Why I'm Selling My Porsche 911 Carrera T

Sadly the time has come to part ways with my incredible Porsche 911 Carrera T, the car that I completed the majority of Drive The World in. It's been an amazing 18 months with the T and I'm going to miss it sorely, but I have my reasons as to why I feel now is the right time to move on.

As with all motoring youtubers they look for cars that draw in the viewers and the £££. That's why some cars get bought and then sold quite quickly. The GR Supra is a prime example; suddenly it was the "must have trinket", but when it's flame started to die they immediately tried modding them for popularity. When that didn't work, "the I'm selling my Supra" videos got dropped. These cars are a business to the automotive youtubers. To us, cars are either a necessity or bought from a love of the car. It's a different world. I suppose it does keep the content fresh and interesting so it's all good in the end.

@@stubones That's true, but of those youtubers Sam is more on the other end of the spectrum, he tens to keep the cars more times, and even if he sells them, you can se he gets more attached to them. you can clearly see here, that if it wasn't for needing money for his business he would probably keep it, and that was probably the plan before covid hit

Hi Sam, just curious, do you know if the transmission in the a110 is able withstand the added newton meters of torque? The Getrag 7DCT300 gearbox is designed to cope with 320nm. That is why the A110S only has an increase in horse power but leaves the torque figure untouched. I am sure the standard a110 engine will be able to handle the extra 50 horse power, but I am afraid that the life span of the gearbox will be compromised when adding 60-80nm. I guess that some gearboxes have quite a safety margin and the test of time will tell whether they are able to handle the additional power. Still not sure whether it is worth the risk considering that Getrag gearboxes are notoriously expensive. Any thoughts or insights? Did Litchfield provided you with additional information that might be helpful? Cheers, Max
