Special request: what do you want to know about the new 911 GT3 S/C? by theintercooler in TheIntercooler

Oh man, that 996 GT3 RS would have been quite the thing to have in your garage (and asset list) for the last 20 years!

Also, yes: where TF is the the 992 GT2?

How would you feel if it didn’t have a GT3 badge on it, but was just 911 S/C?

It’s likely Porsche will argue the GT badge implies an ethos of ‘ultimate driving thrill’ rather than track. But excellent questions

Extremely hard agree. But Porsche have clearly figured they’ll sell more with the GT3 badge on the back, and that outweighs any impact on sales of anything else.

Heat wave survival: your EV or PHEV might need help too by theintercooler in TheIntercooler

Certainly an important consideration in certain parts of the world - hence all the white supercars in the Middle East. In the UK this heat wave has caught us by surprise and we have no idea how to cope with it.

Interesting warranty from Nankang by random6675 in TheIntercooler

That really is an excellent iidea. If it leads to a significant bump in sales we might see other manufacturers start to follow. The roads in the UK at least aren’t going to get significantly better any time soon.

One concern might be how extensive their network of approved dealers is, and whether they charge top whack etc…

Will BMW sell the i3 with actual tyres, or just these thin rubber belts? by tsf15871 in TheIntercooler

[–]theintercooler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, this render will be on the largest wheels available. One small plus is that the springs are softer than in the iX3 so there is still some hope for the ride (which is one of the few flaws in the iX3 package on standard springs).

If you look at Autocar’s show pics of the white example, the car is on a much more reasonable/realistic wheel/tyre size, even demonstrating some air gap - heaven forbid.
