I am not a huge fan of 911s but I do respect them. They look very similar because it is the only car that has actually evolved instead of just kept the name, and being a car designer myself, I do appreciate what designers do with it. However, even though its layout has some particular advantages it has some drawbacks too, and if the fastests cars in history are mostly MR is for a reason.
I don't think Tristan is a petrolhead, he just loves motorsport, but not cars themselves.
