et un autre qui a un sacre garage!! ca livre ca livre en tout cas
Sharing here too some very initial impressions I got from a quick and very limited drive home I made earlier today having picked her up from the dealer....
I did a drive for about an hour after picking her up. Also taking it easy and was mostly through the city rather than any interesting roads. Breaking in so did not venture past 4000 rpm.
Steering is wonderful. A huge improvement. Feels like my GT3 RS Gen 2. Wonderful weight and surprising amount of feel and directness.
Gearbox is a delight, super short in throw and riffle bolt in action. Very similar in feeling to My GT3 Touring which is a huge compliment!
Can’t comment on the gearing as I was short shifting the whole time. But I’m super impressed with the engine and how much more torque it has. It revs more freely for sure and I’m imagining that it will make the long gearing less of an issue for some people as it spins up more quickly to the red line. Time will tell as I get through that break in period.
Engine and exhaust sound is very different. I’m not saying I prefer the 981 to this or that I prefer this to the 981 but it is deeper in tone with more of a rumble. Reminds me of the boom like deep throated rumble that happens in my GT3 Touring when the valves open. Again can’t really comment until I can fully open her up but I would say it’s really does sound fantastic at idle and at lower RPMs especially with the sports exhaust on. No overrun backfiring or artificial burbles and I’m personally very happy about that as its more in line with the GT3 and RS and for me less tiring and more about the sound of the engine and exhaust under load rather than when changing gear or lifting off the gas.
Suspension is very compliant and not at all harsh in the softest setting. Did not try the stiffer option yet. Too early to comment more as did not push through any more challenging corners.
I’m looking forward to having the roof down for the first time for a more intense and aural experience and experiencing more over the coming kms.
