A quickie from my phone, pictured here with her sister. I'll try to get some better ones soon, preferably when the sun eventually comes out...

Coz I just came back from a 'Sport Plus' blast and it doesn't go down automatically when you switch off!

The GTR was quite a car when it arrived in 2007/8, but the 991 TS is in a different league....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv8z7inZKpU

0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds

3.3 seconds quicker a lap round a short track like Anglesey on stock P Zeros compared with a 2015 MY GTR. :shock:

How the fook does that even move?

Surely he test drove the TTS?!

It's a nice place to sit, not sure I could say the same for the Sunny.

Looks nice
A 991TTS is one of the few standard cars that make an RS6 seem slow

What a shoddy advert. All the stats are wrong & i hardly think it's "remapped" to 1400 bhp.

I recall SVM tried selling Hulk a year or 2 ago & they were asking for £1/4m. Pretty sure they kept it in the end & used it for other projects.

Assuming correct power in the advert, i'm afraid the 991TS wouldn't get anywhere near that GT-R. Saying that, a 1400bhp GT-R or a Porsche 91TS, i know where i'd be spending my money & it wouldn't be Japan.

I agree, I thought the Ad was crap too, and as you say, a little more than a ECU tweak. This car has had about £200k spent on it too (on top of the car).

The stated power is correct.

It was the owner of this car that drove the Hulk to that speed record because he was the only one with balls big enough to max it, in the wet, on 888s!

That is a large dollop of testicular fortitude...
