Wives... My wife loved the 991.2 GT3 test-drive yesterday, she wants to go for this car, depending on the offer the dealer makes (they are very keen to make a deal nowadays ). I'm not so sure, the 992 GT3 is just around the corner and lease cost could be the same (my wife wants to lease the car for 18 months and then she decides if she wants to keep it or not).
My wife loves how the GT3 sounds and drives ("so quiet and comfortable..." ) but I guess she compares it to my Huracan Performante ("I get sick in this car, noise is unbearable").
flaps are closed till 3,850 rpm.
above this, it is nothing related to quiet at all with 85+db in the cabin...
992 GT3 is at best in several months and this is not going to be cheaper than used car sitting at dealer. probably 50% extra on cost.
I only point we can agree is how uncomfortable the seats of the Lambo are...
The sport shells, the Performante regular seats are actually OK (yes, my wife still can't sit in them for longer than one hour ).
Compared to the Performante, the 991.2 GT3 is a vacuum cleaner, no doubt about it. We thought something is wrong with the exhaust and my wife was amazed how comfortable and quiet the car is compared to my Performante.
The thing about the 992 GT3 is: My wife wants to lease the GT3 for 18 months and if she likes it, she wants to actually buy it. I guess I kind of woken up some sort of wing envy in her. She loves the wing...
The 992 GT3 lease offers will be probably better than the used car (GT3 factory car) lease offer.
I agree however that a fully loaded 992 GT3 will be way more expensive and the 991.2 GT3 we drove was very well optioned. Also, a 992 GT3 certainly won't sound better, so...
Now we need to see what the dealer can do about the price. The car itself is amazing, everything new (brake discs, brake pads, tires (Cup 2), new liquids, lots of other parts renewed, it is really in a top condition and with a very low mileage, also 24 months Approved Warranty included).
