In the course of the year, Porsche has accelerated its investments in future technologies, motorsports and activities to strengthen the brand – such as the ‘75 Years of Porsche Sports Cars’ anniversary. Added to this are the costs of preparing for upcoming product launches; no fewer than four new models are scheduled hit the market in 2024. Despite the aforementioned expenses and inflation, the Group operating return on sales remains at a high level.

That’s what I was thinking, hoping that it is. I sent it to my local Porsche guy, but haven’t heard back. Will post if I do. Thanks for the response.

A Safari option would be a game changer for the folks living in snowy winters. A true all year around sports car as a daily driver. Count me in.

Now if I could just buy a few more years on this journey …….. alas, but not to be.
I have nursed the Targa to a few places I definitely should not have been over the years. I just hope there are no driveway trophy Safari jockeys:-)

I have seen a thread on 718 forum about changing PASM to SPASM to get extra 10mm drop. The parts needed were springs, shocks and sway bars.

I understand that the adjustable ride height is the complicated part involving technology that is similar to the axel lift. But is there a way to use OEM like components to achieve a relatively simpler lift, along with the tire/wheel set up from the Dakar to achieve a Dakar lite set up with a static ride height?

Thought would be interesting because where I live, the car is not drivable 6mo of the year due to the current ride height (ruts so deep that the under pan will scrape)

Seems like its a good possibility. However, if true, I doubt they would be introduced for MY25.
