Good acceleration is obviously a must though.

Going back to Perrys' Porsche, the only one I would be really interested in would be the one you have now acquired, the Spyder, but even getting a build slot is difficult if not already a customer..........


To be fair, I absolutely love just puttering about in the GTS. It's a VERY cozy and snug interior, you hear the intake at any speed and truth be told, I've only really given it the beans a handful of times. The Spyder for me won't be a keeper.Long story. I'll likely order another GTS in a year or so as this is the last of the petrol 718 as we know it. Have a look at the T. It's the 'base' engine but all the GTS go fast bits. It's worth a drive in any flavour.
