The car becomes less interesting with each additional detail revealed. Perhaps the full release will prove more worthy of desire.

You may be correct. Have had many Porsches.

Just getting that itch for something different.

Just wait till you sit in the bucket seats of the Performante. Worst seat ever made! Like sitting on an anvil.

Looks a little too busy with too much going on and also like a boxster roofline to a degree.............not an elegant convertible......lines don't flow, although it is interesting to look at..............maybe in other colors...........

Yes the sports seats on the performante will one day be displayed in a torture museum but they also sell a way more comfy seat that also looks great

All these “new” articles are recycled from previously written pieces. That’s modern journalism.

Yes and yes. An abundance of editors editorializing.

Just like the "Value Threads", a plethora of financial analyst.

Drive safe,

OK sorry about the delay had some bad family news.

Here are the videos of the Speedster going by and also one of the new Turbo: https://vimeo.com/user86703843 - I spent the following day at Spa with lots (like crazy numbers) of GT3s and RS's and this definitely sounds different but i'll let you draw your own conclusions.

FYI the best sounding thing on the day was the new Jag touring car thingee. It sounds huge and violent.

I thought the Gas Particulate Filter (GPF) based on new EU regulations will be applied on new cars starting this August/September build, or they have already started applying that device? Here in the USA I was told the car delivered by 2019 are the ones that will have the GPF.

Drive safe,

I hope that the family news weren't that bad.

Thank you for the videos.

I was told the Speedster should begin delivery mid 2019...
