    New Boxster Spyder is 80-Year-Old’s 80th Porsche

    Ottocar J., an 80-year-old bought his first Porsche in 1972 – a Speed Yellow 911 E.

    Since then, his garage has filled with various Porsche models over the years, which resulted in the keen collector building a separate storage facility to house his expansive collection.

    This year marked something special for Ottocar as he bought his 80th Porsche model, a new Boxster Spyder in Miami Blue.

    Porsche made it a little bit special for him by taking delivery from Porsche’s Zuffenhausen factory. They also allowed him to be one of the first customers to affix the brand’s crest on the car’s hood himself.

    Currently, he has 38 Porsche’s in the collection including some very special race cars like the Porsche 917. According to Ottocar, “I can drive a different one every day for a month – and two at the weekends,” who regularly takes out about nine of his cars, including a 911 R and a Type 991 911 Speedster. However, when pressed, he wouldn’t divulge a favourite, though he often picks his Type 981 Boxster Spyder to drive.

    Will he slow down on the Porsche purchases? Nope, he has no plans of slowing down and plans to travel the Pan-American highway in a Cayenne. “When you are 80-years-old, you don’t think so much about the past anymore but more about the future. You look forward to things that are still to come,” he says.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
