Two seats
Power to the rear wheels
P-Zeroes

V8 Vantage.

Or a Cayman.

You're close

I asked AI which car met this criteria.

It said Ferrari F40, so as it's tradition, I'm going with F40.

[Mito Man]

Boxster

Virtually indistinguishable, both have terrible rear visibility

[Explosive Newt]

Boxster

Also close

[240PP]

F-Type?

[Jobbo]

718?

718?

Closest

[Explosive Newt]

V8 Vantage.

The servicing was going to get me and I really wanted the 4.7 not the 4.3 - which was out of my price range

[Explosive Newt]

F-Type?

I tried a F type S. It was good but ultimately lost on handling feel. It just didn't feel quite as special to punt around, so it lost out. Although it had definitely the best downshift noise.

[240PP]

718?

Closest

918.

ETA 981.

Yes!

Sorry I was being disengenious when I didn't answer to V8 Vantage or Cayman but you can't end it on the second post.


2014 Cayman S with various bits of desirable kit (active suspension, switchable exhaust, adaptive headlights, etc), in great condition from a seemingly well regarded specialist who has refurbed the wheels, put new discs on and serviced it.


The interior is a bit special - two tone extended leather which I know won't be to everyone's taste but I think looks brilliant and actually sets it apart from the overwhelmingly high number of black interiors out there.

Nice!

[Matty]

That's a lovely combo with that interior it looks great.

[Jobbo]

That’s lovely. 981 is prettier than 718 and the spec of yours is great. Assuming the photo was taken after the wheel refurb, they’ve done it properly too; you occasionally see those wheels all in silver which is a cheapskate refurb.

Oh, and you have the most critical option: that steering wheel. *So* much nicer than the standard one.

Oh goodness yes. Whoever bought one with the tiptronic switches rather than the paddles was a mug.

Thanks everyone. Collecting tomorrow.

981 > 718 as 6 > 4.
