Isn't Trout on here anymore? He'd be all over this like a rash. Thanks for the rear picture looks really nice. I saw one today but it was debadged and it had 2 exhausts rather than 4, any ideas?

A convertible Ferrari? I'd never feel comfortable in one of those unless I lived in Monaco and everybody had one. I know the Porsche is hardly low key but in London it probably wouldn't attract too much attention in the way a Ferrari would.
Also you can squeeze two small kids in the back of the Porsche but you can't in the Ferrari and the Ferrari is so bloody wide making it a little unwieldy on some UK streets.

Porsche have went all VW with that front bumper. Don't think it actually matches the design of the car at all.
Otherwise damn, I wish it was mine. What a lovely car,

Porsche is a VW, I think if I am correct Porsche were still using parts from the VW Beetle/Golf parts bin such as indicator stalks and other various minor items until recently.

Very nice mate, the new Carrera S looks superb, doesnt do too bad in this video, quick car with the PDK box....
£103k is a lot of money to spend but you're right, it's only money, if you can afford it no probs, then why not. For me, I would need to go for 1 of the turbo models.
Enjoy

And I'm staggered that you did not manage to negotiate any discount on that lot, £29k worth of extras on a £74k car is a lot (Nearly 40%). Do Porsche dealers not offer discounts or is it because its a brand new model, discounts have not come into force yet?

The Carrera S is a £75k car, the MP4-12C is £185k, even the cheapest used is £155k.

It's a little deceiving as the uk spec car bog standard is 82k otr so it's only got 20k of toy's probably another 6k of that is essential. My biggest options that i could of done away with was the carbon brakes and aero kit. But i'm happy with the car, i decided to put the extra bits on it and it's a car that i have had pleasure in speccing and ordering. Porsche don't do discounts. You will get a deal on a demo, showroom car or a used car but specced car's rarely get anything off. I had £500 worth of Swissvax thrown in
