I know that car makers cannot stand still. They need to keep feeding the desire for new models and innovative technology and keep up with emission and safety standards etc etc. But yesterday I saw the 992 version of the 911, and I have to say that it looked huge. So far removed from what the 911 was intended to be. Almost a three quarter sized Panamera in my eyes. It is also not a stand out model any more as it always used to be. Eye catching for all the wrong reasons. Guess I just felt a bit nostalgic and sad that the real interesting days of car manufacturing have now gone. Apologies to any 911 owners of which this post concerns ( eye of beholder and all ) An example of the old cutting edge design , albeit a turbo ( IMO ) ...... And the new kid on the block
Maybe it's an age thing but all new stuff looks too similar - they don't make them like they used to sir!
Yep, there’s about 400kg difference between those 2 models. Which says it all really. Still love the GT stuff though
Meh - cars i know but im getting old now...eg id rather keep my old rsv4 factory than get a new one (cant afford one anyway) but, even if the engine let go id get a 2014 motor and stick it in mine...(mine being an old 2010 pre aprc)
Steve McQueen's from Le Mans When McQueen's Slate Gray 1970 Porsche 911S crossed the block at last Friday's RM Auction in Monterey, the hammer fell at a price of $1.375 million, setting a new record for the price of a Porsche 911 sold at auction.23 Aug 2011
Agree about the Porsche. But that’s not a hipster. That’s just what blokes under 40 look like. Get over it all you old gits
