Kinda hard to see the pictures on my phone, but from a quick glance it is missing some of the sport features that are a must for me such as chrono and exhaust. The one thing that really stood out is the yellow seat belts; while nice on many other colors, they look very out of place on this car imo. Red, or just basic black, would look much better. Other than that I do like the red paint with the black wheels and interior, but for me personally I had to have sport chrono on a pdk car so it would be a no go for me! I looked for a very long time for my perfect spec, and in retrospect it was 100% worth it, so if this is not "the one" for you I would encourage you to keep looking!

Pretty car. The 991 is definitely a step up from your 997. Is your current ride a manual or Tiptronic? The Sport Chrono has some features that I'm sure you are aware of (sport plus mode and dynamic engine mounts) but if this will be a daily driver, I say go for it. The PDK is very nice and the black S wheels are pretty unique. Good luck.

thanks for the replies
mine is a manual car, which for central London living can be a bit of a stretch especially with the speed bumps so am looking for the PDK transmission & it will be a daily driver, short trips and a blast on the motorway every now and then, SC is not important to me as it will never be used & given city driving nor launch control. It was a choice between this & a Maserati Grantourismo but I will leave that car for another time when i leave the city to appreciate it
now to make the man maths to make the deal

Maserati? Do you enjoy spending lots of time in the service waiting room?

I like the red 991 in the link. For me personally, I'm not a fan of black wheels, but I know that's what all the kids like these days.

Best of luck!
