Re the PTTS being three years older, well it's also three times the price. But both of things are moot as the F8x clocked a faster lap with Horst van Saurma at the wheel in each car.
You always compare the performance of Porsche's two seaters to the M3, so comparing the PTTS to the M3 is more than fair. When the next Panamera comes out the M3 Comp package will be out and this cycle will repeat ad nauseam but, as of now, faster is faster. |
So wait...the F80 is the quickest Sedan around the ring...ever?
