Default Hans, zer gos ze neighborhood!

I'm a die hard Porsche fan but the 488 is off the chain. I'm impressed.

Very nice. F has the styling and design locked in. Nobody can touch them.

Interior pics?

All black, the typical carbon options, black Daytona racing seats. Not too many options.

Porsche needs a real mid engine car. The 1,000 different variants of the 911 gets a bit played out.

Nice and simple. Who needs overkill cosmetic options. Beg for CXX and give your firstborn to PAG

Enjoy!

Mainly acceleration and overall power delivery. Way more stout than the Speciale. Many are critical of the sound but it's not bad, just different. Does it rev to 8800 or 9000? No. But I swear it's faster than the 991 RS even shifting at 6500 rpm. Just a tire melting monster spinning tires in 3rd gear and 125 is there in about 8.5 seconds.

I dont intend to track this car. I'd probably be faster in the RS around most tracks due to the massive front grip on the RS. But I'll bet the 488 would be faster at Road America.

I know three 488 owners who sold the 488 and got their 458 back. Once addicted to NA always addicted.
