These cars are way better than they look. Drove the medium version and it was very convincing. They sound beastly. Clearly these racers can stop and turn too. They have to do a 2 door version don't they??
988 anyone??

 

Seems like something between NASCAR and Australian V8 Supercars.
The sounds is fantastic!

 

You cannot out-run ugly.

 

No 2 door version approved nor homologated to date.

 

Say what you want about the outside, the interior is gorgeous - and this is from a guy who daily drives a Jag.

You can't outrun size and weight, but they do perform better than they look.

An that sound is awesome.

racers have modified the V8 to be a dry sump or is regular pano a dry sump ?

 

They sound pretty sweet.

 

Sean, is that your next race car? What PCA class does that run in?

 

In the immortal words of Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive": I DON'T CARE.

To get to the interior, you have to get past the exterior.

 

Hey Tecce, I bet Porsche would love to see these in pro racing in the USA. Or not.

 

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel

Hey Dave, that is kind of shallow don’t you think. It is like say that you do not care if the girl is very smart, witty, great personality, and generally a really great person just because she is too fat and very ugly. Oh never mind, bad example.

Agree that they sound great in that video, the ones I’ve seen/heard on the street have a soulless whisper.

I'm sure they are great cars, just have zero desire for one. But there seems to be a segment in the market that likes them so good for Porsche.

 

LOL! Well...discretionary luxury & sports cars (especially ones that cost north of $100k) are generally bought on looks & name first.

That so many people have bought Panameras is testament to the gradual loss of aesthetics in our society... Brand name status symbols IMO. Goes along with all the people who bought Bangle-designed BMW's. Ugly as ****...but it says BMW.

 

What's next ? A racing Cayenne ?
