Just got back from picking it up. Here's some more pics but will have to wait for a bit of a review as I'm too busy driving and running it in

 

Flashy.

But nice


I don't suppose I could even afford the cleaning bills

 

Thanks Jim. Sold the Carrera back in August to make way for this one. Carrera was lovely, no problems at all and a great GT car whereas this thing is a rattly beast

 

WOW.......................

 

So like, this is **** right?

 

Anyone who has done well enough to own a beautiful machine like that gets my respect.

I was behind one once on the way home, the acceleration on those things is phenomenal.

 

Stunning.
Here some I seen this morning by the Severn bridge toll m4

 

lol, spotted before even picked up, impressive

 

Stunning

Personally I'd have the wheels in anthracite, but love it

 

serious bit of kit no doubt. personaly i would not have ordered it painted like a van

 

Nice buy!

I'm impressed by the key!

 

Carrara White is a traditional Porsche Motorsport colour.

(And most vans seem to be silver these days.... )

 

Stunning car

Always loved white/black wheels, but think the silver wheels look really classy on this car!!

 

lol like you could even dream of being able to afford to buy one

Stunning car Scott, very very sexual, review soon please.

 

Lovely car, good colour too

Do Panamera owners get a key fob shaped like a 911??

 

It's the standard Porsche key for all models now, although I got this one painted. But yes, it would be nicer if it was a 911 shape

 

 

Utterly gorgeous.

Careful though, with RWD, you'll be risking your life at even the merest hint of rain.

Got any jobs going?

 

Wow ! Stunning car. Would love to see an in depth review sometime

 

I can do a mini review but I'm only 350miles in at the moment and the weather is not being kind and still trying to run it in a little. Been told a myriad of things about running in but generally its a 1000 miles without thrashing the nuts off of it so i'm trying to keep around the 6000rpm mark. Handling wise it feels pretty planted even though i haven't had a dry day yet, you just need to respect it a little in this weather. My car came with the Dunlops which apparently are a better cold/wet weather tyre than the Michelin cup 2's so its quite handy for these winter months.

The car is so much more of an occasion than the Carrera S i had and Porsche have managed to deliver a car thats still drivable and liveable but still has the GT3 rattles and spirit. Gearbox is superb and the engine feels like it has so much more get up and go than my Carrera. Just can't wait to get to use the full 9000rpm. I need to learn the car a little and found that there is a fair amount of slip built into the traction control before it comes in, it will happily spin the wheels in 2nd gear at 5000rpm on these slippery roads. It has 2 traction control settings, firstly you can take the stability controls off but leave the TC on and obviously you can have it all off. I believe the best setting would be to turn stability off but leave the traction on, that way you should be allowed a fair bit of slip without the stability braking and torque vectoring trying to keep the thing straight. I have my GT3 experience at Silverstone to take in December so i will get to learn a lot more about how it handles in the safety of their facility.

A couple more shots

 

Awesome. Enjoy the 9000 RPM when it comes

 

Thanks, and hopefully it doesn't catch fire when i do

 

Sorry, wrong engine

 

It's not the engine. It was the 75litre fuel tank being ruptured after the car was hit from behind after it stalled on the grid.

 

Simply stunning. I have gone a funny shade of green.

 

It's a Beetle... Lol

 

I'm liking the look of that

 

Every detail is pure car ****, It belongs in a glass case in the living room, I'd hate taking it out and getting it dirty.

 

Phenomenal car.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Congrats Scott, you own a truly desirable car.
