Incoming Batman & Bat-car

To be fair I've had the Batman for a while. Expecting the new Batman in a few weeks time.

In the meantime, after a 6 month wait, a matching Bat-car (992 Cab) has arrived to replace my outgoing black 911
The Batman was worn for the collection.







My son on the far left thinking, come on let's get out of here!


Excuse the skip. I've got the kitchen fitters in.

What do you think of the 992? I just picked up another 19c4s because I wasn't sure about the 992, but interested to hear some real driver's thoughts vs the journos...GREAT combo.

Compared to my 991.2 C2S its on another level, though it is an evolution rather than a revolution.

Steering feel is incredible, the wider front track and rear axle steering, plus PASM combo makes the car feel like it's on rails. I know that sounds like a cliché but it's true.

The car also has a lot more thrust thanks to more power and closer gear ratios via the 8 speed PDK. Interior is a however a revolution and fit for the digital age.

Wow. Gorgeous. My eldest lad is doing a year internship at Porsche GB in Reading so he’s getting to see a few of these beauties close up.

Congrats.

Nice, great watch/car combo!!
I currently have a 991.2 GT3 (pictured in avatar).
I love the 992 redesign.
I am first in line for a 992 GT3, and I definitely want to match car/watch as well

Incoming Batman & Bat-car

Nice Bat-Items! Batman... I haven't even seen a 992 up close. Was curious how you liked the Sandwich Rear End? I know some folks were on the fence...



The RS, and wider front track would be enough for an upgrade.



I have the Red GTS Cab which the Last years for NA engine. Turbo's are the thing now.



I'm spoiled with the symphony of Natural Sound from the GTS Mufflers. The SA's at Porsche tell me they can tell the difference between an S and GTS pulling into Service just by the Sound...



I guess this will be the only 911 for me.



Congrat's on the Pair. Looking forward to more pics!

Love the colour of the Porsche, congrats Eric, and speaking of scarcity you can never find a skip when you need one so your one will be sought after as much as the watch!
