It was on the highway 3 lanes to my right so those are the details I could catch. Wish I got a pic of it!
Probably the new Sports Classic. It’s the only turbo made in rwd only, and manual only. Used they are currently asking $490-$570k.

A nice one, but that’s like a subtle duck tail not like what I saw.

The Turbo S has a 2 piece electrically operated tail at speed.

That might be it. In searching images I came across Mansory, for its owner Kourosh Mansory. Mansory makes a Turbo S conversion, and its tail looks like what I saw.

https://www.mansory.com/car/mansory-p9lm-evo-900

However I did not notice the air scoop on the rear window like on that site, but admittedly I only had a brief look on the highway from 3 lanes to its left and I may have missed it if it was there.

That Mansory 911 Turbo S is pretty wild! 900HP, 0-60 in 2.5s, and over 210 MPH top speed, and limited to only 10 cars — wow if that’s what I saw (and I’m unsure) then that’s pretty rare.

Added: there’s also the Techart GTStreet R, but the tail I saw was more like the Mansory than this.

Those to me are beyond ugly. Let’s just add as many body cladding parts to it. Is this company in Eastern Europe by chance?

My buddy’s E-ray, still the only one in NYC according to him. Sick car. Definitely a fun ride to and from dinner.

A 1963 Chevrolet Impala convertible. It would be fun to take a cross country road trip in one of those!

Also, an Acura NSX, 1st-gen. Those cars are so low to the ground.

Nsx is also tiny compared to modern cars. Saw a red one about a week ago.


Impala cross country would s u c k .........fumes/dismal mileage, cruise ship steering/braking/handling would wear you out.

Those are absolutely badass !! The C8 platform is incredible, and a bargain.

Just got back from a nice Sunday cruise in the Syclone. Saw a Cadillac Celestiq, on my way back home.

Also, when i pulled in, the neighbor was playing with his cars, and i knew it, he did get something new over the winter. And it's the same color as his McLaren. So cool.

I also attended a cars & coffee Saturday, there were some interesting rides, for sure. I'll post them later.
