Is it possible to get a 20 million THB (or whatever this car costs) credit limit for a SCB credit card? In this case i might buy two.

which will help to wrap it around a lamp-post or tree and if none are available put it on its roof in a ditch ..

Which theoretically will message Porsche to say its been in an accident .. If it hasn't been smashed to bits in the aforementioned accident .. 

Looks an ideal vehicle for the Thai Red Bull family. Wonder if it can be fitted with bull bars to catch those policeman on motorbikes ?

That´s the idea of Porsche and the reason why fans buy the 911.

More beautiful death, destruction and bad loans

The REAL reason to buy this car....

A lovely car... I’m jealous of anyone who can own such a car, good on them for either working hard enough or being lucky enough to attain such things.... 

Any negative comment I make such as not needing such a car etc would just be immature and show a petty jealousy.... I don’t need to live in Thailand, but I do because I like it, the same with exotic cars, I would if I could readily afford it, I can’t & my priorities lie elsewhere though... 

 

The streets are nicer with such masterpieces of engineering....

It is only an uprated Volkswagen Beetle anyway. I've never understood the appeal of them - horrible interior, noisy and awful to drive.

911 Its a fine track vehicle . Its driving positions funny , theres no real footwell compared to any other sports car.

Of course, you’ve driven plenty of 911’s and write of your vast experience.... or did you mean the VW Beetle, in which case you are indeed correct - horrible interior, noisy and awful to drive but vastly different from one of the most iconic vehicles in existence.... unless of course one is unable to escape their jealousy of others who may own one.

They are an acquired taste. 40 years ago i had a 911.Sportmatic declared as the silliest idea ever It was one of its best bits to me. Also if it went over gravel at 80 the noise on the floorpan made U Jump All in all still cant see much difference in todays version exept its stupid price today .But then ive not driven a new one.[emoji86]

How corrupt do you have to be to pay 300,000 GBP for a car in a third world country?

There is nothing about Thai roads, specifically, that makes high-speed cars, sarcastically, "just what you need" as opposed to any other countries' roads.  With the exception of a few German roads no country, anywhere, allows the vmax of these cars to be used legally.

Yawn...another unoriginal 911 comment that is exactly the same as all the others from people who've clearly never seen or appreciated any 911.  Just because Jeremy Clarkson sarcastically says it, doesn't make it fact.

...from someone who demonstrates, very clearly, their sheer ignorance of 911s (or VWs!)

 

Which 911s have you driven?

A Porsche on the Autobahn is fun. But there is no Autobahn in Thailand...
