    This statement makes me wonder about the value I would place on the rest of the stff he worte Smiley

    In standard fettle, the revised chassis is 10mm lower than its predecessor, and keen drivers can opt to go an additional 10mm south again by specifying a Sport chassis.

    I really see 996 / 997 gt3 (all variants)growing even more in value, and 991 gt3 and specially RS too. Will porsche continue the next GT3 RS with the iconic 4.0l engine displacement ?? I really hope so.

     

    996 / 997 GT3 will never go up in value, those are mass production cars.

    In the UK, 997 GT3 are being advertised at around £70K so they are certainly asking more for them!

    Check for 997.2 GT3 prices in the US. I would say they are retaining value extremely well...

    Re: OFFICIAL: 2016 Porsche 911 [991.2]

    Ask also about the new Porsche Driverless option.

    I hear it will have multiple settings including Shopping mall driving-mode and for an extra, the Walter Rohrl track-mode. You just buckle up and it gives you hot laps in any track beating anyone actually trying to drive....It also comes with Oculus VR glasses that take advantage of the new Porsche connect so you can stay home and your car goes to the track by itself while you watch it race from home....

    Video from driving 991.2 on Hockenheim. I think it sounds quite good from the inside and to my ears not very far off the 991.1 . The car in the vid has PSE and it's enabled... New PCM looks nice and the smaller GT-steering wheel looks also great!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27zX2y47BDE

    I like the size of the new GT steering wheel, but the design is an abortion. It is not internally consistent (the chrome ring around the horn has a traditional vibe that is at odds with the techno looking aluminum inserts with the visible screw heads. Furthermore, those inserts make the wheel look overly busy; and in any case, that whole aesthetic seems disconnected from the design of the rest of the interior. What is going on with these guys?

    Sounds great, Sydney.

    How about these two (quite simple) questions?

    1. Are the new tail lights of the 991.2 retrofittable on the 991.1? It kind of looks that way and I couldn't get a precise answer from any our sources.

    2. Are some true 650S and 488GTB competitors in the planning or did Porsche "give up"?

    Thanks. Smiley

    and if they are not on a 488GTB competitor, please doublecheck with porsche whether they are finally working on a 900HP lambo - URUS competitor. at best in a targa version. we need that car!!!!!!! otherwise mums might refuse to bring their kids to soccer fields in the future.

    Christian,at point one i think i can answer,no.

    Becouse the inside part(the one that "look" the model designation) is slightly different than on the MK1,like it was on the 997MK2.So i think no,isn't retrofittable unfortunately.Also i like them!

    What makes you so sure that this is really the smaller one of the two steering wheel versions?


    Re: OFFICIAL: 2016 Porsche 911 [991.2]

    This is the smaller GT steering wheel. Check out official Porsche price list in PDF, it is on Porsche German web page.

    The car looks excellent! Much more in harmony than 991.1

     


    Re: OFFICIAL: 2016 Porsche 911 [991.2]

    Showed the photo to my wife and first thing she asked: What is different? indecision

    Yes, the new 991.2 looks a bit more refined (no wonder, it is the 2nd generation) but the difference is minimal and only visible to people who know both cars.

    There are only two things I really like on the 991.2 over the 991.1:

    1. AWS (all wheel steering is amazing, makes the car feel more agile and lighter and in combination with PDCC, it is hard to beat)

    2. PCCB (finally the "right" larger disc sizes)

    Otherwise, I'm not impressed at all and I do not regret getting the "old" GTS, especially considering the new price hike.

    This may change with the powerkit and other (new) versions along the way but so far, I am happy with the GTS.

    Btw: My wife only noticed the new 991.2 tail lights after I told her to look closer. Like me, she finds the "unfinished" shape a bit strange but maybe we are getting used to it.

    One of the things I love about the 991 C4 is how the tail light illumination looks at night with that illuminated middle strip. Not sure if the 991.2 C4 will get that anymore (haven't seen it twice on occasions).

    I'd say the change from 997.1 to 997.2 at the rear was as visible as the change from 991.1 to 991.2 at the front. Smiley
