@au_tom_otive Not exactly empirical data is it? A Cayenne could be 19 years old and worth £3k. Or the customer could want/ need the extra seats an EV 9 offers. Mate has just traded a (20yr old) Lexus RX for a Peugeot 5008 because he needed more seats. Not a brand shift, but a life change

@SteveFowler @Porsche @PorscheNewsroom @penskeautomall @zorronightrider Thanks Steve. Sorry to hear you’re a magnet for poor service - but you do use your voice to call it out as a voice of the consumer 👍

This year’s #FOS @fosgoodwood was the 30th-anniversary event and coincides with #Porsche celebrating #75YearsPorsche. The festival at a glance: https://t.co/J1Ms2SfkGE #PorscheFOS

@AutoBant The cars are real but the sculpture is engineered to take the winds we had and more. It is many of the other parts of the Festival - shelters, stands, hoardings, and the many trees on site - that posed potential issues. We fully support Goodwood’s decision - a very tough call

@MotoClark ‘This engine’s measured in Imperial gallons old chap…’.
Some epic pics of this from its Autocar test. One with the driver smoking a pipe during a little jump, I believe.

@raymasseytweets @bensamuelson @Porsche @fosgoodwood @PorscheGB It is a version of the 2013 @fosgoodwood central feature, celebrating 50 years of the 911, but was installed in Zuffenhausen in 2015 and is called ‘Inspiration 911’. It is the work of the London-based artist @gerryjudah, whose work also graces @StPaulsLondon among other places

@wdron @GarethEvansUK It would need to be mph and kmph, wouldn’t it? I’d avoid this, however, mainly as when attempting to write kmph my phone tried to autocorrect it to ‘knob’

One hundred years ago, Ferdinand Porsche took over as head of the design office of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. His development priorities: large and expensive cars.

@Jim_Holder Crumbs. That’s a bit unexpected for me. Hopefully less unexpected for you. Your level head, clear thinking, positivity and good humour have always made you excellent to work with - I’m sure they will continue to do so. Good luck and holler if you need anything.

@nayf_cars @quillerrees @t2stu I think you’ll find it is in fact Marbellous…

Our brand new shoot-out with @jasonplato is now live! This time, it’s a mighty battle and one of the best we’ve put on camera. All the way from Woking is the McLaren 650S Spider, and fresh from Stuttgart comes the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS! https://t.co/PlAcOetxR8

@MotoClark @AntonyWrites @rsp_ingram Off top of head Porsche charging card (3yr sub included with new Taycan) means IONITY rapid charge is about 0.34 a kW, which is pretty cheap I think. Surely justifies getting a Taycan. Won’t be like running a Turbo R but we do have a Turbo S…

@DickieMeaden Come along to a race this season - I will send you an email - though I can’t promise a drive!

[Rory Lumsdon @rorylumsdon]

@jleightonphoto Dexterity matters. My hands aren’t as good as they used to be but I can still play. Either way it’s worth recognising it will sound bad for a fair while, at least to everyone else. Let me know when you’re ready for a duet. We’ll be playing this https://t.co/1FHerRqudz

@Andrew_Frankel @dariofranchitti I think you’ll like the spec of our new press fleet GT3 Touring Andrew. Please do think of an excuse to borrow it…
