That's got to be my ultimate car, next to a new GT3 RS. I'd be a happy bunny then!.

no different to pretty much every other car out there these days, they are all interbred due to cost savings, etc..........

10 years ago Porsche didn't really do it for me either. But now... they're top of my wish list.

Watching the GT3RS's at the Ring destroy most other supercars might have something to do with it.

I've driven a Caymen round Thruxton and a 911 991 2S round the Porsche handling circuit @ Silverstone - handling on both was superb. 911 more so with all that weight at the back but you'd never know. Proper gocart feeling and you know what the car is doing underneath you. The driver feeling and sensitivity is really 1st class. I can understand with the GT3's and 2's are such good cars.

Like a Porsche

not a Porsche, I know, but I drove a fast few laps in a Lamborghini Hurricane along with Jo on Friday, and what an easy car to drive both fast and slow.

I thought I was only allowed to do a reasonable speed, but it was practically go for it as fast as you can job. Very well balanced car with a lot of driver aids to stop you doing something stupid.

When I had a go in an Ariel Atom they seemed to be very nervous of you driving very quick and got told of continuously for going too fast lol. (I needed aero honest!)
