100% out cars are still the same ones we bought. I don’t get the rants tbh, albeit I am slightly surprised that Porsche managed that many improvements in a refresh on the same platform. I mean I guess I shouldn’t be because they are Porsche, but whatever :CWL: Annoyingly I actually really like the new 21” Aero wheels when I didn’t like any of the designs other than the GTS wheels previously and they aren’t great with range ?? I’ll be enjoying my car until I think about getting something new
I also like the aero wheels. I've been mulling over getting a second set for winters, so may go with these. According to the blurb, the wheels and tyres alone give another 25 miles. Wouldn't surprise me if the gain was bigger over the GTS Spyders :)

Another part of the blurb notes optimised brake pads and regenerative strategy give another 4%.

Also interesting to note that the battery uptick is in the same case (which will make sense given crash testing etc etc). I'm wondering how plug and play some of these things might be later - uprated battery pack, lighter motors etc.

New "charging" tube display option in the display is interesting (but hardly a dealbreaker).

I'm intrigued as to what "media incl. source" is now in the right tube....that could be addressing one of my bigger bug bears when it comes to navigating media using the steering wheel alone...

The display stuff, however, *should* be possible to put onto the mk1. We'll see if they do :)

Having raced Porsches for over 15 years, I can't believe I'm saying this, but 1000 HP for a street car??? I think this is a bit crazy. Why would you need to press a button and get 1000 HP on public roads? 10 seconds of 1000 HP is going to get a lot of people in trouble, and hopefully no one hurt...:rolleyes:

Maybe to get away from his wife in a Plaid?

Already on our roads in much cheaper cars (ICE and EV), no epidemic on 1000hp caused accidents.

If those seat covers are the only options on the Race-Tex interiors, I'm really glad I got in when I did. I like going to Italian restaurants as much as anybody, but I'm not sure I want to drive around sitting on their tablecloths all the time.
I can recommend some other options, let me know.

But if I'm reading the slides right, there is more standard equipment. I'll have to use the Configurator to be sure.

Sorry to rant as im sure some are looking forward to this update however for me losing 50% of the value after just 12 months is not a game i can afford to play.
As the chap above said, this is an era of truly disposable vehicles very similar to phones, i am just annoyed i didn’t see this coming.
The improvement of technology over time is a given, and yet I don't let it bother me.

Fact is that my 2021 MY 4s is the best car I've ever owned. Love it and plan to keep it for a while and the depreciation will be what it will be. In the meantime, I'll be a happy camper ?
