Is the 720S an event to drive though ?.. Sure it’s quick but as discussed before, outright power is not the whole story...Smiley..

Interesting question a pal who has a new GT3 mentioned in one of his Porsche groups (its a Porsche oriented whatsapp group mainly full of younger guys running new GT Porsches for free ie no depreciation) that I had got a 720S and the reactions were quite hostile all saying the GT2RS is a 100% more fun and the 720S is soulless.....

Thing is the 720 can do pottering around quietly really well and of course when you unleash the power it is a total animal it tears the tarmac and cracks in the gear changes giving an almighty wallop in the back as the next gear engages and sounds 700hp savage, even when going slowly the enticingly vibrating engine and sublime steering combined with its looks and interior beauty don't feel soulless at all to me. I suspect the young "rich kids" are pissed off because they can only afford depreciation free cars Smiley
