Porsche is jut making variants, different 'models', they Neve said anything one is bette than the other.
Mclaren keep saying the old one is out now that a new one is better.
Yes, but there has always been one rule for McLaren i.e bash them whatever they do, and another for more established brands. BTW have I told you that the 720S is the new R8 on Rennteam ?
Oh god, RC is so gonna ban you for trashing his R8!!!!!
I won't because I know that many haven't even driven it... My neighbor, that had a McLaren 12C Spider and who ordered a 720 Spider, wanted to get a car to pass the time until his Spider arrives (2020?). He looked at the Huracan, the Huracan Performante, the 570 Spider, the 488 Spider and many other cars. Guess which car he didn't look at, although he always says "wow, I cannot believe how good this thing sounds" and "great quality and that carbon is just beautiful" whenever we meet. Right, the R8. The reason is simple (to him): "It is an Audi, I cannot get an Audi...". No kidding. So if people care more about the brand than the car itself, well... He isn't the first one who told me that.
Not me, as you know it, I bash Porsche plenty, as with Ferraris, not just McLaren. And my current favourite brand is Alfa
But damn do I miss my 4C right now after spending 2 weeks away from home. That will be the first car I drive when I get home! Next will be my Aston. Then the Huracan.
Have I told you between Porsche and Manthey, they STILL haven't sort out logistics yet for my race weekend in Hockenheim coming up in less than one month? They still hasn't decide on which hotel we should be staying and didn't even have a booking yet.
Porsche lacks a car like the 960. Also, their products have become (almost) too perfect, too sterile and they are not competitive enough in the power department. Sorry to say that. Dozens of 911 variants, I'm just fed up with them. Fantastic cars, no doubt but it is getting boring. The GT2 RS is, for me, an eyewash. It looks nice, aggressive and everything but it is basically a more powerful 991.2 Turbo S in GT3 RS body.
A nice two door GT a la Mercedes S Coupe? Don't see it either.
Cars like your 4C, your AM and your Huracan excite through some of their imperfections and oddities, they aren't perfect and they are, in a way or another, special. I understand why you like the 4C, it is a wonderful toy.
