The best car available today.
Way too soon to make that kind of statement IMO. Figures are only half of the story.
Here are some more figures I did last night to get a feel for the car's performance possibilities;
LB's per HP
4.4 177
5.03 CGT
5.94 997 turbo s
LB's per TQ
6.89 cgt
5.89 177
6.1 997 turbo S
You are right figures are LESS than half the story. You will seldom find me arguing in these SILLY magazine threads about what car is a tenth of a second quicker than some other car around some track (unless I am standing up for an American product). Pointless discussions.
The story is looks, sound, luxury, quality, and numbers AS they all relate to design and engineering. If you have read this entire thread and examined the pictures you should have already come to the conclusion that this car is in a league by itself.
It's practically all CF. The engine bay is a work of art. The suspension makes the Zonda look like a cheap kit car. The pearl white and black versions are stunning. The sound on the test track in France was better than the 599GTO. The top speed is ridiculous.
And I think most of you don't understand how wild this will look in real life. The roof line is 4 inches lower than my car which is low to begin with. This car makes a statement more than any other and yet still looks classy as can be and not some Batman movie reject. Ultimate luxury and ultimate N/A power.
FYI - linked photo's
To put it in perspective for most here - the 997 roof line is 5 inches taller than that ^^
Interesting view of the int ceiling (I am not a fan of white for the interior of this car)
tough to be more "bespoke" than this
It made me get the baby brother - the 944 as my first car. Ya new 928 will sadly only be a Panamera Gen 2 coupe.
