My mate Mark who flew the drone in the video makes some amazing videos on his channel @behindtheremote <br><br>It would be awesome if some of you guys gave him a Sub to help him grow 🙏🏻

I've tried to like 911, driven a few, they never 'clicked' with me, a mid engined 718 makes much more engineering sense, and by damn that one of yours looks great, love the early seat mod...spot on!!

I had the pleasure of providing the drone footage in this video for Pete this week. I’ve honestly never seen anyone so excited about a new car and what a journey to get it! Huge congratulations again mate and so well deserved. Everyone needs to see this car in the flesh as it’s simply stunning! 🎉🎉

This car is awesome. Much more special than a 911 GTS. Keep the black wheels they look great.

The seat inserts are spot on, this car is absolutely gorgeous! Much more special than a regular 911!

Lovely car. My wife has the GTS 4.0. I’m with you on PDK, once you’ve tried it I wouldn’t go back. My bike is a different matter though, I still change manually when pushing on even though they have quickshifters.<br><br>Love the Spyder but as we live in Scotland we need the standard electric roof 😉

Congatulations! It's a stunning car and no way inferior to a 911. PDK? This is a classic example of why saving the manual is futile. Few people will actually walk the the talk when it comes time to make the decision of which gearbox to choose.

So happy for you Peter. Fabulous car. The PDK box is perfection.
