Forget GT: These Are The Real Drivers’ Porsches You Should Buy

Preamble

One of the worst things you can do is to play with Porsche’s online configurator, because unless you happen to have a spare quarter-of-a-million, you are likely to end up feeling depressed: Will I never be able to afford one of these things?

There is an alternative for those would-be owners whose intention is to enjoy driving rather than acquire the latest limited edition 911 for show or investment. And for these aspiring Porsche owners, the rationale is easy: forget top-spec, new Porsches, forget indeed ‘GT,’ whatever that means these days. In any case, there is almost nowhere you can drive Zuffenhausen’s latest creations anywhere near the limit of their now light aircraft performance levels outside a very fast racing circuit, and except for professional racers, few have the skills to do that.
