Porsche Experience Center Cars & Coffee - Saturday, August 3, 2019 -- Part 6

Is this too much "patina"? 


These cars have a stateliness that stands above most luxury cars

Great grille design that is an evolution of MB grilles over the years...

Drove an S2000 for the first time recently & was very impressed with the experience.  Very fun car to drive with driving dynamics and ergonomics that suit me well...

Note that nearly all controls (including HVAC) is within very close reach to  the steering wheel...

This is the MR2 Spyder from the early 2000s.  I don't have this nose badge...  (I have one from the original first generation MR2)

Very attractive Alpina wheels


Faraday Future is located within a mile of the Porsche Experience Center.  They brought a prototype with the interior covered.  Good looking design with pretty extreme features (such as the humongous wheels/tires) that are not very practical.  The build quality on this car was pretty poor (especially if the price is going to be as high as speculated)

This was a very tastefully modified 3 series...
