Re: New 911
Surprised they didn't call it the Porsche 911 991.2 Carrera [4] GTS 3.6 Single-T-MGU-H PDK-E-Hybrid [Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet] Spoiler Flaps edition.
Re: New 911
The articles are all a bit hazy about how this is achieved, however, we know that the turbo has no wastegate so my expectation is that it can flip to be used in a dual capacity as a generator as well (which would slow the turbo down when off throttle) and that is how they ensure the battery is toppe...
Re: New 911
You have to have the 12v battery to isolate the high voltage battery. Doubling the hybrid battery would still be under 4kwh. Probably less than 6 miles of range considering the buffer zones you need. But that's too much battery to charge off the alternator/regen alone so you'd then need to make it ...
Re: New 911
If it had a full EV capability it would weigh 150kg more rather than just 50kg. I imagine that will happen in due course but this seems the better compromise until they're absolutely forced down that path. Maybe - apparently the hybrid turbo tech is 27kg and the battery pretty much the same again. ...

Re: New 911
Judged on those merits it seems to make sense other that the removal of the rear seats which is clearly just to be able to say it is only 50kg more than the old one, rather than nearly 100kg. I skim watched the vid and missed this. So all 911's will be 2+0 as standard now with 2+2 as an option? End...
Re: New 911
I watched Porsche’s official launch video for the new 911 on YouTube last night. Quite surprised by a few things: - when they first showed it, I thought they were taking the piss because it looks like a tiny facelift of the 992; - Mat Watson being involved in the launch video and basically doing a ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Ah - I wasn't complaining about the roll, that works OK, although you can tell the tyres really don't like it :lol: But that's fine, I don't plan on driving it like that. I meant the general softness, it floats up & down a bit on undulating roads and seems to pitch back & forth a lot, espec...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Starting to get the feeling that the suspension is way too soft for my taste. I guess that's the famous trademark awesome ride quality. Twiddle with the suspension settings and put it in dynamic mode instead of auto (using the little knob that sprouts up when you press it :lol: ) It doesn't have th...

Re: Your fleet running reports
GTS passed its first MOT in my ownership yesterday. No advisories and even tyres all showing good tread and consistent wear edge to edge... ...which is all nice however I'm pretty confident the startup clatter is getting worse. I took a quick video before a run out on Saturday morning - in real life...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I never really understood this concept, if I could have it back without cost then I'd happily have my car back. e.g. the RRS in the thread above - it needed £17k of repairs, it would never be the same. If I was in that situation I would have preferred that it had "disappeared". obs I woul...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
Yeah, hundreds of millions of pounds spent, no one sent, countless lost legal cases and the best they've had is a "rumour" that some illegals aren't crossing into NI because the threat of going to Rwanda. Thats the best lie the Tory's could come up with. It's not been a policy that has wo...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I found a 2017 Range Rover price list. A couple of slight surprises: Electric towbar was only £985. Seems like a bargain. Electric side steps were £3,270 :shock: All in all, it's probably depreciated about £1k pm over its life. Which doesn't sound too bad tbh. Sounds about right - I wonder at what ...
