I’ve been looking around for something to replace my GranTurismo with. £50-100k new or used, don’t now need four seats, it’s just an occasional car and not a daily driver.
There’s lots of choice and plenty of people on here have been through this but there seems to be just zero confidence in these sort of cars these days so the likely depreciation could be huge. Talking to mates with fast cars, everyone feels the same. It’s as if we are in limbo, in a phoney war just before there is a deluge of fast, semi affordable BEVs.
A 991.1 for example does not even look rapid against a Golf R, RS3, A35/45AMG and versus the new BEV stuff that is incoming it will very slow. Sure a feel good car does not have to be the fastest out there as that’s not the only point of ownership but with ICE cars likely to be banned from various urban places and people increasingly taking against noisy/high CO2 cars the mighty offers out there on cars as diverse as an M4/SL500/DB11 are there for a reason as these cars are going to tank. I could argue all day long about the positives and negatives of BEVs but that’s the direction of travel so what’s the best place to enjoy a loud feelgood drive? Actually, the nicely depreciated 4.7 GranTurismo that’s sat in my garage.
PS Car Magazine out today says the mid engined Modena Coupé out testing will be £200k....that’s me out!
