I thought about the same thing this weekend. Like what VW did with the bug. But i would bring back the 930/964 Turbos. Those designs were perfection. I actually don’t think 911 design is timeless as much as it was and still is so far ahead of its time. I just watched the car chase in the movie No Man’s Land (again) and was struck by the contrast between that 911 Turbo and everything else on the street. That 911 was from the future. In many ways the same gap exists today between the 991 GT3 and just about everything else on the street. The fact that the 991 and the original 911 have stayed so close in design is amazing.

These cars are classic and futuristic at the same time.

manifold I know u “get it” so let me b devil advocate and pose an intellectual exercise and by no means am I attacking ur concept.

a retro 911

1. buy singer (yes I know some ppl don’t like the idea or the price)
2. just buy an old porsche why invent RETRO. I have a 86 and a 92. granted not cheaper than gt3 by much but they are like new.
3.. buy less than perfect older porsche and fix t to ur liking
4. pasm ptv abc all great and I actually love them. and I had the same idea u just posted. then I talked to a few factory drivers and one of the founder of R gruppe. and i saw the light. “if u want a modern porsche u can’t beat gt2/3/rs. if u want old cars
then buy an old car. don’t make an old car drive like a modern car. then u missed the point.”. I wanted g50. they all told me slow down and learn to shift a 915. that’s how old car should feel. i thought hese guys are so full of ****. then I drove g50/915. u know what each shift of 915 is like a thrust into the ..... , each one is a climax. bc u never know if u clutched right and get in the gear and satisfied her (the car or ur partner).... i got it at redline in 3rd. I know she’s going to explode as I shift to fourth. .... **** i’m 2mm too far right missed the gate rpm dropped and the mood is gone....

so for those who are so knfstuatwd with manual and heel and toe get a 915 car or 901 car bc able to heel
and toe in a watercooled
porsxhe simply means ur not paralyzed doesn’t mean u are remotely coordinated.

i digressed

but why make retro car or make old car like
modern car. I can see make old car new again but not modern. ppl often discuss engagement. u know
modern life is hat u are testing calling and purring makeup on while driving. we are all guilty of that. when I drove my 86, I throw the phone out no coffee in car nothing. bc u sneeze too hard hit a bump the bump steer can throw u off 3’ tonthe side.

discuss

yes but do YOU want one? lol

more devil advicate

i agree gt car is too fast and I even venture to say it will soon b too fast even for hamilton, alonso, and any f1 champ. human only can process info so fast

so... we then say maybe make less power but better feel less wt ya

i agree one one side but the other side the devil says cars are toy. and if we aren’t alpha dogs we won’t be successful enough to have made the $ needed to buy this toy. so at the bar I will tell u my d*ck is bigger and my car has more hp. u will tell
me ur short toy has better technique and low ho car handles better. u might be right. but I assure u my line of speech is easier to brag.

look at biccyles. UCI has lower wt limit. ur bike has to be >15#. BUT consumers and ppl who can’t ride to save their lives buy high end bikes at 12#. why? bc they win the tour? no, bc they can tell u their toy is better

if u follow this line of logic (highly flawed but common) , porsche has no place to go but increase HP.

Ur neighbor c2 with turbo boosted to 1000 hp blows ur door off u see him at bar.... let’s hear the convo

not saying any of the above makes any sense but I like to hear rebuttals

PAG is in an interesting spot. they are screw every which way no?

me too
then we both have enough money left for gold chains and I can buy hair implant for my chest

Converions were all to metric so the 11% stands but your point is taken. Based on this to me it feels 50/50 for 992.1 GT3 being turbo. I don’t think Georg made that 410kw figure up and he didn’t mince words on the flip to turbo engines.

Isnt this exactly what Singer offers? (albeit on 964 platform).

i get that they are at significant price point, but to me they seem to offer the perfect combination of old and new.
