992.2 First Thoughts, the Singer DLS Turbo, Le Mans and Andy's new Beige Volvo
About this episode
A lively discussion kicks off with Andy and James catching up after a recording mishap. They dive into the much-anticipated 992.2 Porsche 911, sharing their thoughts on its design and features, including the absence of a manual transmission and the introduction of hybrid technology. The episode also features a recap of the recent Le Mans race, highlighting Porsche's performance, and a personal update from Andy about his new BMW daily driver. The duo reflects on the culture surrounding Porsche, including Singer's recent legal battles and their thoughts on the brand's evolution.
Andy and James share their reactions to the 992.2. Porsche just recently announced the second generation 992 and besides adding a T-Hybrid engine that comes with the GTS variant, they're throwing everything else away - no rear seats, no manual transmission, no more key-start ignition, no more analog instrument cluster gauges. The cheek!
In this episode we're also talking about the recent lawsuit Porsche brought against million-dollar modifiers 'Singer', we recap Porsche's recent adventures at Le Mans and Andy has a new daily driver! (To be honest, it's not a Beige Volvo, but it might as well be...).
