flamboyant personality and so averages out the 'package'.... :roll:

For me its the other way around, boring personality with a flash car.. :ugeek:
I actually like the grey, as for this first edition model white, black or this grey are the only options, and no, :roll: i don't have a 'flamboyant personality', I think the grey doesn't shout out as the styling design does that, and that suits me just fine, comments from the locals say that the grey makes it look hellishly expensive, one even thought i had bought an Aston Martin :D

Great looking car Sir.
As many I wasn't to fond about the front until I saw one at the dealer in Silicon silver. I knew then it would be my next one :)

Yep, I realize it when you write this. I was configuring a PHEV P400e and what put me -off from the first edition was the limited choice of colors !

It does look " posh " [ ..hope that isn't derived from "porsche" .. :shock: ], so in a way I can follow the line of thought of the local :lol:

The urban myth is that it was derived from cruise liners where the rich passengers would move cabins from one side to the other on the return trip to avoid the heat of the sun - "Port Out, Starboard Home" was abbreviated on their luggage to POSH. However, there is apparently no evidence to support this.

That is a great set of photos of a beautiful car. Photos 2,3,4 in particular look fantastic. I’ve yet to see an actual example of this generation but I’m very impressed by what you’ve chosen. I thought I preferred the look of the original’s lights etc but that may no longer be true. Great choice.

Very sweet photos!
I have a 2021 P300 too and I wished to ask you of your experience in getting the car to crackle and pop on overrun? Look forward to reading your response.

Hi, just go into dynamic mode and sports [ lever to the left], rev to 4000-6000 rpm, release the throttle, wait until the engine revs down a bit.

Then VERY gently pus the throttle and the orchestra plays.. :mrgreen:

Its a kind of "pumping" action. Slowly press, release. But if you hold the throttle and release it a lot, you also get it.

Play with the throttle, you learn quickly... Be ware of a facial cramp later on in the day from grinning..
