    The whole cabin excudes a feeling of perfection.

    Re: Carrera GT.Video Leipzig

    CF,
    I see you are a bit over 6' what are your other measurements? what is your weight or waist size for the seats?
    tight fit or a bit of room in them? Do they fit like the old Recaro 964RS seats ?

    Re: Carrera GT.Video Leipzig

    If you fit in the new GT3 seats(Recaro bucket seats)you fit in these.
    I had a 964RS 10 years ago and those seats were very similar in size I believe.
    Maybe someone else can answer that question better than me.
    BTW.Since I am not a woman I am not sensitive about my weight,so here you go. 87kg or 191.6 pounds.
