Ok... Now that is a very good looking car that I cannot afford.
Edit:. (Emphasis on the first part because at least I can maybe see it once or twice). |

Yeah, I've seen the clips, very impressive from a technical pov, more of the same.
I'm even less interested in the McLaren Artura.

Sub 7 minute ring time with 500hp, that is bonkers.
Also 17 seconds faster than the old gt3, and 7 seconds faster than the outgoing GT3RS. :O |

I wouldn't kick one out of bed, but I find the entire 992 line to be the least attractive 911 since the 996.

It’s kind of crazy how Porsche throw so much development and technical expertise to make the fundamentally flawed rear-engined 911 so fast. Like, if they threw the same effort, money and engines at the Cayman, how much quicker could that car be with its inherently better mid-engined balance? Tis truly bonkers.

It's not a flaw, it's a compromise like everything else.

It's a flaw, if it wasn't then there's no reason they would have switched the 911 RSR to a MR. Same reason Corvette has transitioned to a mid engine. They both know they're reaching the limits of what a FR, RR platform can achieve this day and age with tire and aero technology where it is.
911 being rear engine is solely for continuity of branding and vehicle heritage. |

So a front engine rwd car is flawed as well?
