I'm so looking forward to driving one.

What's this about a 2018 hybrid?

The review I put the most stock in thus far, too bad no video.

I'm really looking forward to the RWS/PDCC combo on the track!

I really like Chris Harris's reviews because he talks about the emotion - the human connection to the car, not just raw stats.

I'm halfway there with you - PDCC? Yes! I can't wait to see how this works on the Turbo... RWS? Ehhhh, I've been burned in the past, and I'm sort of skeptical.

Of course he does. Did anyone here NOT expect him to say that?

I could have written his review for him. (I think he ran out of ideas)

*edit: And I could have done it before he had even seen the car. Perhaps even before the car existed. Anybody want to take a stab at his review of the 991GT2? "It's amazingly quick. Steering is amazingly precise, you completely forget about the electric steering. Listen to that noise! And you get some of the precision of the GT3, being able to use that amazing RWD to oversteer at will... For those that prefer manual, this PDK is amazing, and shifts so lightning fast..."

I've also got the hybrid one down as well (for 4-5 years from now - maybe earlier/later) - "It is blindingly fast, the electric power kicks in and just takes off! You can feel the weight of the batteries, but the benefit far outweighs the disadvantages..."

Then for hybrid Turbo "With the R&D from 918 Spyder, which did blah, blah, blah at the 'Ring, and was the most amazing drive, this is the most efficient 911 ever, with the most power, some of it instant, etc..."

I had to put these here, for reference later, just in case anyone is surprised with some of his reviews. He has his up and downs, for sure. The problem is - I love the car. But some things just don't help (see for reference: C&D's or Edmunds' comparisons of the C7).

LOL, great post, and you're spot on. We can pretty much predict reviews now given how incrementally each generation of cars changes, at least until we hit oblivion (self-driving cars).

Wow! All the reviews revealed that the new 991tts seem to be a winner! These reviews almost tempted me to switch my order of 991GT3 to a turbo S.
