I love it. The problem is that it won't look like that for long.

That video shows 10.7 to 124mph. That's quite a bit quicker than the 991 GT3...

So there's only one English video review so far? The Harris one. Where are the rest?

The big press roll out was just this past Thursday at Bilster Berg circuit, whereas Harris tested at Weissach I have a feeling he got a bit of a headstart from Porsche Motorsports it takes a bit to produce a well edited and narrated video expect more this week.

My first 997 tt S had that two tone interior. I really liked it. Just put down a giant white 100% cotton bath towel and interior stays perfect.

You just have to drive it faster, it'll get lower to the ground
