No interest in one whatsoever. The newest 911 I'd ever own will be the last one they make, in the future, that is gasoline powered.

Given that the cost of crude is slowly but surely going up, I'm happy for fuel costs to rise. That will force more people off the roads and into buses and trains leaving more lanes free for me and my 911!

Even if they phased out all gas stations worldwide, there will still be a cottage industry making synthetic gasoline for the enthusiasts.

Bring it on...

ultramoto is infamous around these parts
Yes I would buy an all electric Porsche but not just a 997 with a motor swap like RUFs. It would have to be a 999 with cool new tweaks.

I also would never want to give up gas motors altogether, just for the raw sound of the mechanicals and exhaust note.

I don't need to drive a gas car every day, just a fast car that handles!
