I agree and disagree if that makes sense. I hate the thought of hybrids and ev's but I had the pleasure of driving a panamera turbo s e-hybrid recently. Electric has it's place lol

The 992.2 911 will be hybrid, then a few years later it'll go pure electric.

How normal non Porsche people differentiate this kind of stuff, I'll never know, I like Porsches, more so recently as they've grown on me, but I doubt I'll ever know what's what in terms of model

The Taycan is meant to be a weapon.

Can't give you a like for that, lol 
But you are right. At least in the short term, to meet emissions regs. Until there are too many on the roads and we run out of rare earth metals for the batteries, we run out of charge points (anyone living with on-street parking - good luck!), prices for recharging go through the roof, etc.
It really isn't a viable long term strategy... But hey, better than nothing at the moment I suppose for those it works for. Which in fairness is becoming quite a lot of people. And getting them onto electric will be a good thing.
It's just the end of cars and car ownership as we know it.

Love it.
Narrow body and impact bumper is actually a refreshing change to see atm amidst the plethora or fat ass cars and backdates.

Yeah I really do regret not buying a 964 back in the day when no-one wanted them!
I've a P-car from each decade 79/89/99 and none of them are road worthy atm! Nice thing is the '79 car will be MoT exempt so might not have to be too fussy about it now lol

I didn't realise you had more than the 996, any pics of your collection? Awesome

I've a 944 that's a bit of a garage queen (though 97k or something on her, just lived in a heated garage since the mid 90s) and a '79 911SC that has been a few different colours and is currently in bits after a far out relative took it apart and abandoned it in my brother in laws garage. Sometimes I purposely forget about it as it's in a mates garage. I don't think I have a pic of it on this computer.
944 at Down Royal - first time wet in 20 years!
Then there's this bloody thing too!
Aha! It needs a bit of T-Cut. (or T-Met).

Start a "go fund me" That last one could be well worth it if it's reasonably complete and the running gear ok!

Now that's superb! Even the colour is spot on, and I don't like pink

Oh yeah it's all there, and actually had some welding and rust repair before I got hold of it. Also a bit pile of new spare bits like heat exchangers, exhaust, and a shed load of new Porsche seals all their bags. Was one of those times in life I really didn't need a project but was too good an opportunity to pass up. The downside is that to do it all right (bare shell upwards) will cost an absolute fortune as it's beyond my skill level.
Love love that
Was past Kingsway cars in Dunmurry this morning and there was a red Porsche sitting, looked a bit like that but not 100% sure, was class anyway

What to do when you’re a designer and want to buy a car? You don’t! You build it.
