Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Not really had much of a chance to drive the 981 yet as the weather has been so awful this weekend, but first impressions are that the 981 would definitely be a much easier car to live with day to day and sounds absolutely amazing with the sports exhaust and the auto throttle blipping on every gear change definitely has more theatre about it than the 987. And getting back in the 987 the steering wheel felt massive after using the smaller 981 for a little bit !! Hopefully be able to have a better go later this week.

It is defiantly a car off two half's ....The 987 is by far nicer from the back ....but the 981 is more aggressive from the front and looks great ..IMO smilies

 
Have to agree. Front half 981 and rear of 987 anyone got the option code for this combo?

Yellow is looking good!

 
Looks fantastic wish you many happy fun thrilled miles togetter

How does it compare to the PDK GTS [8D]

Can you recall the 987 Spyder I found the new chassis really handles the spurt suspension in a much better fashion ride comfort wise

Look forward to you initial impression

Looks stunning interior works well with Silver shades not sure any other colour would carry it off .

Is the wind deflector glass or mesh as it looks so fine ...does it have the camera fitted if so how good is it for tight reversing .. Many happy miles ahead

No thanks - looks to be too high maintenance for me (and I loath black wheels)!
