New German garage companion for the C43

Ordered last November, it arrived at the dealership Apr. 24th




and it landed in my garage this weekend.













Hope it plays well with the C43...

Gorgeous Turbo S. IMO, they are the best bang for the buck if you have the bucks it takes. Unbelievable power. Congratulations. I'm afraid if it were me, the C43 wouldn't get a lot of use except when the room is needed for more than 2 people.

Wow congratulations! Owning a 911 is definitely on my bucket list. I'm partial to the 993 but from what I hear, the performance of the 991 is incredible.

The C43 is my wife's car... She lets me drive it occasionally. Usually when it needs fuel or a wash.

Had a 993, it was a wonderful car in it's day and holding value in today's market.
The 991.2 TTS has tested 0-60mph in 2.5 sec. Violent, explosive acceleration!

Absolutely gorgeous machine! There are very few modern cars that I would want to keep in my garage for more than 4 years but that 911 S is a whole 'nother story When are you going to start pushing it?
