Maybe Porsche needs to buy bmws slogan of "the ultimate driving machine"

Other than the terrible VW bug headlights Porsche insists on using, that car is a thing of beauty and an amazing piece of engineering

Good news is, I was promised by my parents that I will have enough money for one of these when they die.

Not sure where they're going to get it from (probably robbing a bank right now...).

Now, we play the waiting game.

Love it. Can't wait to see what Top Gear says about the LFA style front intake slot.

As always, there has to be a controversy between DCT and Manual. While I agree with R&T, that sports cars should keep manual. Even if they use of manual has become an 80/20 split. Keeping the manual for purists is still essential for the overall reputation of a car company.
I'm glad that R&T can also admit fault that they spent a decade promoting the advancement of DCT. And now that they have the perfect DCT, they really DGAF and they want the manual back... BUT

The trends and varying opinions of the general public is sickening. If they started going to manual only on all sports cars, the majority of enthusiasts will be crying that the old DCT's were 4 seconds faster on the track. Then if the manuals Disappeared, they cry that track times don't matter.

I like both transmissions as stated b4. I but i honeslty only find use of a manual in slow to moderate speed cars. Manuals aid in the illusion of going faster. When cruising at speeds of 140+mph. I find comfort in paddle shifted transmissions. But that's just me. I feel everything has a place somewhere...

Maybe Porsche should have made DCT optional. But I'm damn fvckin glad that
DCT has evoloved to this level of advancement. Thank you Porsche... Thank You Nissan and thank you BMW engineers putting your best forward in DCT technology. Because we may lack a little involvement, but we are so much more precise.
