Well. Are you close to north Georgia. If so come on by you can take mine for a spin.
I traded my turbo S in on this evora 400 have tracked it twice and can say it runs and out runs many of the big boys on track. The evora 400 is a attention getter so if you dont like the questions and comments from everyone that sees the car you better get something else. So far i have driven this car everywhere. Weekend road trips great, track events wonderful, and daily office runs amazing. No car out there has the sound that comes from this amazing machine.
There is a reason road and track placed it in second behind the acura nsx. The evora 400 is a drivers car and the nsx barely beat it out because that car was a technological marvel.
I say to anyone that gets a chance go drive one before making judgement. My guy Blake at motorcars of GA in atlanta has 2 cars now and would be glad to show u around one.

Definitely not as complete of cars, particularly when it comes to overall usability.
But there are things that are objectively better: steering, double wishbone suspension, and overall communication to the driver. The Evora in particular probably rides better than GT3. Depends if you value these things enough compared to the shortcomings.
Have you seen this video?

I agree to a point, but then explain why the 570S and the 488 sound so good. I think Porsche spent way too much time trying to make the turbo cars sound like the old NA flat six cars, rather than just trying to make them sound like good turbo cars. Watch those videos of the new GTS lapping the track at the launch day and the only thing missing is actual **** coming out of the exhaust.

And as much as one would rip it for having a 'Camry' engine, on the other side it's a very smooth, proven, reliable 'Camry' engine. Seems to make a lot a lot of power, is very drivable, and sounds wicked. I wonder how the ride quality of the 410 compares to the 400 and whether you can spec a 410 without all the stickers on the side and rear. Guessing no speccing going on, given the low production volumes of the 410.

Not sure why the statement. Site has all the complaints but there is a much larger portion with no problems. Mine has been just like Porsche's past. After 22k miles I'v only had to have a tail light replaced due to leakage after a wash. All else perfect.
