Porsche Carrera GT 980

“nothing can touch this for engine sound and response. This is the goat for a reason.”

“It's got supercar performance. It's got supercar sound, it's got supercar feel, supercar response. It is an engine like no other, and I absolutely adore it.”

“The performance figures really are biblical you get 612 brake horsepower and that means nought to 60 in 3.9 seconds”

“it's much lighter than the McLaren and that makes it nimbler and edgier and that makes it more of a handful”

“nothing else I've driven of this era or older has this level of communication through the chassis while also maintaining incredible compliance.”

“There's perfect Porsche control weights... you do feel reasonably confident with it... You've got hydraulic steering. You've got lovely brake feel.”

“I am just grinning ear to ear. This car is amazing.”

“This manual has just aged like fine wine. It's absolutely wonderful... it just adds so much to the experience because it's so rewarding.”

“not only is it one of the fastest and most exciting cars I've ever driven it is also one of the most beautiful”

“It really isn't an easy car to control the clutch is brutal the power is savage and a handling you really are on a knife edge”

“once you get that part down, and once you figure out how to pull away from a stop without using the throttle, it's actually not that intimidating”

“I am super nervous because these cars have a notoriously tricky clutch and they're expensive to break but easy to break.”

“the fact that this gets so close, even 80 to 85% as close [to a 750S], is nothing short of extraordinary.”

“New back in '05, this was £330,000. However, today this particular car is worth about £2 million.”

“I think the fact they're now worth seven figures is what intimidates you”
