How about this?

Cheaper than a turbo, faster than a cooking 911

Porsche 911 GTS

When rolling it will accelerate like the E60 M5 but be less practical, refined or comfortable. However, it will no doubt get more traction due to the weight distribution evidenced by the 0-60, no doubt stop better and be more chuckable.

£76,000 so over £30,000 cheaper than the turbo.

Thanks Trouty!

I'm sure it's a lovely car. Problem is with PDK and a few other extras it will be £80k, that's about the price of a one year old Turbo. The other thing is from that article it suggests the new 911 is out next year. To spend £80k on a brand new Porker the year before the new model is about to be released can't be a good idea in terms of depreciation.

Must say though that 400 BHP, 1500kgs and rwd does sound like a lot of fun!

That is nice looking but "The sportiest 911 yet"? Sportier than the GT3, GT3RS and GT2RS?
