During his Cambridge days, he owned a 1924 Bentley 3L Speed Model and a...

Meeting the Latest GT3 Wrapped in Cartagena Yellow The car parked in the Porsche Center’s lot immediately commanded attention. This is the 992.2 GT3, the facelifted version of the 992 generation. Its body color is Cartagena Yellow, a unique shade blending mustard with a hint of pale green. Honestly, when I first saw it in the showroom, it didn’t move me much. But combined with the GT3’s large rear wing, the impression completely changed. The...
