Even the 2014 Carrera 4s has a listed 0-100km/h time of 4.3s. However, both 911s have a higher top speed and would probably be better on the track (I'm guessing).
What's a bit sadder is the 2014 911 Carreras being offered for more money than a 2014/5 BMW i8 -- at least here in Oz (check out https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...-7107956/?Cr=3). This, despite the fact only 155 BMW i8s were sold in Australia to the [collective noun] of Porsche 911s. |
It is sad, but Porsches, especially 911's and the 'collectable' Boxster/Caymans (GT4/GTS/Spyder) do seem to hold their values remarkably well considering the volumes of sales. I've never understood it as I look at the cost of a 3 year old 911 and think I may as well buy new!
