    Love the CL wheels, can't stand the Turbo wheels.  To each their own.

    Anyone who know what's up with those wheels? Why haven't we seen or heard anything about them in the list of options? .. They look quite good, and would look the business in titanium or similar.

    Is that the espresso interior?


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    reginos:

    Both sets of wheels above (on yellow and silver cars) don't suit the Turbo AT ALL.

    The first set is something from BMW, the second might look good on the Cup car.

    I actually like the CL wheels..... sort of.
    The standard Turbo wheels are SUV-wheels (or BMW indeed Smiley). They look good on the Cayenne or Macan and they're not very bad on the Turbo, as long as the exterior color is dark, but I agree that both wheels are not the best looking wheels for that car.

    BTW, I must admit that even standard CL wheels look good on this Rhodium Silver example.

    I love those wheels and have since they started using them on the mules. They look sort of like Dymag wheels.

    KresoF1; These are the best IMHO.

    Are these standard Turbo or Turbo S?

    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    totally agree. nothing - except most likely the GT3 - comes close to the driving experience of a ferrari. very sensual experience, nberry has just described my feelings very well.

    I am not sure... While the modern Ferraris sound very nice they also feel quite synthetic (steering, electronics etc.). My preference is clear: a GT type Porsche is more fun to drive fast than a modern Ferrari. If you intend to drive slowly, not using the car's capabilities fully a Ferrari is also nice, of course. But it feels more like a video game than a real car sometimes Smiley


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    well, i might concur if you talk about GT3 (RS) 997, but i do not see why the 991GT3 (a car i like a lot!!!!) should feel less 'videogame' than the F458. also the boxster S and the cayman S qualify in my view for great driving experiences, when raw speed is not the objective.

     


    Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

    Everybody is complaining nowadays about the 'videogame' feel of the new cars. But we all demanded a product that is more durable, more efficient and most definitely more reliable than before. So partially we have to blame ourselves. Ofcourse also government and safety regulations play a big part in it. 

    My guess is that we just have to accept this. Or buy 'oldtimers' yes

    You last statement might be a very good one. Cars from the 70s, 80s feel very different. Of course they are much slower. But the feel & fun factor is just very good Smiley

    No, I agree yellow is an acquired taste, and may be another example of the preference differences between NA and Europe.  But whenever I have seen a yellow turbo over here, anything from 993s onward to 997s, it just "pops" with such a happy, cheerful, and fun look.  To me it gives the turbo a playful personality that the power perhaps deserves - OTOH the usual sombre shades of grey are perfect for those who want to appear very serious about their power.  Smiley The biggest downside to yellow is that it more or less only works with black interior; and the attempts to lighten this with yellow seat belts or painted console etc are usually a bit tacky IMO.
