Wonder if those are at or slightly over list price..OPCs can't charge over list on a brand new car of course.
Be interesting seeing whether the red car may have to be discounted with its comfort spec.
Based on my MY22 car pricing and from what I remember the MY23 price rises to be. They are both list. The only thing to add to the prices are the OTR costs which are circa £2k. Be interesting seeing whether the red car may have to be discounted with its comfort spec.

of had buyers knocking their doors down for the chance to spec and order a new porsche GT car.
Goes to show how quickly the market has changed.

Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how long they hang around.

That Grey car is a cracking spec and looks good value.
Makes some cars listed on the Porsche approved site look over priced! Considering how many people were told they missed their chance to buy new, I thought the grey one would have sold quickly, the red comfort spec might linger a bit longer!
Mind you everyone who wanted one have probably stop looking and moved on to buy something else or are waiting for the market to drop !!!

Agree with others re the ceramic brakes percentage wise proportionate to the GT4s value they are very expensive and actually don't add much value residually mainly due to the very high cost of replacement and the rear brakes in particular are prone to stone trapping. Advantages are clearly less unsprung weight for driving gods non rusting if kept outside and no brake dust. Both Porsche GT ceramics and steel brakes are prone to squealing contrary to popular belief.
Cage adds weight tends to creak and slightly unsettles the car according to our hero Walter Rohrl.
Carbon extended leather coloured stitching buckets chrono climate alc wheel with top marker are popular no brainer options.
You may prefer PDK yes its a great gearbox but try a manual its one of Porsches finest gearboxes with as usual obviously greater interaction and yes whilst ratios are a little tall it is rarely a problem in real world driving unlike the 981 due to the torque at lower revs in the 718 carrying you through. 2nd gear maxes out at 83 not 90 btw. The PDK is quicker off the line yes but extra weight and parasitic losses then blunts performance v the manual is slightly quicker once moving and has a higher top speed too. Interesting there are around half the number of bucket seated manuals non cs other spec dependent for sale v PDKs atm.
O/T as not Porsche, I had ceramics on my last car and not this one - brake dust is really annoying me this time round!Cage adds weight tends to creak and slightly unsettles the car according to our hero Walter Rohrl.

I see the red car has gone already.

I received the dreaded email from Direct Line today telling me to sod off at the imminent renewal; despite zero claims, full NCB, being an old fart etc.....
I can see the insurance market is a very hot topic at the moment, any recommendations?
cheers in advance
Classicline, trackdays included and half the other quotes though no commuting and a 5 or 6k mile limit for me. Think needs to be garaged too. I can see the insurance market is a very hot topic at the moment, any recommendations?
cheers in advance

Rejoined the club. These are bargains at mid 70s.
Booked in for stealth PPF.
Only thing that’s bugging me is the PCCB getting stones stuck and scoring wheel. Not heard any noise but had this already.
Love the PDK compared to my old manual feels allot quicker in real world.
Overall much prefer to my old 918, apart from noise beats it on every level for road use.
