Confirmed: Porsche recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its iconic 911 Turbo with the limited-edition 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition, and a number of the 1 974 units will come to our market in Q1 wearing a R5 903 000 price sticker. Based in the current 911 Turbo S, this model features myriad Turbo-unique styling appointments and is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo, flat-six feeding 478 kW and 800 N.m to the rear wheels via an 8-speed PDK transmission. The Carrera portfolio will be expanded to see the S and 4S joining the T-Hybrid-equipped 992.2 GTS model we drove in our October 2024 issue of the magazine.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
