Maybe I missed it.... What was the end result to have Porsche completely replace the car? Or did I miss the sarcasm?

I had a *similar* thing happen at TWS, with a 991 2S. My student was a Yellow (basically a step more advanced than a new solo driver in Texas PCA speak). She kept commenting that things didn't feel right, and every once in a while it stepped out on her a bit - but she was still learning to the car and asking the car to do extreme things every once in a while, so I chalked it up to driver error. But, no - the car was actually trying to kill her. All nannies on. Finally she asked me to drive and holey sheet....second corner into the session the car went haywire and did a 90 degree step out while at the apex of a corner (and we were going pretty slow). It turned out to be a sensor malfunction that wigged out the Torque vectoring and yaw control system.
Point is that these things are getting really really complex, and if the nannies lose track of a sense of reality, they can cause the vehicle to behave very radically.

Lets say 2 in 500 to be pessimistic. 0.04%. About the same chances of having Asperger Syndrome!

It's just my suspicious nature, but I find it very odd that Porsche as a corporation would be involved in this, since it's apparently the insurance that have paid off and not warranty compensation from the factory, which is what would happen if it were a defective part. As you pointed out, it would be "amazing" if this was already resolved and Porsche were offering a replacement.

Actually Sam, its only 1 out of 322 produced this year? (Im told by my contact approx 500 units produced to date in total since Nov 2013) as the one in Italy was reported on only via this "blog" which the media seem to have picked up as fact (I've yet to pick up a definitive Italian news-feed or eyewitness report yet on this one although I may have missed it).
